Designed for projects with disc space constraints, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio delivers a high definition reproduction of the original studio master.
This near perfect reproduction has a constant bit-rate that can range from 2.0 Mbps to 6.0 Mbps. Like DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio can provide up to 7.1 discrete channels via HDMI 1.3 or analog connections. The audio resolution can support upto 96 kHz / 24 bit and includes backward compatibility with DTS Digital Surround Core. This is ideal for consumers with legacy equipment. Higher sampling frequencies, greater bit depth and additional channels also contribute to higher-peak bit rates.
The encoding of this format along with the backward compatibility only requires a single pass, up to 4 times faster than real time.
