Surround Sound Movies

This section explains how to create Sofdec2 data that supports 5.1-channel surround sound.

Required Files

To create Sofdec2 data that supports 5.1-channel surround sound, you will need six channels of WAV files for the audio materials, in addition to the video material file.

As long as you have these six channels of audio materials, you can create movie data that supports surround sound in exactly the same way as monaural or stereo movie data.

For details about speaker positions and channels, refer to Audio Material Files .
