DTS Coherent Acoustics provides a range of audio codecs supporting television, radio and internet broadcasting. Solutions span the range from low bit rate systems providing spectrum efficiency and cost savings for terrestrial broadcasters to high bit rate lossless providing studio master quality over optical fibre networks and everything in between.
DTS broadcast solutions also support industry standard codecs in addition to proprietary solutions and offer a wide range of audio processing algorithms for deployment in head-end and customer premises equipment. DTS also licenses technology to industry partners to incorporate within their equipment, further extending the breadth and depth of broadcast support.
DTS Coherent Acoustics offers technology solutions for terrestrial (DVB-T), satellite (DVB-S), cable (DVB-C), Video on Demand, and IP deployment.
DTS has, since its inception, been associated with the highest quality audio. The DTS brand is recognized and sought out by consumers, through cinema, DVD and now Blu-ray, as providing the highest quality experience. As broadcasters seek to differentiate their services, audio quality is a recognized tool. The DTS brand is a useful and recognized quality indicator, well understood by consumers. At higher bit rates a number of independent listening tests, including the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), have judged DTS Coherent Acoustics to be transparent – i.e. no degradation of quality results at medium to high bit rates.
DTS is a defacto standard in home A/V products, ensuring that practically all audio-video receivers and home theatre in a box (HTIB) systems incorporate a DTS decoder. The mandatory adoption of DTS in Blu-ray Disc (BD) ensures that DTS will remain the highest quality codec element in the consumer electronic spac,e and expand the current 120 million devices in the market.
One of the key architectural choices for DTS broadcast technology is the ability to offer system upgrades. The set top box architectures have been designed to allow upgrades to occur over the network by the transmission of new software upgrades containing new or improved DTS functionality.
DTS Coherent Acoustics emission solutions, as implemented by third party vendors, fully interoperate with commonly used contribution and distribution schemes and offer seamless integration with LPCM systems, SDI, HDSDI, Dolby E and others. In addition, these solutions also fully interoperate with existing metadata including:
• Dialog normalization
• Dynamic range control
• Downmix
