Spatializer® UltraPC HD™ Bridging the Entertainment/PC Convergence
The digital revolution has resulted in a staggering array of media content and new entertainment options for the consumer. The convergence of digital media and the microprocessor has placed the PC as the nexus of digital entertainment into the home as well as on the go. The challenge is that the PC was developed as a business tool, but now is called upon to be an entertainment platform. Spatializer UltraPC HD™ helps ease the transition of the personal computer from business tool to a comprehensive component of the digital home entertainment experience. The Spatializer UltraPC HD™ audio processor helps expand the utility of the PC from just a business tool to an entertainment platform on par with many portable or mini component home audio systems. This differentiates your product by surpassing the expectations of the consumer for a more theatre-like audio experience.
Product Overview
Spatializer UltraPC HD™ includes Spatializer N-2-2 Ultra™ that delivers surround sound through only two speakers, Spatializer Natural Headphone™ for personal surround sound, Spatializer VirtuaLFE™ that processes the sub-woofer channel for a low frequency effect through ordinary speakers and Spatializer PCE™ for sparkling dialog clarity. Each of these technologies has been optimized for small speaker or headphone playback and can be custom tuned to a manufacturer’s specific speaker set.
Spatializer UltraPC HD™ delivers higher definition digital audio to mobile or desktop computer systems through the multiple and complementary use of these proven Spatializer technologies. Spatializer UltraPC HD™ improves the
performance of low cost headphones or computer speakers, as well as from compressed audio by opening up the sound field while improving bass performance.
These technologies have been integrated and optimized specifically for the PC, thus creating a highly targeted and comprehensive whole product solution.
How It Works
•
Spatializer N-2-2 Ultra™ creates a dramatic, expansive virtual surround sound field with well-defined center channel dialogue that resulting in heart pounding, immersive sound. This third-generation technology utilizes our extensive expertise in Head Related Transfer Function and audio filtering to create this new algorithm integrated for PCs.
•
Spatializer Natural Headphone™ creates a dramatic, expansive virtual surround sound field with well-defined center channel dialogue that results in a more immersive and exciting listening experience. Different listeners require different levels and types of reverberation to achieve a natural sounding presentation. By making this user definable, the listener gets an effect custom tailored to their taste. Extensive modeling of both Head Related Transfer Functions (HRTF) and room reverberation delivers an innovative and satisfying personal listening
experience.
•
Spatializer VirtuaLFE™ processes the sub-woofer channel with proprietary psycho-acoustic techniques to virtualize, reinforce and enhance the effect for accurate reproduction through on-board or satellite speakers and headphones. The result is a dramatic bass experience through even the most inexpensive “frequency response challenged” speakers or headphones that would ordinarily be difficult to discern in small PC, laptop or portable headphone devices. The result for the consumer is a richer and warmer listening experience.
•
Spatializer PCE™ delivers high frequencies that are clearer, crisper and more brilliant while low frequencies are more dramatic, tighter and have more impact. Spatializer PCE is ideal for improving the quality of Internet audio, which can sound rather lackluster and dull due to compression or low bit rates. Spatializer PCE gives the manufacturer an inexpensive way
to dramatically improve the sound of low-end headphones or compressed audio.
