Dolby® TrueHD Decoder

Product Details

Dolby TrueHD is a lossless audio coding technology designed for applications in high-definition disc media and other contexts where the quality of the programming demands playback accuracy that is bit-for-bit identical to the original performance. Expanding upon the proven foundation of MLP Lossless™, Dolby TrueHD is further defined by expanded bit rates (up to 18 Mbps), additional channel offerings (eight full-range channels), enhanced stereo mix support, and the introduction of metadata functionality (including dialogue normalization and dynamic range control). Dolby TrueHD is mandated for HD-DVD players and is an optional feature in the Blu-ray Disc™ format. Through the use of HDMI™, Dolby TrueHD bitstreams can also be decoded in A/V receivers.

The ADI implementation of Dolby TrueHD Decoder on SHARC has been fully tested using all Dolby certification tests according to Dolby requirements.
