The Nuendo DTS Encoder incorporates the DTS Coherent Acoustics audio compression algorithm.
With DTS being one of the world's leading surround formats, it is good to know that encoding Nuendo
or Cubase projects to the DTS format is only a few mouse clicks away. As one of the world?s leading
surround formats, DTS is featured on over 20,000 movie screens worldwide as well as countless home
theater, PC and game console products and 5.1 Music, DVD-Audio and Video discs.
 
Product Highlights:
Variety of formats from mono up to 5.1 surround
44.1 and 48 kHz and 24 Bit supported
DTS signal as a .wav file ready to burn a 5.1 mix to CD
Contains license for DVD Video and CD productions
Compatible with Nuendo and Cubase
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
are placed in the directory of your choice, ready for you to begin the authoring stage.
 
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.
