DTS-HD DTS-HD is a new high-definition audio format that complements the high- • Blu-ray Disc or HD-DVD discs encoded with
definition video found on Blu-ray Disc and HD-DVD discs. It is transmitted
using a DTS core with high-resolution extensions. Even when only DTS 5.1
surround sound is desired (or available, if the multizone system is in use), the
higher capacity of high-resolution discs serves up DTS at twice the bit rate
used on DVD-Video discs.
