The main difference between all encoding / decoding Atmos-compatible audio device was the complete absence of the usual channels to record. Any other encoding format directs each recorded track multichannel record strictly allotted to it a channel or column (subwoofer). In this playback system needs to programmatically specify the location in advance and / or parameters playback devices (in some cases not even specify and customize their own, as they say, hands).
The latest development of Dolby Laboratory operates the tracks as a juggler: the system automatically tests itself, determines the configuration of the reproductive system and reproduces the record channels are not in accordance with the pre-recorded in the settings file (in which some channels can be reproduced properly or not completely reproduced), and in accordance with its own algorithms. They allow you to distribute sound to any system well.
In addition, the Atmos currently is one of the best formats for playback and three-dimensional simulation (rather surround) sound. This is achieved at the expense of the same algorithms and is available even when the configuration of audio 2.0 or 2.1. According to the manufacturer, it allows you to output the sound to a whole new level.
With Atmos 3D-sounds appear in all its diversity, transferred their slightest shades from the lowest to the highest tones. In addition, a new standard provides more uniform throughout the volume of the playback sound picture.
Now Playing new standard and got to the mobile devices: Lenovo announced immediately three new items, audio chip equipped to decode Dolby Atmos.
The company's first tablet announced two 8-inch Tab 2 A8 and 10-inch Tab 2 A10.
Eight-NEW has a screen with a resolution of 1280 × 720. 64-bit quad-core Mediatek 8161 processor coupled with 1 GB of RAM is sufficient for most common tasks.
Since the tablet does not belong to the top category, amount of internal storage is only 16 GB (there is a connector for a memory card). battery capacity - 4200 mAh, which, according to the manufacturer, should be enough for eight hours of work. In part, this is achieved at the expense of the fifth version of Android on board.
Several color options - white, pink, blue and black - also for someone will be a significant advantage.
In addition, the tablet, as well as a top option has two versions: Wi-Fi (7900 rubles) and LTE (significantly more expensive - 11 000 rubles for the pleasure with two SIM cards).
Lenovo Tab 2 A10 today - this is one of the flagship models of the company. Unfortunately, it can boast only Android 4.4, later versions of the operating system has not yet assumed.
Another difference (logical) was screen resolution that is 1920 × 1080 pixels.
While the processor is similar to the younger version, large size body significantly improved tablet: battery enough already for 10 hours, well, RAM in a 10-inch tablet is exactly two times more than in the low counterparts.
Color options are only two: blue and white.
Model with Wi-Fi will cost the buyer in 12 200 rubles, and dvuhsimochny LTE-plate as much as 17 100 rubles.
Even more interesting device is a smartphone lenovo A7000. This innovation relates to the mainstream PHABLET. Mediatek MT6752m disappoint processor and screen with HD-resolution, which is no longer sufficient for screens of 5.5 inches. The rest of the new product promises to be quite a good choice for a universal handheld device to "call in and listen to music": 2 GB of RAM, 8 camera and a 5 megapixel. In addition, the on-board device has two slots for SIM cards, one of which is to support LTE. All of this is powered by a battery capacity of 2900 mAh battery. While on board, the cost of new items is running Android 5.0 will be only $ 169.
Unfortunately, the news has not yet reached the Russian market (smartphone will go on sale in May, and tablets - in June) Therefore, it remains to wonder how they will support the work of the new standard, already known for his work in a variety of film industry. It is clear that Atmos algorithms will strongly improve the sound that can compete with audiophile phones equipped with specialized digital-to-analog converters and professional audio chip (because the sound quality depends on many factors, and not always expensive DAC acquitted due to lack of quality interchanges, corny does not fit into the mobile device).
However, there is a more interesting option. Previously, Google has announced that Android 5 will support the connection of external audio devices technology Plug and Play, including DAC, sound cards and amplifiers.
Thus, Lenovo new items can be used as the host for the entire mobile audio (A rather high level, sufficient to work in the field for some modest discotheque or holiday), passing them function decoder.
