(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070322/LATH036LOGO) SRS Labs is a Silver Sponsor of the HDTV Conference. Alan Kraemer, who has been the keynote speaker and presented at numerous industry conferences and has written several papers on the topic of audio, will present during the Thursday session titled, "Enhancing the HDTV Experience," taking place from 11:00 - 1:00 pm. This session will examine advances in digital audio technology and an emerging video certification for Flat Panel HDTVs. Panel suppliers, TV brands, industry associations and DisplaySearch analysts are expected to participate. Specifically, Mr. Kraemer will examine the latest digital audio surround sound technologies, including virtual surround sound techniques, as well as discuss how SRS audio technologies can reduce BOM (Bill of Material) costs and help overcome the physical limitations of small speakers. Based on two recent consumer research studies conducted by MarketTools and CEA, video and audio are the two most important attributes to consumers for their home entertainment system and influences the consumer's television buying decision. Ironically, as screen sizes increase and frame sizes get smaller it is becoming more and more challenging to provide quality audio due to physical design constraints and driver size limitations. The world's leading TV manufacturers identify SRS Labs as their audio partner of choice for overcoming the aforementioned limitations. Not only did Forward Concepts proclaim SRS Labs the world's number one audio post processing enhancement supplier (based on revenue), but among the top nine FPTV manufacturers reported by DisplaySearch, seven (Samsung, Sony, Sharp, LG, Panasonic, Hitachi, and Pioneer) feature at least one SRS audio technology to provide improved multi-dimensional sound enhancement.
