Nuendo Dolby Digital Encoder AC-3 Encoder for Nuendo

into Dolby Digital. Dolby Digital, also known as AC-3, is the most widely adopted audio

surround sound to millions of home theaters around the globe. AC-3 is based on an algorithm
that takes advantage of auditory masking and both intra- and inter-channel redundancy. This
technique guarantees both outstanding audio quality and bandwidth efficiency. Licensed by
Dolby Laboratories, the Nuendo Dolby Digital Encoder contains all of the features found in the
original Dolby Hardware.

Using the Nuendo DTS Encoder couldn't be easier. Seamless integration into the Nuendo export dialog
makes assembling DTS 5.1 files simple and straightforward. All routines are automated, you merely
need to specify the desired format anywhere between mono and 5.1 surround. The resulting DTS files

An integrated option to export as DTS WAV files allows the burning of encoded files to CD for playback
of a DTS stream via the digital output of any CD player. The Nuendo DTS Encoder will also create additional
discreet WAV files of the exported audio corresponding to the number of encoded channels and automatically
created new tracks in the Nuendo or Cubase project. As a result, Nuendo DTS Encoder allows the monitoring
of the encoded result on a per channel basis. The track(s) routed or panned to a certain surround channel will
be audible in the corresponding monitor file.
