ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

DTS (sound system)

Have you ever watched a movie and heard really cool sounds all around you? This is because of a special sound system called DTS. DTS stands for Digital Theater Systems, and it is a way to make sound in movies and videos even more exciting.

You know how when you hear something loud, like a big truck or thunder, it sounds like it's coming from far away? That's because the sound is coming from far away, and it takes a little while for it to reach your ears. DTS does something cool called "surround sound," where sounds come from all around you, just like in real life.

How does it work? Well, when people make movies, they record the sound of everything that happens. Then, they use DTS to make it sound like the sounds are coming from different places around you. They use special speakers that are in front of you, behind you, and even above you to make the sounds feel like they are all around you. It's kind of like being in a room where you can hear everything happening in different corners.

So, the next time you're watching a movie and you hear something cool, you can thank DTS for making it sound so amazing!
