DTS: Difference between revisions

*In some cases, the theatrical version of the trailer is used on home releases. Some of these releases (mostly from Sony) have the DTS text zooming out slightly after the first dissolve (primarily on films with 1.85:1 aspect ratios, but not always).

'''Music/Sounds:''' First, there is a laser sound leading into a boom mixed with the electricity zap, followed by a whoosh with another boom and zap, and then another whoosh with a boom and zap. This is followed by a loud phaser sound alongside an explosion, and there are twinkles heard alongside more whooshes, a whir when "DIGITAL" and "SOUND" appear, and a loud descending drone at the end.

'''Trailer''': On a black background, a water droplet appears and falls down. Then, a ripple appears and the DTS logo appears. The ripple then stops and "DIGITAL" and "SOUND" fades in. Then the URL fades in below.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Unknown. It could be the next logo's music or waterdrop sounds.

'''Trivia:''' It was believed that this might've possibly been the prototype to the rumored "lost" trailer entitled "Raindrops" above, which allegedly was first released around 1995. In reality, however, it was an entirely separate trailer, as seen in [https://web.archive.org/web/19970703065806/http://dtstech.com/animation.html these] [https://web.archive.org/web/19971210100352/http://www.dtstech.com/new-logo/new-media.html three] [https://web.archive.org/web/20000305235417/http://www.dtsonline.com/cinema/media.html links.] The logo first appeared on the company's website in 1997 and was toted as a brand new trailer. Despite attempts by DTS to make it a theatrical trailer, by 1999 it was being called on the company website an Internet-exclusive trailer.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Various industrial bass noises, such as a piano at the beginning, several whooshes, deep bass notes, and waterdrop noises.

'''Trivia:''' The website link at the end of the logo used to be the company's site, but eventually acquired/moved to the "dts.com" URL in mid-2005. The original URL now redirects to an unrelated business.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Several calm piano notes with a choir, followed by three more piano notes when each letter in "dts" shines. Composed by Walter Werzowa (known for creating the [[Intel]] jingle), with mixing done by Bill Varney, Steve Marlow, and Eric Martel.

'''Trailer:''' Many blue sparks fly around the screen, forming a 3D DTS logo. Later, one spark hits the DTS logo, making it 2D. While this happens, the URL address "www.dts.com" wipes in below the logo. This all happens on a black background.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Several whooshes, a deep drone, and a loud whoosh. This variant was known as "Sprite", and was intended as the "scope" version of the logo.

*A shorter version exists.

'''Music/Sounds:'''

'''Variant:''' There is an extended version, where the beginning shows one wave at first before many others form behind it and rumble, and the ocean scene pauses a bit before the camera pans down. The underwater scene is also extended as well, with things related to audio and music forming various sea life, including CD and mobile phone fishes and a whale made from microphones. Then, many colorful lights appear, explode and flashes. The rest of the logo plays like the shorter version. There is also a 3D anaglyph version of that variant.

'''Music/Sounds:'''

'''Variant:''' A variant also exists in which the DTS logo is formed in 2D, the logo doesn't rotate and the light doesn't appear, and there is a different background for when the logo is formed, with various blurry orange sparkles flying around in the background.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A three-chord sounder with splashing sounds throughout and sparkling notes on the third chord. It was composed by Diego Stocco, who explains the process behind the logo [https://www.behance.net/gallery/1327705/DTS-Sound-Signature here]. There is also a short documentary you can view [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhQntkY1Ank here] which shows the process of how Stocco composed the logo's soundtrack.

'''Trailer''': TBA.

'''Music/Sounds:''' TBA.

'''Variant:''' A variant exists with only the DTS logo on a black background with mechanical whirring, clicking and the DTS chime.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Horses galloping, cars racing through streets, fish swimming, birds chirping, grass rustling and the DTS chimes.  

'''Trailer:''' TBA

'''Music/Sounds:''' TBA
