CSS: Cinema Subtitling System. A system designed by DTS that provides DTS Access™ content.
DTS Access™: Group of delivery playback files that include subtitles, narration, and Rear
Window™. (Rear Window is a trademark of WGBH public broadcasting system in Boston.)
Subtitle: Projected text of on-screen dialog. Often this has been translated into a language different
than the original version.
Caption (“front captions”): Projected text on screen that contains both film dialog and sound
descriptions. This is also referred to as Open Caption.
Rear Window™ (“rear captions”): This system consists of a LED reader board (display) mounted in
the auditorium of the theater. It receives serial data from the CSS and displays caption text that is
projected onto individual reflectors rather than the screen.
Narration: This is a description of on screen action during feature playback. It is normally received
via an IR (Infrared) or FM (Frequency Modulation) device to a head set worn by an audience member.
CSP: Cinema Subtitle Projector is a custom designed video projector for use with the CSS Option
only.
EMA (External Masking Apparatus): A bracket that holds the CSP (cinema subtitling projector). Also
contains a special douser and masking system
2.2. Content Delivery
Most content is delivered on discs. Customers who have XD10s with the HD Video Option may make
arrangements with DTS to receive content via a network.
2.2.1. Types of DTS Discs
DTS theaters receive most content on CD-ROM discs. There are several types of discs.
1. DTS Soundtrack discs for feature films.
Soundtrack discs are issued by the film studios' distribution companies and must be returned with the
prints. Feature film soundtrack discs sometimes include trailers.
2. DTS Trailer discs. These discs only contain trailer soundtracks. Trailer discs are distributed by DTS
and do not have to be returned.
3. XD10 Video discs. These discs contain XD10 video content, playlist and schedule information. These
discs do not have to be returned.
4. DTS Access™ discs are issued by the film studios' distribution companies and must be returned with
the prints. Access discs may include any or all of the following and will only play when the XD10
has the CSS option:
• CSS subtitles or front captions (projected on the screen)
• “Rear” Captions (captions displayed at the rear of the theater and onto a “Rear
Window
TM”
display)
• Audio Description that describes action on screen.
The XD10 will only accept a disc made specifically for DTS cinema playback equipment. The
XD10 will reject consumer CD audio or DVD type discs.
2.2.2. DTS Cinema Media Network™
Customers with the High Definition Video Option may make arrangements with DTS to receive
content via the DTS Cinema Media Network™. If the XD10 is connected to the DTS Cinema Media
Network™, then no operator intervention is required to receive video content and configuration. All
