Re: THX: Αξίζει για HOME CINEMA?
Καλημερα στα παιδια του forum.
Οσον αφορα το ΤΗΧ ειναι μια καινοτομια που επινοηθηκε απο τα κινηματογραφικα στουντιο GEORGE LUCAS FILMS και αφορα την βελτιστοποιηση της εικονας και ειδικα του ηχου.Πρωτοξεκινησε για τις αιθουσες του σινεμα και τωρα διαμορφωθηκε και για τα σπιτια μας.Εγω προσωπικα δεν διαθετω ενισχυτη με ΤΗΧ,αλλα με dolby digital,dts κτλ.
Τουλαχιστον εγω οπως και εσεις θα εχετε προσεξει οτι δεν υπαρχουν παρα πολλα εργα που να ειναι γραμμενα με ηχο ΤΗΧ.Περαν του 90% των εργων που υπαρχουν για ενοικιαση ειναι γραμμενα με ηχο dolby digital.Γι αυτο παιδια και ειδικα ο φιλος panosxgr που ενδιαφερεται να μην ανησυχειται γιατι δεν ειναι κατι πολυ σημαντικο.Επισης φιλε panosxgr για τα διπολα ηχεια που ενδιαφερεσαι να σου πω οτι εχω και εγω διπολα πισω ακριβως επειδη ειχα προβλημα χωρου.Βασικα ηταν λυση αναγκης.Πρεπει ομως να σου πω οτι ειναι πολυ καλα για τους σκοπους του home cinema.Εκει που μπορει να υστερουν λιγο ειναι στην ακροαση μουσικης.Ελπιζω να βοηθησα λιγο.
Πιο κατω παραθετω ενα κειμενο σχετικο για το ΤΗΧ
THX has been called by one British
journalist "... possibly the best thing to
happen to home cinema since microwave
popcorn." Nice words. It's taken almost
20 years to earn them. As a filmmaker
who scrutinised every aspect of
production and post-production, George
Lucas was not satisfied with the sound he
heard in most movie theatres. He noted
that each theatre was different and very
few reached the highest professional
standards So, in 1980, Lucas set out to
develop and implement a set of quality
control criteria for theatres. His goal was
to ensure that his films, as well as those of
other filmmakers, would be accurately
reproduced for moviegoers for whom
sound was an important part of their
overall film enjoyment.
Three years later THX, named after Lucas'
first feature film, THX 1138, had been
developed and THX systems were
installed in two theatres for the premiere
of RETURN OF THE JEDI. Today, more
than 2000 theatres and dubbing stages
around the world meet THX requirements.
As a further boost to film presentation
quality, the THX Theatre Alignment
Program (TAP) was created in 1983 as a
service to filmmakers and studios. TAP is
the industry's most comprehensive quality
assurance program whose services
include reviewing release prints for image
and soundtrack quality, distribution to
theatres of technical facts about a film and
proper equipment alignment, on-site
equipment alignment, and a toll-free
phone number and web site that theatre
patrons can contact to report presentation
problems.
Lucasfilm began research on the Home
THX audio system in 1986; it would take
four years of work before the Home THX
Program would be introduced. Today,
there are more than 45 licensed
manufacturers producing THX Certified
components for Home Theatre.
THX also certifies home video software
through the THX Digital Mastering
Program, ensuring that DVD software,
laser discs and VHS videotapes provide
the best image and sound quality possible
through the use of patented THX
technology and our unique quality control
expertise.
