DTS (Sound System)

-

DTS (Digital Theater Systems) is a digital surround sound format that is used in the film and home theater industries. It is designed to provide a high-quality audio experience by using multiple channels of audio to create a more immersive and realistic soundstage.

The DTS format uses a multi-channel audio coding technique that encodes audio tracks into multiple channels, such as left, center, right, and surround. This allows for a more realistic and immersive sound experience, as the sound can be placed in specific locations within the soundstage, creating a sense of depth and dimensionality.

DTS is primarily used in theaters for movie soundtracks, but it is also found in home theater systems, as well as on DVD, Blu-ray, and streaming media. DTS audio tracks are often included as an alternative to the more common Dolby Digital format on these media.

DTS has several different codecs such as DTS-HD Master Audio and DTS:X, which are designed to deliver a high-quality audio experience with a high bitrate. They are used in home theaters and cinemas to provide a high-quality surround sound experience that is similar to that of a movie theater.

DTS audio is also used in video games, providing an immersive surround sound experience, especially in action and adventure games.

In summary, DTS is a digital surround sound format that uses multiple channels of audio to create a more immersive and realistic soundstage. It's mainly used in film and home theater industries, but it's also found in various media, and it's a popular choice.

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is the name for audio compression technologies developed by Dolby Laboratories. Originally named Dolby Stereo Digital until 1994, except for Dolby TrueHD, the audio compression is lossy. The first use of Dolby Digital was to provide digital sound in cinemas from 35mm film prints; today, it is now also used for other applications such as TV broadcasts, radio broadcasts via satellite, DVDs, Blu-ray, etc.
Dolby Digital Surround EX
It provides an economical and backward-compatible means for 5.1 soundtracks to carry a sixth, center-back surround channel for improved localization of effects. The extra surround channel is matrix encoded onto the discrete left surround and right surround channels of the 5.1 mix, much like the front center channel on Dolby Pro Logic encoded stereo soundtracks. The result can be played without loss of information on standard 5.1 systems, or played in 6.1 or 7.1 on systems with Surround EX decoding and added speakers. Dolby Digital Surround EX has since been used for the Star Wars prequels on the DVD versions and also the remastered original Star Wars trilogy. A number of DVDs have a Dolby Digital Surround EX audio option.

                                In post-production, the process of film editing and video editing, a cut is an abrupt, but usually trivial film transition from one sequence to another. It is synonymous with the term edit, though "edit" can imply any number of transitions or effects. The cut, dissolve and wipe serve as the three primary transitions. The term refers to the physical action of cutting film or videotape, but also to a similar edit performed in software; it has also become associated with the resulting visual "break". Types of Cuts : 1. J-cut and  L-cut 2. A Match cut 3. A jump cut 4. Cutaway 5. A cross-cut/Parallel editing 6. Cutting on action •An L-cut and the J-Cut : A J-cut and L-cut are film editing techniques that involve the use of overlapping audio in order to create a smooth transition between two shots. A J-cut refers to a transition where the audio from the next shot starts before the corresponding visual is shown on scre

Advance filmmaking DI (Digital Intermediate), DCI (Digital Cinema Initiatives), DCP (Digital Cinema Package)

What is DI?  DI stands for Digital Intermediate, which is a post-production process where the original film or video footage is scanned and converted into a high-resolution digital format. This allows for color correction, visual effects, and other adjustments to be made to the final image before output to a film print or digital distribution format. For example, a movie shot on 35mm film might undergo a DI process in which the film is scanned at 4K resolution and then color graded to adjust the overall look and feel of the film. Special effects such as compositing and visual enhancements can also be added. The final output is then used to create the film prints or digital distribution master copies. An example of a film that underwent a DI process is the movie "The Martian" directed by Ridley Scott and released in 2015. The film was shot on 35mm film, but during the DI process, the footage was scanned at 4K resolution and then color graded to create the desired look and feel
