SDDS

SDDS (Sony Dynamic Digital Sound) is a digital film format that utilizes in its complete form five screen channels (instead of the usual three) plus stereo surround tracks and an LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) track. The optical digital information is printed outside the sprocket holes on the print.

First used in its final format in 1994 for City Slickers II.

The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia acknowledges Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live and gives respect to their Elders both past and present.
