English 4-1-6 DTS Introduction 1. Introduction In a continuous effort to bring the finest cinematic surround effects to the consumers, Creative has partnered with DTS, Inc to integrate DTS-ES and DTS-Neo:6 into their Sound Blaster line of audio products. This paper will discuss the benefits of having these technologies and how to bring the ultimate entertainment experience out of them via the Creative software applications. 2. DTS-ES A new encoding scheme adopted by DTS that provides realistic home theatre experience through discrete 6.1 channel extended surround sound while still maintaining compatibility with existing 5.1 systems. This new DTS Extended Surround bitstream is available for DTS-encoded content on all media (CD, LD and DVD-Video) whenever the multichannel recordings are discretely mixed in 6.1. Audio data can be decoded through either an external decoder or now, Creative built-in decoder. When using a DVD-Video disc encoded with DTS-ES content, the audio mode has to be set to this format before playback begins. The setting is usually in the Main Menu Audio Setup section that will automatically be displayed when the disc is inserted. 2.1 Using Creative Built-in decoder Step 1: Device Control One of the most recent audio products that incorporate DTS technology is the Sound Blaster Live! 24bit integrated on motherboards.
