DTS

If you have a home theater system, you must be getting high fidelity images. However, your home theater is no good without a good surround sound format. Presently there are several sound formats available in the market- DTS is one of them. DTS stands for Digital Theater Systems and it provides the highest quality multi-channel surround sound.

More and more home theater systems, DVD players; Blu-ray, etc are incorporating the DTS sound format in their systems along with Digital Dolby. In fact, you can buy a DTS recorder, which will also be capable of decoding Dolby Digital sound format. To provide more benefits to the consumers more and more home theater manufacturers and audio system manufacturers are incorporating both Dolby and DTS decoder in their systems. You can find DTS in home theater, car audio, computers, game consoles, DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, and DVD-RAM.

The popularity of DTS audio can be gauged from the fact that there are more than 300 million DTS-licensed consumer electronics products worldwide. It is coming up with new technology to improve its sound format. Tracker DTS is a good example of their efforts. Tracker DTS introduced digital dual antenna technology in transceiver and this has made it the world-best selling transceiver.

Furthermore, DTS is also coming up with many good softwares to help bring the surround sound to our computers. Winamp DTS Plugin is one such example. This software is used for playing DTS-WAV files. DTS-HD Master Audio Suite software is the latest in town. It allows for audio encoding, decoding, quality control and stream management for Blu-ray discs, DVD-Video/Audio, and surround sound CDs.

Today we no longer look for surround sound just in our home theater systems or DVD players. Surround sound is so good that we expect to have it incorporated in all devices that have to do with audio. We can find DTS headphone, ipod, car audio, etc. So now, we can have surround sound when we are listening to any audio device via a headphone.

In the present scenario if you are buying a home theater system or a DVD player, you would not want to go for Dolby and DTS standalone decoder. You should have a player that can both play and record DTS and Dolby and other sound formats.

In the end, it can be said that DTS is here to stay and consumers can look forward to some great products from DTS. Furthermore, if you already have a DTS home theater, you can also buy the official DTS theatre plaque to go with it.
