Bowie concert to be broadcast in DTS digital surround

The latest developments in DTS digital broadcast and digital cinema technology will be united in a unique 5.1 surround sound transmission of a live concert by David Bowie, from the Riverside Studios in Hammersmith, to cinemas across Europe and North America.
Broadcast live in 5.1-channel DTS 96/24 digital surround sound on September 8 in London, Paris, Munich and Zurich – and re-broadcast on September 15 in the US and Canada – the event will uniquely demonstrate DTS’ end-to-end solution for alternative E-cinema programming, by delivering the highest possible audio quality available.
DTS will be encoding the multi-channel audio feed at the concert venue, using its CAE-5 professional broadcast encoder. The DTS encoded signal will be fed to Tandberg Television MPEG2 encoding equipment for global satellite delivery coordinated by leading live cinema events organiser Quantum Digital, together with a consortium of technology partners around the world. The signal received at the designated cinema sites, using Tandberg Integrated Receiver Decoder devices, will be fed to DTS’ new XD10 Digital Cinema Media player, which will output the 96 kHz 24 bit-quality surround sound audio.
