	Digital Theater Systems makes move to consumer electronics - Corporate Focus Los Angeles Business Journal - Find ...
		Founded in 1990, DTS invented a digital audio system in which a film's sound and voice tracks are recorded and played back on two separate compact disks instead of directly on the celluloid print, as Dolby and other traditional sound systems do.
		It got early endorsements from Spielberg, the DreamWorks SKG cofounder, who used the system for "Jurassic Park," and from the studio that released it, Universal Studios--about to be part of General Electric Co. Universal bought and installed the system for 1,000 movie screens.
		Today, the system is installed in some 23,000 theater screens, second behind San Francisco-based Dolby's 40,000, according to US Bancorp Piper Jaffrey analyst Gene Munster.

	SoundStage! Network Home Theater & Sound -- Cinema Cynergy
		DTS (Digital Theater Systems): A discrete digital surround format with five full-range channels and one limited bandwidth low frequency effects channel similar to Dolby Digital, but using a higher bit-rate to transfer the audio data.
		This is the discrete digital audio format that is mandatory on all DVDs (which was referred to as AC-3 on laserdiscs), and is one of the major advantages that DVD has over analog sources such as VHS tape, in addition to the much higher picture quality.
		One thing that should be mentioned is that Dolby Digital EX uses analog decoding to extract the rear center channel so that even software that is not specifically encoded with EX can yield a rear center signal if there is a mono signal recorded equally on the left and right rear channels.

	Surrounded By Sound: Digital Home Theater Systems - Popular Mechanics
		The digital channels are discrete–not matrixed as in Pro Logic–so they can't interfere with each other or bleed from one channel to another.
		While Dolby Digital is making inroads in the prerecorded video arena, DTS is poised to introduce several laserdiscs (and DVD discs) with DTS-encoded soundtracks that include new versions of "Jurassic Park," "Casper" and "Apollo 13." DTS is, however, placing a lot of emphasis on multichannel music and the compact disc.
		Although Dolby Digital has more than a year's lead in bringing decoders to market, several companies are ready to introduce components that include DTS processors, and four have started shipping products.

		And since most VHS movies today utilize Dolby Pro Logic, this surround sound system allows you to hear the movie at home as it was intended in the theater.
		Developed to bring to you the most advanced film sound home system yet, Dolby Digital AC-3 has five main channels that cover the entire audible spectrum (20Hz to 20 kHz), as well as a LFE (Low Frequency Effect) channel with 20Hz to 120Hz coverage.
		Like Dolby Digital, DTS requires an encoded source, such as DVD, and a decoder to convert the digital signals to analog audio, which are then sent to a suitable home theater receiver and speakers.

		And the official answer is? "Nothing." The original acronym came from "digital video disc." Some members of the DVD Forum (see 6.1) tried to express that DVD goes far beyond video by retrofitting the painfully contorted phrase "digital versatile disc," but this has never been officially accepted by the DVD Forum as a whole.
		Digital devices that do nothing more than reproduce audio and video will be able to receive all data (as long as they can authenticate that they are playback-only devices).
		Digital recording devices are only able to receive data that is marked as copyable, and they must change the flag to "don't copy" or "no more copies" if the source is marked "copy once." DCPSes are designed for the next generation of digital TVs, digital receivers, and digital video recorders.
