About DCS (Digital CinemaSound)

Sound fields with DCSmarks use DCS technology.

DCS is the name of the surround technology for home theatres developed by Sony. DCS uses the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) technology to reproduce the sound characteristics of an actual cinema studio.

When played at home, DCS creates a powerful theatrical effect that mimics the artistic combination of sound and action as envisioned by the movie director.
