DTS: Difference between revisions

*Rare for the normal version. In theaters, it was used until 1999 or 2000, when DTS received complaints about the trailer's exceptionally loud nature, and/or how it wasn't well-suited for quieter movies.

*The short version was only shown in theatres for the trailer's first year, such as ''Carlito's Way''. It was also seen on a 1993 Image Savant demo reel.

*It also appear on the 2003 Columbia TriStar Special Edition DVD of ''Spider-Man: The New Animated Series'', a rare appearance of the logo on a television release.

'''Availability:''' This trailer was made as a replacement for the previous trailer, but its alleged similarities to the first two [[Imagine Entertainment]] logos resulted in said company threatening to take legal action against DTS. The trailer was known to be seen in at least three theaters, both in St. Louis and Albuquerque, before it was pulled. The original audio for this logo managed to slip by the recall of the trailer, and has been spotted in audio files for the DTS audio CDs of 1996 releases such as ''Dragonheart'', ''Independence Day'', ''Mission: Impossible'', and ''Twister''.

'''Legacy:''' This was also the final logo used by DTS for use theatrically, as the company spun off its cinema division in 2008. For a brief time, the DTS name was licensed to this spinoff company, but was renamed to '''[[Datasat Digital Sound]]''' the following year. (the name began usage on films in 2009, though in-credit DTS logos stuck around for a while longer)

'''Logo:''' On a black background, a {{color|blue}} sound test/radiowave forms. Then, it turns into ocean and the background turns <span style="color:rgb(135, 206, 235)">sky blue</span>. We pan down into the ocean and we see {{color|green}} wavy staves resembling seaweed with music notes on them. Then, the camera pans with coral reef-like objects out of phone connectors, and many {{color|orange}}/{{color|gold|yellow}} DTS rings appears. One DTS ring zooms in and flashes with causing the words "<span style="color:rgb(0,0, 0);">dts</span>" to flash in one by one and "HD" flash as well. "Master Audio" then fade in.

'''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.

'''Availability:''' The short version can be seen on Blu-ray releases from [[CBS Home Entertainment]], such as older movies and TV shows released by [[Paramount Home Entertainment]] such as ''A Boy Named Charlie Brown'', the ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'' releases, and the first season of ''Star Trek: Discovery'', and the now-defunct [[CBS Films]] releases from [[Lionsgate Home Entertainment]] such as the 2017 release of ''Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life'' and the 2021 Blu-ray release of ''Finding You''. The extended version is rare.

'''Trailer''': We start with paint blobs suspended in mid-air. The blobs are pulled backwards, creating a large blob of paint on the background as the footage slows down. this repeats two more times, with the third time revealing that the large blob in the background is the DTS wordmark. The signature ring motif forms to the left of the logo. and everything rotates around, as light fills the screen, in a similar manner to the Searchlight Pictures logo. After the screen is filled with light, everything fades out.

'''Availability:''' Seen on newer Blu-ray and DVD releases such as the [[Lionsgate Home Entertainment]] releases of ''Good Will Hunting'', ''Warm Bodies'', ''Ender's Game'', ''The Hunger Games'' and its sequels, ''Divergent'', ''I, Frankenstein'', ''The Legend of Hercules'', the 2015 Blu-ray release of ''Terminator 2: Judgment Day'', ''Shaun the Sheep Movie'', ''Texas Rising'', ''Boo! A Madea Halloween'', and ''The Lighthouse'', among others. The variant listed above can be seen at the end of Diego Stocco's "Making Of" video about the logo.

'''Music/Sounds:''' For the long versions, first we hear a muffled set of street sounds, like passing cars, trucks and police sirens, representing all the sound that is encased in the cube. The cube explodes and a single note plays out, which transitions into the particles floating around. The Senior Manager of Professional Audio at DTS, Brian Slack, was responsible for designing many of the particles' sounds as they pass by the screen. The sounds play out during the entire particle segment, and then as the camera is about to zoom out and reveal the particles forming the logo, a stop-start note plays which grows louder before the camera zooms out. Some crystalized sounds play as the particles form the logo, a bass drop plays when the logo turns solid, and finally the DTS chimes play when the "dts" letters shine. A low note plays with an additional quiet high-pitched noise when the logo shines and zooms out.

'''Availability:''' Seen in theaters and recent DTS demo discs.

'''Availability:''' Can be seen on new Blu-rays, including the Japanese release of ''The Promised Neverland'' from 2021.
