Product Details

DTS Surround Sensation for SHARC is an audio post-processing module specified by DTS Inc. for the purpose of delivering enhanced stereo experience from a multi-channel surround source. It offers virtualization algorithms for both headphones and speaker output modes. In addition to superior down-mixing functions, the technology also includes enhancement to bass as well as creating clearer dialog audio in movie soundtracks.

  • This table highlights example SHARC processors and expected MIPS performance.
  • MIPS measured using bass enhancement/voice clarity/LFE mix enabled, typical sample rate Fs=48 kHz, optimal memory layout, 5.1 channels input, with a typical buffer size of 512 samples per channel running on ADSP-21469 processor silicon revision 0.2.
  • Memory usage is for headphone virtualization mode, which can also be used for speaker virtualization mode.
  • “Data RAM” for one instance includes stack, scratch, instance, and minimum size single buffer shared for input and output.
  • 1 KiB = 1024 Bytes.
  • “Averaged Peak” is a four frame moving average of the MIPS consumed by the module.
