Hello colleagues,
I had a talk today with a senior cinema technician.
We got into the discussion about Dolby Digital vs DTS when running 35mm film.
He was preferrable to Dolby Digital for mainly practical reasons. (no need to mess with discs etc.)
How also suggested that he had seen a general issue with DTS that it ususally went in and out of sync during a typical feature quite a few times. Not in a big way, but just slightly so he was disturbed by not seeing lip-sync 100% throughout a feature. He also pointed out that he never had seen a sync-testfilm from DTS.
After giving it some thought, I found it odd if that was indeed the case that DTS did not offer sync-testfilm.
I must admit that I have not seen or been bothered with DTS going in and out of sync on a 35mm feature. I have been running DTS for over 20 years...
What are your views on this topic? Have you noticed these issues on a correct and healthy installation?
