Background
Cinema Digital Sound was the first digital sound format for theatrical film releases, developed by Eastman Kodak and Optical Radiation Corporation. CDS replaced the analogue audio tracks on 35mm and 70mm prints with 5.1 discrete audio (though not all films used all 5.1 channels). The tracks were encoded with CDS. The digital information was printed on the film, similar to Dolby Digital and Sony Dynamic Digital Sound; however, CDS lacked an analog backup in 35mm and a magnetic backup in 70mm, and as a result, if the digital information were damaged in some way, there would be no sound whatsoever. This, along with CDS' other shortcomings, led to its early demise. Ten films ultimately used CDS: Dick Tracy, Days of Thunder, Flatliners, Edward Scissorhands, The Doors, Hudson Hawk, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, For the Boys, Final Approach and Universal Soldier.
Logo (June 15, 1990?-July 10, 1992?)
 | This logo is currently missing in action. Please do not add reconstructions of the logo if any exist, as they are likely not accurate to the actual logo. Additionally, do not attempt to add a finalized description of the logo until it has been found in its entirety. |
Visuals: All that's known of this trailer is the few frames with a black background with a black/lavender gradient stripe with white text reading "Cinema Digital Sound" in it. Above is "The Following Presentation Will Surround You In", and below is "Six Discrete Channels Of Crystal Clear Digital Sound".
Technique: Unknown, but from the looks of it, it was possibly still, or it had 2D animation.
Audio: Unknown.
Availability: The only solid evidence of this trailer's existence is a picture of someone holding a 70mm strip with a few frames visible and light reflecting off of the strip. It is known to have appeared before screenings of CDS-encoded films. It may still exist in the hands of private collectors. It possibly debuted before theatrical prints of Dick Tracy and was possibly last seen before theatrical prints of Universal Soldier.
