Patent ID: 8433085

Claim:
A video and audio output system comprising: an audio output device; and a video and audio output device placed above the audio output device, for outputting an acoustic signal so as to localize a sound image of the acoustic signal at a predetermined position, wherein the audio output device comprises: an acoustic signal output control section for dividing the acoustic signal into a low-frequency-component acoustic signal in which a high-frequency-component is attenuated and a high-frequency-component acoustic signal in which a low-frequency-component is attenuated; a first sound image localization processing filter section for performing a sound image localization process on the low-frequency-component acoustic signal; a plurality of first loudspeakers for outputting a plurality of low-frequency-component acoustic signals which are outputted from the first sound image localization processing filter section; a second sound image localization processing filter section for performing a sound image localization process on the high-frequency-component acoustic signal; and a first communication section for transmitting, to the video and audio output device, a plurality of high-frequency-component acoustic signals which are outputted from the second sound image localization processing filter section, and the video and audio output device comprises: a second communication section for receiving the plurality of high-frequency-component acoustic signals which are transmitted from the audio output device; a plurality of second loudspeakers for outputting the plurality of high-frequency-component acoustic signals; and a video display section for displaying a video signal thereon, the low-frequency-component acoustic signal at least includes a frequency component of 1 kHz or lower, and the high-frequency-component acoustic signal at least includes a frequency component of 4 kHz or higher.
