Why object-based audio?ĭolby Atmos systems are designed to bounce height effects off your ceiling. So what is DTS doing to close the gap? What discs or hardware can support the format? Are there any major differences between the two? We visited the headquarters of DTS in Calabasas, California, to find out.
DOLBY AND DTS DECODER SOFTWARE
Software updates for compatible AV receivers combined with a handful of DTS:X-encoded Blu-ray discs means that people can finally hear its immersive soundtrack format. In April 2015, DTS outlined its competing object-based audio standard, DTS:X, and now the format is finally ready for the mainstream. And until now, it hasn't had any real competition. Appearing in cinemas since 2012, Dolby Atmos has also been increasingly popping up in people's homes in new AV receivers and Blu-rays. When it comes to the next generation of surround sound, DTS knows it's behind its competitor.
DOLBY AND DTS DECODER ANDROID
But just like Android versus iPhone or PlayStation versus Xbox, the default choice isn't always the best one for everyone. Dolby Atmos is well-established and quickly becoming the "Kleenex" of immersive. However, like most everything in the world of electronics, immersive audio is in the throes of a format war between the two competing standards: Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. It's designed to let you feel closer to the action than before with the help of height channels, which just like the name indicates, are speakers shooting sound upwards.
Whether you call it "immersive audio" or the more nebulous "object-based audio," there is a new type of surround sound coming to a home theater near you.
