Nuendo Dolby Digital Encoder AC-3 Encoder for Nuendo

format for both cinemas and today's DVD-V, making it the number one choice for delivering
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
