Posts: 4247 From: Bloomington, IN, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 10-27-2010 07:25 AM                     not stating this as a fact, but to answer those questions about branding, the first thing i'd research would be dolby and disney's involvement in dci -- there was a consortium and possibly some deals were made..?  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 10-27-2010 11:26 AM                        Lossy vs. lossless audio in theaters is a snoozer. Nobody cares and even I have a hard time telling the difference. The digital screens here may just not be good enough to fully reveal the difference. Maybe if we get Regal RPX or Cinemark XD then the difference will be more obvious, like it (apparently) is with AMC ETX. I can however tell the difference on my home system. Lossless is better in that situation.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 10-27-2010 03:09 PM                        But David, when they see you enter the theater, the staff runs and hides because "the sound guy" is coming. And now you say you can't tell the difference?  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 10-27-2010 03:24 PM                        They run and hide because I am well-known there for complaining about about things like "Why isn't the dialog coming out of the surrounds like it does with my Dolby Pro-Logic home theater receiver that I bought in 1995, which I run in Large Arena Concert Emulation Mode no matter what content I'm playing?"  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Goeldner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1360 From: Washington, District of Columbia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 10-27-2010 09:50 PM                     quote: Joe Redifer I still don't know why theatrical 7.1 sound is branded as "Dolby". Dolby has nothing to do with it. That's like AIWA claiming AIWA 2.0 stereo sound for CDs or some shit. because Dolby wants us to think that, even though 7.1 was possible for digital projection, it took them and Pixar/Disney to get their act together first and implement it... you'd think that Sony would resurrect it's five front channel configurement as it had for 8-channel SDDS. Let's go with the flow here: five front, four surrounds in the back, one in the ceiling - 10.1 Surround sound - the sky's the limit folks  |  IP: Logged James Larden Film Handler Posts: 14 From: Montreal, QC, CA Registered: Jan 2010 posted 10-28-2010 12:04 PM                        It has probably already been mentioned here, but NHK's experimental "Super Hi Vision" format will suposedly have 22.2ch capability. or  |  IP: Logged
