'''Trailer:''' On a black background, a giant, gold optical disc (which is meant to represent a CD, but can also be interpreted as a Laserdisc or DVD) zooms out. When it stops, the gray word "the" (set in the Microgramma font) zooms close and then moves back. The stylized blue word "digital" does the same, followed by a silver bar rectangle reading "experience" (also in Microgramma) that flies out. After the logo forms, it explodes into particles until the text "dts" appears, followed by a blue box behind it and an inward trail effect appearing within the text. At the top of the screen is the orange text "THIS THEATRE FEATURES" (in the Serpentine font). Finally, the words "DIGITAL" and "SOUND" (in the Optima font), both in white, zoom out above and below the box, respectively.

'''Trivia:''' Unlike [[Dolby Digital|Dolby]] and [[THX]], DTS didn't actually release this trailer as a separate reel for projectionists to play before a film. Instead, it was included in the first reel of films that were originally mixed in DTS audio. However, in the late 1990s, when it was agreed upon that companies should use all three sound formats for their films to avoid competition, a separate reel with this trailer was made.

'''Audio:''' A laser sound leading into a boom mixed with an 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:''' 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.

'''Trailer:''' We see a bunch of sparks passing by. Then a lot of other yellow and orange sparks come in and fly in all directions, making a really colorful composition, and finally folding into a new DTS logo looking like a four-lined Mobius band. As they fold, metallic words also appear right to the logo, reading "dts" with a "Digital Surround" byline.

'''Trailer:''' The trailer starts with a stampede of horses galloping towards the horizon. The camera then flips 180 degrees to a car racing through traffic, to which another car jumps off the bridge into the water below. Upon entering the water, the camera flips once more to show some paper mache angler fish swimming. The angler fish lights then turn into fireflies, as the water fades to grass. The camera then pans up to a sunset with the DTS logo in the sky, that then "powers up" with the byline of "Listen" below it as the DTS chime plays.

'''Trailer:''' On a dark purple gradient background, we see various shapes falling down, more specifically an orange shape formed by two opposite lines, and two half-circles, one blue and one purple. There's also an orange half-circle. Two shapes then cris-cross through the screen, transitioning into an orange "3" in a stylized font and two half-circles, one blue and one purple, spinning into position, with the 2020 DTS logo in white between the circles, forming a 30. The text "Dedicated to Sensational" in white appears next to the symbol.

'''Variant:''' The end of the same video includes the DTS 30th logo made out of amber (the material used to store Dino DNA from prehistoric mosquitoes), in the same style as the ''Jurassic World: Dominion'' logo.
