Engage
Engage algorithm – introduction
The Engage algorithm deals with three-dimen-
sional sound reproduction in headphones. Input
5.0 mixes purposed for cinema, DVD or audio
only (e.g. DTS and DVD-audio), and achieve an
engaging surround reproduction using ordinary
headphones. The five Input channels are po-
sitioned as a “L, C, R, LS, RS” (5.0-mix) in the
headphones, and delivers optimum surround
results for in-flight entertainment, web, games,
or headphone optimized tracks for MiniDisc and
CD.
After having finished a 5.1 music or film mix, you
can now deliver optimum surround results for
those of your listeners using headphones. A Bin-
aural version needing only the extra production
and approval time it takes to do one real-time
transfer. From flight entertainment, over web-
content and games to headphone optimized
tracks on ordinary MiniDiscs and CDs.
Combined with MD-5.1, Toolbox-5.1 and VSS™
5.1, System 6000 offers an integrated and truly
flexible solution to tailoring a 5.1-mix to different
headphone listening conditions:
– When you need dynamic range condition-
ing of the 5.1 signal before format conversion
through Engage.
– When you need peak limiting of the Engaged
mix.
– When you need pristine 5.1 Ambience or
Room Simulation because of the confined
headphone environment.
– When you wish to compare 5.1 down-mixed to
normal stereo against 5.1 down-mixed using
Engage.
– When you need special treatment of the LFE
channel or the low frequency spectrum of your
mix.
The Engage algorithm occupies:
– @ Normal Sample Rate: 1/4 DSP Resource
– @ Double Sample Rate: Not Available
