CINEMA DSP 3D

Time

The excitement of a concert hall and the powerful sense of being inside a movie - we all want to enjoy these experiences in our own living room. Yamaha has pursued the fulfillment of these desires for more than 20 years, and this fulfillment has now taken shape as the Yamaha AV receivers.

What is a sound field?

We perceive sound from a voice or an instrument not only as the sounds that are heard directly but also as the “reflected” or “reverberant” sound that has been reflected by the walls or ceiling of the building. The character of the reflected and reverberant sound is affected by the shape, size, and material of the building, and all of these sounds taken together are what give us the auditory sensation of being in that specific place.

This unique acoustical character of a specific space is what we call the “sound field”.

Conceptual diagram of a concert hall’s sound field

CINEMA DSP/CINEMA DSP 3D

Yamaha has accumulated a massive amount of acoustical data by analyzing the actual sound fields of concert halls and performance spaces around the world. “CINEMA DSP” allows this data to be applied to create sound fields. This unit contains a wide variety of sound programs using CINEMA DSP.

By selecting a sound program that is appropriate to the content of the playback source such as movies, music, or games, you can maximize the acoustical effectiveness of that specific content. (For example, a sound program designed for movies can give you the sensation of actually being in that scene.)

In addition, the “CINEMA DSP 3D” function uses 3-dimensional sound field data that includes the axis of height, generating an even more realistic sound field with a spatial sense.

CINEMA DSP HD3

“CINEMA DSP HD3” is Yamaha’s flagship 3D sound field playback technology that takes full advantage of the massive amount of acoustic reflection data included in the sound field data. With support for rear presence speaker output, it delivers more than twice as much capability for generating acoustic reflections as conventional CINEMA DSP 3D, in addition to high-frequency playback capability, delivering an utterly natural and powerful spatial sound field.

YPAO is Yamaha original automatic calibration system to optimizing your sound and surround environment by using microphone measurement. It can be create ideal listening environment for maximizing high sound quality contents playback by adjusting various speakers setting and the sound field automatically.

YPAO-R.S.C.

In typical home, the sound has problems such as a blurred low-frequency range or a smearing of the acoustical sound image caused by undesirable sound reflection from the walls or ceiling. “YPAO-R.S.C.” is technology that reduces only the unwanted reflections and produces the acoustic perfection for your listening environment.

YPAO Volume

YPAO Volume automatically adjusts the high and low frequency levels at any volume level so that you hear natural sounds even at low volume.

Unrivaled audio and video quality

High-resolution music enhancer

Hi-bit high-sampling extension up to 96 kHz / 24-bit can be applied to lossless 44.1/48 kHz content such as from a CD (2-channel PCM) or a FLAC file for further heightening of the musicality in the original content (p.116).

Before processing

After processing

YPAO 3D measurement

The direction (angle) of front, surround and presence speakers, and the height of presence speakers as seen from the listening position is measured, and compensation is applied to maximize the 3D sound field effectiveness of the CINEMA DSP.

High-quality video processing

From low-quality digital video to BD (Blu-ray disc) images, any content can be played back as a high-quality image (p.139).

• Motion adaptive and edge adaptive deinterlacing

• Multi-cadence (including 3-2 pull-down) detection

• Up to 6 presets that can be applied separately to each input source

You can also apply fine touches such as detail enhancement and edge enhancement.
