DTS, Inc. (originally Digital Theater Systems) is an American company that makes multichannel audio technologies for film and video. Based in Calabasas, California, the company introduced its DTS technology in 1993 as a competitor to Dolby Laboratories, incorporating DTS in the film Jurassic Park (1993).[3][4][5] The DTS product is used in surround sound formats for both commercial/theatrical and consumer-grade applications. It was known as The Digital Experience until 1995. DTS licenses its technologies to consumer electronics manufacturers.
DTS, Inc. was acquired by Tessera Technologies Inc. in December 2016[6] and combined under the newly created Tessera Holding Corporation. The combined company was renamed to Xperi Corporation in February 2017.[7]
