Toshiba television ( in Japan ) will be the first to feature good old Dubbly ’s newest engineering , Dolby Volume , a smart system aimed at leveling off myringa - smashing sources and content — hopefully eradicating the twin evils of flashy - hindquarters boob tube commercials and poorly - master MP3s . Here ’s how it works :
The organization “ continually monitors ( or ‘ listens ’ to ) the audio at all time and performs content - dependent processing … [on ] all types of audio recording . ” The processing is n’t just square - up compression , it ’s more of a fresh EQ that takes dialogue and euphony into concern , and adjusts many frequency bands . This has the welfare of retain funky artifacts out of the process , but it does of course take more horsepower to do , hence the slow roll - out . The first TVs to have it will be Toshiba ’s REGZA ZH500 and ZV500 series LCD HDTVs , which will be out in Japan next calendar month . No word yet on the US arrival .
In vitrine you ’re wondering , Dolby Volume does have an advanced “ nighttime ” mode that lets you hear everything in big heroic films without wake the substantial other sort enough to put up with your midnight epic marathons . That ’s all we get it on for now — when it slay the US ( hopefully this year ) we ’ll test it with American programme idiot box , a shipload of videodisk and Blu - rays , and an iPod , to see for ourselves how it repair those shrewish job .
