The all new 17.1 Surround Sound allows you to control each and every channel independently! This is new to the DVD market as all the current available DVD players do not allow any manipulation on the speakers. DirectDVD bypassed this hurdle by implementing the 17.1 Surround Sound package.

Designed by Orion Studios - this independent channel mixer is state of the art processing (64 bit) to be exact in mixing and delivering your AC3 5.1-6.1 - to 17.1 potentials, directly to your speakers.

Acting as an independent filter, the 17.1 can process directly any of the popular Dolby Channels and then pass the control back to the user- what you see is the final delivery to your speakers.

This package is new to the DirectDVD product- and we hope to be able to provide future editions in the HD series with more state of the art advances in 64 bit mixing.

Processing surround channels with the DirectDVD Mixer allows you to visually see each and every output channel visually! You can create stunning mixes directly in the program without having to mess with outside control panels or external hardware. All the processing is done within the DirectDVD engine. This plug-in is currently a popular subject among the development, as we tend to use this for all our Movie playbacks. Mixing the channels in a movie allows you to gain that perfect sound quality probably missing from your external speakers. Try the channel separation and we are sure you will be surprised!
Your capabilities to use 5.1 Mixdown features just got broadened. DirectDVD HD features the only 5.1 Mixdown where 5.1 Channels of audio can be mixed visually to (2) independent channels. What this means is that you can take a Movie- Encoded with Dolby AC3- and choose which speakers will be altered during the mix. If your are traveling or do not have the capabilities of 5.1 Channel Surround Speakers - DirectDVD will give you all that you have been missing. Speakers can now be placed where and how you want the sound pictured.

Professional Audio Mixing in a DVD Player is now a reality with the 5.1 Mixdown features of DirectDVD.
