DTS Demonstrates DTS-UHD Decoder Using Single-Chip Audio DSP at Consumer Electronics Show

DTS Demonstrates DTS-UHD Decoder Using Single-Chip Audio DSP at Consumer Electronics Show DTS-UHD audio decoder enables soundbar, HTiB and AVR manufacturers to bring the advanced features of object-based audio to the consumer market

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- CES (Booth #9839) DTS, Inc. (Nasdaq: DTSI), a leader in high-definition audio solutions and audio enhancement technologies, today announced its first demonstration of the new DTS-UHD decoder on a single-chip, high-performance audio DSP from Cirrus Logic at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

DTS-UHD is the first object-based audio format designed for consumer delivery. Object-based audio brings enhanced realism through more accurate spatial rendering, height audio elements, and customizations that adapt to any speaker layout. In addition to rendering object-based audio content, DTS-UHD supports complete compatibility for playback of DTS channel based content, providing the best audio experience from any content featuring DTS audio coding.

DTS-UHD Benefits:

Environmentally compensated audio rendering allows consumers to hear audio directionality and dimensionality more precise than ever before possible

Object control enables consumers to interact with key objects within the audio mix and adjust them to preference

Customized rendering designed for arbitrary speaker layouts enables consumers to adapt their AV system to their own home environment rather than pre-determined speaker layouts

We see object-based audio playing a large role in the future of our industry, and are excited to be working with Cirrus Logic to demonstrate their powerful quad-core audio DSP with the capabilities of decoding object-based audio content delivered in the DTS-UHD codec, said Joanna Skrdlant, senior director, IC solutions licensing at DTS. Many of our licensees rely on Cirrus to provide solutions that allow their products to take advantage of DTS audio codecs. Providing licensees with access to the DTS-UHD decoder will allow them to quickly bring to market products capable of delivering new levels of immersive sound enabled by object-based audio.

AVR, HTiB and soundbar licensee partners of DTS that utilize Cirrus Logic quad-core audio DSPs will be able to license the DTS-UHD decoder into their product designs beginning Q2 2014.
