The Melody decoder/post-processor is touted as the industry's first single-chip decoder/post-processor for THX Surround EX, DTS-ES Extended Surround, and Dolby Digital. The device post-processes THX Surround EX on the same chip as it decodes either DTS or Dolby Digital. Based on a 32-bit programmable SHARC DSP, the decoder claims to enable future A/V receivers, PC audio cards, and set-top boxes to process--in the same product--all of the leading audio algorithms.
