What other applications are there for Dolby Digital Plus?

The advanced spectral coding efficiencies of Dolby Digital Plus enable
content producers to deliver high-resolution multichannel soundtracks at
lower bit rates than with Dolby Digital. This makes it ideal for emerging
bandwidth-critical applications including cable, IPTV, IP streaming, and
satellite (DBS) and terrestrial broadcast. Dolby Digital Plus is also a preferred
medium for delivering BonusView (Profile 1.1) and BD-Live™ (Profile 2.0)
interactive audio content on Blu-ray Disc. Delivering higher quality and more
channels at higher bit rates, plus greater efficiency at lower bit rates, Dolby
Digital Plus has the flexibility to fulfill the needs of new content delivery
formats for years to come.



What type of connector is required to transport
Dolby Digital Plus content?

A high-bandwidth HDMI™ 1.3 digital interface will transport Dolby Digital
Plus bitstream signals directly to advanced digital A/V receivers equipped
with Dolby Digital Plus decoding. Multichannel Dolby Digital Plus signals
decoded inside the player can also be transported to a connected A/V
receiver via analog outputs. Dolby Digital Plus signals decoded to PCM
inside the player can be transported via HDMI 1.1, HDMI 1.2, and HDMI 1.3
connections, and the majority of Blu-ray players support this capability.
