Welcome To SoundCode

SoundCode For DTS is a mastering
quality plug-in for encoding and
decoding DTS audio in Pro Tools
systems. DTS is a digital audio
compression technology developed
by DTS, Inc. It features discrete 6.1
surround sound at 48 / 44.1 kHz and
discrete 5.1 surround sound at 24-
bit, 96 kHz. It is used to decode
mono, stereo, and surround audio for
DVD-Video.
The SoundCode DTS Encoder Features:
• Faster than real time encoding.
• Writes .dts (padded), .cpt
(compact), and .wav file formats.
• Punch In/Out feature re-encodes
a portion or appends to an
existing DTS file.
• Writes WAV files formatted for
stereo PCM digital systems.
• Imports decoded audio or raw
data stream into Pro Tools
timeline.
• 5.1, 5.1 ES, 6.1 ES, and 96/24
surround encoding.
• Writes log file of all metadata and
preprocessor settings.

• Direct File Decode of DTS files
synchronized to Pro Tools
timeline and video.
• RTAS surround decoding
• AudioSuite non-real time

System Requirements
To use SoundCode For DTS, you
need the following system:
• A Digidesign-qualified Pro Tools
system running Pro Tools 6.9.X.
Pro Tools 7.0 or higher is
recommended to take advantage
of RTAS functionality on aux
tracks.
• Pro Tools HD is required for real-
time decoding that outputs more
than two channels.
Better Decoder Integration in Pro
Tools 7.0 or Higher
When using Pro Tools 7.0 or higher,
the SoundCode DTS Decoder
integrates better by featuring RTAS
decoding on Aux tracks in TDM
systems. If you use Pro Tools 6.9,
you must use the RTAS decoder on
a disk track that is the same stem
format that you are decoding to
