With the newly developed upmixer, users can experience three-dimensional surround sound not only with surround sound format content, but also with stereo content, like streaming video or music services. Analysing the track in real time the new algorithm extracts individual sound objects depending on their localisation and reallocates them resulting in three-dimensional surround sound.
