DTS:X Features
From Sonic Immersion to Interactivity



Object-Based Audio
An audio object is the combination of the waveform where captures the audio, and metadata which represents the spatial location in which the object should be heard.
Audio objects free content from specific speaker layouts for optimal listening.

This means the same DTS:X content will sound great whether it's rendered on stereo or a fully immersive surround sound system.

MDLP

Works With All DTS Content
DTS will playback all DTS formats including DTS Digital Surround and DTS-HD Master Audio.

DTS:X bitstreams are backward-compatible with older DTS AVRs and sound great.

DTS has a 93% market-share of the top 100 Blu-ray titles in 2014, and is expected to continue the trend into the next generation of Blu-ray.

Flexible Home Theater Layouts

DTS:X is about unbound sound. It will work on any speaker layout, including up-firing speakers, but these are not required.

DTS:X is fully capable of working with any and all speaker layouts.

MDLP

Personalize It
DTS:X brings new levels of immersion and interactivity to the listening experience.

Unlike channel-based audio, you will be able to personalize your audio experience. For example lift the dialog out from the background sounds when you want clarity and experience a more personal entertainment experience.

Flexible
One of the biggest benefits of DTS:X is the ability to render audio perfectly across any type of speaker layout, from hundreds of speakers down to headphones. Because DTS:X doesn't require any specific speaker layout, you can arrange your home theater system however you want.

MDLP

Adapts to Your Setup
For a fully immersive experience, we recommend a speaker layout that includes height to experience a whole new level of immersion.


DTS:X is a departure from channel-based audio by leveraging audio objects. Object audio enables optimized playback on any speaker layout, with any number of speakers from two to two hundred.

MDLP

Lossless Quality

DTS:X supports lossless encoding, preserving fidelity to deliver a pristine listening experience.

In situations where bit-rate is of high concern, DTS:X can also operate in a high-quality lossy mode.

Audio quality is the number one concern at DTS.

DTS:X is based on discrete, lossless coding of audio objects.

Awesome
Be prepared - the improved immersion and heightened realism of DTS:X creates the most lifelike, multi-dimensional audio

experience ever, making horror movies scarier, comedies more laugh-out-loud, and car chase scenes even more intense.
