LIVORNO, 1st December 2010. The new codifying and de-codifying system for Blu-Ray® DTS-HD Master Audio® has today been certified compatible with the technology patented by A&G Soluzioni Digitali® for the creation of three-dimensional sound landscapes, called 3D- EST® (3D Enhanced Surround Technology). DTS-HD Master Audio® technology, for the first time since the arrival of digital audio, allows the reproduction of eight audio tracks identical to the master produced in the studio, thanks to the higher audio streaming speed of the Blu-Ray disc.

Livorno - Parma, Italy. The new 3D recording system based on Eigenmike® microphones array and the software developed by AIDA, University of Parma spin-off, and by RAI Technological research Center, it will be distributed worldwide by A&G Soluzioni Digitali®.
The patented system for the recording of three-dimensional sound landscapes, represents the state of the art in the 3D audio or 2D surround recording technology, and allows the use of up to seven "virtual microphones" in real time or post-production. It is possible also to use a joystick or the mouse to track the movements of a performer (or seven) on stage in real time, and to focus the recording on his voice.
“Since 1997 A&G Soluzioni Digitali has been focused on the problem of three-dimensional audio reproduction” says Luigi Agostini, sole director of A&G, “ and even if our X-spat boX2 was already the best practical and economical solution on the market for installations and live performances, in the recording sector we were searching for a solution with the same power and flexibility. Using 3D VMS, developed by Angelo Farina, Andrea Capra and Leonardo Scopece, you are able to record an event with only one Eigenmike and then, later, you can use the software to simulate the positioning of seven microphones on the event location, with different polar patterns.
If you do not like the positions and the kind of microphones you have chosen you can change those easily, and you can not do this with traditional microphones, once you have recorded a gig you can only work on mix, but the kind of microphones you have chosen and their positions will remain forever. It is a fantastic feature, in my opinion.” For more technical information please download the White Paper presented at IBC 2011.

3D audio that can be achieved through the X-spat boX2 workstation for productions in 3D-ESTTM created and marketed by A&G Soluzioni Digitali, when played back through a 7.0 or 8.0 speaker setup, is the most lifelike and spectacular audio experience for a home theatre system currently available on the market.
