We are using the VC-1 video compression format to ensure the best video quality and have chosen to use DTS-HD Master Audio to deliver superior sound quality that matches the HD video." Brian Towne, Senior Vice President, Consumer/Pro Division at DTS, commented: "StudioCanal is taking a leading position in the European roll-out of HD content. DTS-HD facilitates the process by requiring a single encode and producing a single bit stream. The backward compatibility of the format will also make it easy for consumers looking to adopt HD players and discs in to their home theatre system." A promotional HD DVD disc containing clips of the titles due for release and featuring DTS Stereo will be made available by StudioCanal at IFA 2006 in Berlin. DTS-HD Master Audio is part of the standards for the new Blu-ray and HD DVD next generation disc formats. It allows for a "bit-for-bit" identical reproduction of the original master soundtrack in up to 7.1 channels of discrete audio, therefore delivering sound quality that matches the clear and vivid images of high definition video. DTS-HD Master Audio is backward-compatible with all existing DTS surround sound equipment, and can deliver a significant increase in sound quality when consumers play the next generation discs through their current A/V audio equipment.
