UltraViolet to Deliver DTS Surround Sound

Posted December 11, 2012 05:44 PM by Jeffrey Kauffman

DTS, Inc. has just announced that several leading content solution providers, including Digital Rapids, Elemental Technologies, and Rovi, now support DTS Express™ surround sound for creation of content in the UltraViolet Common File Format (CFF). DTS Express, part of the DTS-HD family of audio solutions found on nearly all Blu-ray Disc movies, is fully optimized for digitally delivered content, providing a high-quality immersive surround sound experience with the UltraViolet CFF.

DTS Express is a high performance adaptive bit rate technology that delivers an impressive cinematic surround sound experience from content, whether streamed or downloaded. With the ability to adapt to bit rate changes without audio dropouts, clicks or pops, as noticed with competing audio solutions, DTS Express shines when bandwidth is limited and network conditions fluctuate.

DTS Express provides:
• Constant bit-rates from 64 kbps (2 Channel) and up
• 5.1 channels from 160 kbps to 512 kbps
• Supports up to 7.1 channels from 288 kbps to 768 kbps
• Adaptive bit rate capability (without audio anomalies)
• Backwards compatibility with all legacy products via the DTS real- time transcoder

DECE's UltraViolet platform gives consumers greater flexibility in how and where they collect, share and enjoy movies and TV shows. Once a movie or TV show has been added to their UltraViolet collection, users will have options to stream it on most Internet-connected devices, download it for offline viewing, or play it back on a disc. Because UltraViolet offers so many viewing options, users have greater freedom to choose where they want to watch—whether it's on a mobile device, computer, smart television, game console, etc.
