“Our object-base spec will have an element of height in the mix, which can be done either with speakers in the ceiling or high up.” “We can accommodate smaller rooms,” he said.

DTS’ chief marketing officer, Kevin Doohan, claimed theater owners can get to DTS:X with a lower-cost barrier to entry by starting with just a few additional speakers and a supported server (QSC and USL already offer this support). In recent years, Dolby (Atmos) and Barco (Auro) have been competing for immersive cinema-sound installations, which theater owners have been generally aiming at premium auditoriums. It plans to use the upcoming CinemaCon confab in Las Vegas to begin its push to bring DTS:X to movie theaters. The company first introduced DTS:X - the successor to DTS-HD - at January’s CES for the home market, reporting support from a wide range of consumer electronics makers as well as speaker manufacturers. Audio technology developer DTS aims to return to cinemas with its new object-based immersive sound system DTS:X.
