DTS
DTS Digital Theatre System. A high quality digital surround sound compression format capable of carrying multiple channels of audio. While using perceptual encoding like many other systems, it uses much lower levels of compression. DTS claims that it first uses non-lossy compression techniques to reduce or eliminate the need for perceptual encoding. Many users consider that it produces higher quality sound than Dolby Digital. DTS sound tracks come on DVD encoded at either 768kb/s or 1,536kb/s. (Note, the 'k' here stands for 1,000, not 1,024). The principle advantage of DTS over Dolby Digital is the implementation of DTS in the cinema. Rather than the digital data being optically recorded onto the film itself, DTS audio is recorded on a CD. Special CD players attached to the cinema's film projector keep the audio and film synchronised by means of time sync signals on the film. The advantage lays in the fact that in distributing foreign language sound tracks, only the CD needs to be different for each language, not the film.
