LSI Logic is First Merchant Chip House to License Digital Theater System Technology MILPITAS, Calif., Sept. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- A new DVD (digital video disk) decoder chip that can output DTS (Digital Theater Systems) surround data streams, has been introduced by LSI Logic (NYSE: LSI). The new L64021C chip uses DTS technology that enables consumer electronic manufacturers to develop consumer DVD players that accurately play back movie soundtracks encoded with DTS Digital Surround. LSI Logic is the first merchant semiconductor manufacturer to license this technology from Digital Theater Systems, Inc., the leading supplier of digital sound for motion pictures, including blockbuster films such as "Jurassic Park" and "Titanic." This DTS system is based on an encode/decode specification capable of delivering 5.1 channels of up to 24-bit/96K audio. The L64021 decoder sends DTS formatted audio output through the Sony-Philips Digital Interface (SPDIF) for decoding in a separate audio receiver. A new generation of DVD decoders from LSI Logic, which will process DTS Digital Surround on-chip, will also be available in 1999.
