Dolby Digital 5.1 Creator
technology enables users to record home movies and home video soundtracks in
Dolby Digital audio
Karlsbad, Germany (April 07, 2005) -- Nero, leaders in digital media
technology, announced today that Dolby® Digital 5.1 sound creation has been
integrated into NeroVision Express 3, an application of the award-winning Nero 6
software.
Dolby Digital 5.1 Creator is a sophisticated audio
coding technology that formats audio content into a multichannel Dolby Digital
bitstream, enabling consumers to create home movies with rich, full, surround
sound. As a result of its coding efficiencies, 5.1-channel Dolby Digital
requires less data than stereo PCM, resulting in savings in disc space and
allowing consumers to make longer recordings or store higher-quality video
content by assigning higher data rate to video. For mastering 5.1-channel
DVD-Video content, NeroVision Express will upmix the audio input material to
Dolby Digital 5.1 sound, using the advanced technology of Nero UpMix.
"With Nero, users are completely in control of
every aspect of the audio and video creation process," said Greg Rodehau,
Director, PC Technology Marketing, Dolby Laboratories. 'Adding Dolby Digital 5.1
Creator enables users to create videos that offer a more immersing and realistic
experience to viewers."
NeroVision Express 3 is a user-friendly video
editing and authoring tool. It can edit and author video from virtually any
input source and record video files to DVD-Video, Video CD (VCD), Super Video CD
(SVCD), miniDVD, and now Nero Digital™. Chapters can be created using automatic
scene detection, videos can be trimmed in a fast and flexible way, and
customized menus can be created using pre-defined layout templates and button
frames. Extensive editing is available for more advanced users, while fast and
friendly wizards for the keen enthusiast at any skill level are always in
control. In addition, when creating a DVD-Video project, the user will now have
the option of selecting Dolby Digital 5.1 as the target audio stream.
'Dolby is a household name and a leader in the
digital audio reproduction arena," said Jim Corbett, Executive Director of Nero
AG. 'Adding Dolby Digital multichannel capability to Nero's digital video
creation products is the perfect combination of video editing and 5.1 soundtrack
creation."
Nero 6 users have the possibility to purchase the
Dolby Digital 5.1 Multichannel Plug-in at the Nero online shop on www.nero.com.
