Testing contract

Expected to pass
Scenario
Demux and decode the DTS Coherent Acoustics source to PCM, then measure duration and signal energy.
Expected result
A positive 0.7-second reference tone decodes with nonzero RMS and no truncated final frame; the container is treated as download-only.

What is a .dts file?

DTS is a framed perceptual audio bitstream used for multichannel cinema, disc, and media delivery. A stream carries sync words, frame headers, sample-rate and channel-mode information, and compressed audio blocks; byte order and padded variants mean a parser must inspect the bitstream rather than rely on the suffix.

How to use this file

Use a short example .dts file to test sync detection, header metadata, channel and duration reporting, unsupported-profile behavior, and decoder failure without autoplay or an assumption that every browser can play the codec.

How to use this file for testing

“Convert v2 DTS Coherent Acoustics Reference Tone” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Conversion testing, Audio analysis. The same content exported across many formats and linked as a group, so you can convert one and diff against the expected twin.

Documented properties for this file: DTS · 68,076 bytes. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.

Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such — expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.

Media fixtures are short and synthetic by design. Prefer waveform or transcript ground truth in the same group when measuring ASR, trim, upscale, or sync tools; do not assume broadcast-quality masters.
