LaserDisc Audio Guide – Part 3: AC-3 Dolby Digital
Culturedog Sam Hatch has returned with a small series of videos hashing out the convoluted history of the audio portion of LaserDisc history. Analog, digital, mono, stereo, surround, Pro-Logic, AC-3, Dolby Digital, DTS… all those confusing acronyms and output jacks… all will be broken down and explained.
In this third video, Sam powers through the advent of 5.1 surround sound and its transition from the cinemaplexes to home theaters in 1995. The primary focus of this discussion is on AC-3, the audio codec also known as Dolby Digital and the somewhat confusing selection of consumer-grade gear that featured it. Players, decoders and demodulators… oh my!
Strap in and crank it up!
