VIA Technologies, Inc., has launched VIA Vinyl HD Audio codecs, the VIA Vinyl VT1818S and 1828S, that include support by ArcSoft’s universal multimedia player, ArcSoft TotalMedia Theatre.
With the rising demand for a realistic cinema experience in the comfort of the home, along with the growth in adoption of the Blu-ray Disc video format, VIA and ArcSoft have collaborated to provide an enhanced playback solution that makes home movie viewing more enjoyable than ever.
Essential for uncompromised audio performance, VIA Vinyl HD Audio codecs support Blu-ray Disc audio content protection allowing for optimal, 24-bit/192 kHz audio output. Without content protection support, audio quality is dramatically reduced to that of a regular CD with a sampling rate of only 16-bit/48kHz.
“One of the most important aspects to the home theatre experience is a system’s ability to provide high quality surround sound”, said Richard Brown, Vice President of Marketing, VIA Technologies, Inc. “VIA’s delighted that users of ArcSoft TotalMedia Theatre will now be able to enjoy the multi-channel HD audio experience offered by VIA Vinyl HD Audio codecs."
