The rear speakers in a surround system reproduce the movie sound effects that physically occur behind the listener. More significantly, they?re also used to create atmosphere and ambience which helps to envelop the audience in the on-screen action. In a cinema, these surround effects are often more powerful as multiple rear speakers are used in the rear of the auditorium. In a home cinema, limited space may not allow the use of more than two or three rear speakers. This is where OminiCast comes in. The technology uses reflected, non-directional sound to create the same effect experienced in a cinema with multiple rear speakers. Inside an OmniCast rear speaker, the woofer and tweeter are positioned so that they face upwards. A diffusion board is mounted in front of the tweeter to deflect the sound uniformly over a wide area. The overall effect is surround sound that is expansive both horizontally and vertically delivering an enhanced effect over a broad area. It ensures that all listeners experience pure, dynamic surround sound with amazing acoustic imaging

This allows you to connect the portable to a digital surround sound processor so that you can take advantage of a movie with a Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS 5.1 soundtrack. A thin fibre optic cable is needed to connect the two.

The best Stabiliser system on the market, using two gyro sensors, operating 500 times per second, for detecting movement in both the horizontal and vertical axis. Image stabilizing is also possible even during fast zooming. As this is not a digital mode the picture is not affected by its use, allowing far superior picture quality.
