D-Theater

Background
D-Theater is the certificate mark of D-VHS. D-Theater tapes consisted of pre-recorded home video D-VHS releases distributed around 2002 and 2004 with the last film released on the format being 20th Century Fox's I, Robot (the only 2005 release on the format). D-VHS/D-Theater tapes were special compared to traditional VHS and DVDs due to their capabilities in HD playback (4 years before HD-DVD and Blu-ray) at 720p and 1080i, as well as featuring Dolby Digital and sometimes DTS audio. D-Theater tapes were only released in the United States and were distributed by Fox, Universal (including DreamWorks), Artisan, Magnolia, and a few other companies.

(2002-January 31, 2005)
Logo: On a black background a blue light draws in a metallic "D". The D then moves to the left for a white flare to bring up "THEATER", with the characters increasing their size into an eastern perspective. Two diagonal lines then wipe in between the vertical sides of "THEATER", and all the components are metallic. The whole logo zooms into the screen.

Variant: On a D-Theater demo the logo zooms up and turns into a plain 2D logo. A disclaimer then fades in below.

FX/SFX: The lights and items being drawn in.

Music/Sounds: A laser-like sweeping sound, followed by a reverbing choir.

Availability: Appears only at the beginning of D-Theater tapes distributed across the US. D-VHS players are rare but can be obtainable on eBay.
