New LG Optimus 2X has Virtual Surround Sound developed by AM3D
The new high-end Smartphone from LG is the first phone
which is capable of reproducing Virtual Surround Sound 7.1 content
- this is possible because of unique technology developed by
AM3D.
LG has just unveiled the new LG Optimus 2X at CES in Las Vegas.
The phone sets new standards for performance of high-end mobile
phones and receives fantastic reviews.
LG Optimus 2X is the first mobile phone which is capable of
reproducing Virtual Surround Sound 7.1 content.
- We are proud to announce the collaboration between LG and
AM3D. LG is the third largest manufacturer of mobile phones in the
world and therefore a very important partner for us, says Jacob N.
Andersen, Vice President, Sales of AM3D.
The company has provided state-of-the-art 3D audio and other
audio enhancement solutions for industry-leading customers
worldwide since 1999. AM3D is headquartered in Aalborg, Denmark and
has subsidiaries in Japan and Korea.
The company's Virtual Surround Technology is based on years of
research and knowhow in 3D Sound technology.
Virtual 7.1 Surround enables the experience of 7.1 Surround
Sound on headphones or narrow spaced stereo loudspeakers when
presented with a 7.1 input signal. It creates the illusion that the
sound is actually coming from 8 loudspeakers placed in a 7.1
set-up.
The phone is also capable of converting 2.0 content and 5.1
content to Virtual Surround Sound. This means, if a 7.1 or 5.1
surround signal is not available, AM3D's Virtual Surround 2.0
algorithm can convert a 2-channel stereo signal into a virtual
surround sound experience similar to real multi channel surround
sound.
Developed by graphics processor powerhouse NVIDIA, the dual-core
Tegra 2 system-on-a-chip found in the LG Optimus 2X runs at a clock
speed of 1GHz and boasts low power consumption and high performance
for playing video and audio. Users will experience faster web
browsing and smoother gameplay compared with single-core processors
running at the same speed as well as instantaneous touch response
and seamless multitasking between applications.
The LG Optimus 2X offers 1080p HD video playback and recording with
HDMI mirroring that expands content on external displays to full HD
quality. The LG Optimus 2X can connect wirelessly to any DLNA
(Digital Living Network Alliance) compatible digital device such as
HD TVs for a console-like gaming experience taking full advantage
of the phone's HDMI mirroring, accelerometer and gyro sensor. The
smartphone also includes both rear- and front-facing cameras,
microSD memory expandability, Micro-USB port and a hefty 1500mAh
battery.
- LG's decision to use technology from AM3D in their new
high-end phone, supports the fact that AM3D is continuing the very
positive development, says Vice President, Sales at AM3D, Jacob N.
Andersen.
