5.4. DTS
DTS is the Digital Theater System and was first introduced in 1993 by Steven Spielberg in his
film “Jurassic Park”. Even now, this standard is more common in cinemas than in living
rooms. DTS is a 5.1 system. Therefore, as with Dolby Digital, the sound is split into six chan-
nels. There are countless speaker systems and sound cards which are DTS compatible. This is
made possible through software decoding. Even if the quality of DTS is unquestionably better
than that of Dolby Digital, it should be noted that no film appears only in DTS. This is because
Dolby Digital is more or less the standard for digital sound recording/reproduction, which is
not the case for DTS.
5.5. Dolby Digital EX
Dolby® Digital Surround EX™ supplements film soundtracks in Dolby Digital 5.1 by adding a
third surround channel which is reproduced by speakers directly behind the audience. This
rear surround channel works with the standard left and right surround channels in such a way
as to produce a more realistic sound. This means that audiences are drawn yet further into
the action.
