CBS licensed it for all their programming like David Letterman and a few LaserDisc'a were released in Shure StereoSurround - Liza Live at Radio City Music Hall is encoded in Shure StereoSurround - and StereoSurround is fully compatible with Dolby Pro Logic and PL II decoding. Shure even came out with their own encoding system called StereoSurround. The Shure decoders were so good that they started being used in Hollywood to monitor the mix downs on films, and many film sound mixers publicly stated that the Shure was more accurate than Dolby's decoder. Plus, all the Shure decoders have an incredible display that shows channel activity - it doesn't show channel levels like most receivers, but instead shows you what the logic decoder is doing so you always see where sound is being steered to - it's wonderful to watch. The 5300, their third and last decoder was their most advanced with improved Acra-Vector logic that could steer two directions at once and built in pink noise test tone. There are two other Shure HTS decoders, the HTS-5000, which was their first and has a wired remote, and the HTS-5200 which was their second and has a wireless remote.
DTS DECODER TO DOLBY PROLOGIC PROFESSIONAL
Although no longer made the Shure HTS decoders are the best of the best - Dolby even helped Shure on the design of the Acra-Vector logic steering to make it match the steering characteristics of the professional Tate DES based Dolby Stereo decoders used in Dolby's theater processors. The VERY BEST decoder for Dolby Surround encoded LaserDisc's is the Shure HTS-5300 Acra-Vector Logic Steering Decoder. Pro Logic can only decode one dominant sound at a time and PL II is the same since both are broadband logic steering designs. Except for video games, I don't know of any discs or music titles that are encoded in PL II.ĭTS:Neo-6 was designed to decode Dolby Surround encoded films and DTS never made an encoder for it - Neo-6 is much more accurate in decoding Dolby Surround than Pro Logic or PL II because it breaks the spectrum up into 12-20 bands and decodes each band separately, which allows simultaneously dominant sounds to be decoded and placed in their proper channel wi no leakage of unwanted sounds or pulling non-dominant sounds towards the dominant ones. Pro Logic II is a different story - it refers to both encoded titles and the decoding system too. The MP in Dolby MP Matrix stands for Motion Picture, and only the very first licensed Dolby Surround decoder, the SSI-360, from Surround Sound Inc, carried the Dolby MP Matrix logo - after that, Dolby switched to Dolby Surround for home releases. Pro Logic is the DECODING system for titles that have been encoded in the Dolby MP Matrix, which Dolby identifies as either Dolby Stereo (for theatrical releases) or Dolby Surround (for home releases). One thing I must correct - there is no such thing as Dolby Pro Logic encoding.
