What is a .DTS file?
DTS is a surround-sound audio format used in films and on Blu-ray.
- Did you know
- DTS launched in 1993, first heard in the cinema release of Jurassic Park.
- DTS stands for Digital Theater Systems, the California company founded by audio engineer Terry Beard whose backers included director Steven Spielberg.
- On LaserDisc a DTS soundtrack ran at about 1,411 kilobits per second, far above the roughly 384 kilobits of competing Dolby Digital, a higher bit rate DTS still emphasises today.
- The lossless variant, DTS-HD Master Audio, can reconstruct the studio master bit for bit and is a standard surround option on Blu-ray.
- Where Dolby Digital used the AC-3 codec, DTS built its rival on a coding scheme it called Coherent Acoustics.
