DTS

DTS: Digital Theater Systems. In cinemas, DTS is a multichannel audio source
for synchronized film sound. A modified SMPTE time code is optically imaged
on the film itself, and the DTS processor uses this to synchronize the
soundtrack audio which is recorded in a compressed form on standard CD-ROM
media. The timecode modifications allow identifying data that ensures that a
certain film's soundtrack will only run with that film. Release-current
"trailer" soundtracks are also recorded on most film DTS disks and also on
separate trailer-only disks. DTS processors can hold 2 or 3 CDs to allow for
2-disk soundtracks and/or trailer disks. DTS uses a lighter compression
scheme than Dolby Digital for audio that is closer to the original master.

   * DTS is also a sound format available on some DVDs. This system uses a
     similar compression algorithm but does not require separate DTS CD-ROM
     media.
