| ### DTS Time Representation Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the international time standard that has largely replaced Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). The standard is administrated by the International Time Bureau (BIH), and is in widespread use. For all its internal processes, DTS uses opaque binary timestamps that represent UTC. You cannot read or disassemble a DTS binary timestamp. The DTS Application Programming Interface (API) allows other applications to convert or manipulate the timestamps, but they cannot be displayed. DTS also translates the binary timestamps into ASCII text for display on a client system. More: Absolute Time Relative Time ####
