the Noise: Digital Audio Projector Technology, Chips
and Equipment |

Announced in November
2004, Yamaha’s digital audio projection (referred
to as YSP-1 Digital Sound Projector by Yamaha) was
G4TECHTV’s Best of Show, CES 2005. The YSP-1 employs
sound reflections to create virtual sources of surround
sound matching a 5.1 configuration.
In-Stat sees digital audio projection (DAP)
as an emerging technology. The form factor of the
YSP-1 augments thin screens and the speakerless
application is the greatest form factor of them
all. As the technology becomes less and less expensive,
digital audio projector unit shipment will grow.
This growth is augmented by the halo effect in the
decline of the prices of complement product, namely
large form factor consumer video displays. In-Stat
expects to see almost US$1 billion in revenue by
2010.
This report encapsulates the mechanism of
how surround sound quality is achieved and where
digital audio projection (also known as digital
sound projection) compares to other delivery methods
of sound. The report also provides a five-year forecast
for both stand-alone and TV-integrated DiSP solutions,
the anticipated bill of materials, the semiconductor
opportunity and what semiconductor applications
drive the technology. Lastly, In-Stat anticipates
that digital audio projection, as a single-source
unit, will be incorporated into the form factor
of the television itself and will be an important
value-added proposition. |
