Glossary: DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
July 14th, 2008 Posted in Glossary
From Wikipedia:
DTS (also known as Digital Theater Systems), owned by DTS, Inc., is a multi-channel digital surround sound format used for both commercial/theatrical and consumer grade applications. It is used for in-movie sound both on film and on DVD.
Fun Fact:
One of the company’s initial investors was film director Steven Spielberg, who felt that theatrical sound formats up until the company’s founding were no longer state of the art, and as a result were no longer optimal for use on projects where quality sound reproduction was of the utmost importance.
