DTS-HD DTS-HD is a new high-definition audio format that complements the high-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.
