DTS and Sharp Bring Superior Sound to a New Line of Network-Connected Televisions
CALABASAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
DTS,
Inc. (Nasdaq: DTSI), a leader in high-definition audio, announced an
alliance with leading consumer electronics manufacturer Sharp
Corporation. Sharp has integrated DTS high-definition audio technology
into its new line of network-connected smart televisions, released in
the first quarter of 2012. This alliance marks the first time a licensee
has made available DTS 2.0 and DTS 2.0 + Digital Out™ in televisions
capable of delivering superb surround sound and stereo playback for
digital content.
The collaboration between Sharp and DTS showcases an ongoing trend of
televisions evolving in the home entertainment hub as new technologies
are incorporated. These televisions deliver to the consumer a superior
entertainment experience with high-quality DTS encoded content.
"As digital media consumption continues to evolve, DTS is constantly
working to enhance the listening experience, regardless of the
platform," said Roy Law, president of DTS Greater China Region. "From
mobile phones to the latest TV innovations, our technologies create a
high-quality entertainment experience that adapts to the digital media
ecosystem and supports content delivery across multiple screens. DTS is

Sharp's new PRC-model smart televisions integrated with DTS
high-definition audio technology enable rich, superior audio to
accompany high-quality digital content. DTS 2.0 + Digital Out decodes
DTS encoded content for two-channel stereo playback directly from the
TV, turning the device into a home entertainment media hub and offering
an immersive audio experience without the additional requirement of a
digital media player or set-top box. DTS Digital Out also provides
compatibility with external devices, such as an AV receiver or home
theater system to deliver immersive surround sound for the ultimate
movie watching experience.
