This might be just the thing to get 5.1 audio for Netflix Streaming. I like the idea of that! – AudioREVIEW
Dolby Laboratories, Inc. /quotes/comstock/13*!dlb/quotes/nls/dlb (DLB 53.08, 0.00, 0.00%) and digital music service provider Omnifone today announced an international collaboration to introduce the multi-platform digital file format Dolby(R) Pulse into cloud-based music services for mobile, PC, in-home, and in-car streaming and downloading. To achieve this, Omnifone will be Dolby’s first customer to utilize the pre-processing and encoding tool Dolby Media Generator to encode its entire global catalogue of over 6.5 million tracks into the Dolby Pulse format.
Dolby Pulse combines the efficiency of High Efficiency AAC (HE AAC) audio coding with Dolby’s proven quality and audio expertise, ensuring an optimal combination of quality, efficiency, and integrity of content. Part of the MPEG-4 standard, HE AAC offers rich, premium sound at low bit rates, making it ideal for bandwidth-constrained applications. The Dolby Pulse system adds true Dolby metadata capability to the efficiency of open standard HE AAC.
