Mike, If they had native 5.1 material, wouldn't they make mention of that? Seems like a huge selling point.
The other indication that the source material is stereo comes when they share this information: > Gary said the Omnia DSP unit and mating software package being used at > Radio Free Colorado can and does mathematically derive separate stereo, > full-range surround for all channels up to 5.1, whether the original > source material RFC plays is surround encoded or not. I'm not trying to bash RFC. I'm just trying to clarify for everyone reading here that the title and discussion about broadcasting in 5.1 is a bit of a misnomer. Yes, they are broadcasting in 5.1. *But*, unless someone clarifies for me otherwise, I get practically the same 5.1 effect if I take the any stereo-originated program in the world and engage the Dolby PrologicII button on my receiver. Now I have "separate stereo, full-range surround for all channels up to 5.1" just like RFC claims. -- SamS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SamS's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9261 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67535 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
