14. CSV File Import Supplement – Seamless Branching

Seamless Branching is a space-saving mechanism supported by Blu-ray Disc players, commonly used

when multiple versions of a film are included on a single disc. Instead of storing the entire film on the

disc several times, branch points are established within authoring to jump between extended and abridged

versions of scenes. For more information about Seamless Branching, please contact your authoring

system provider.

Overview

In order to mitigate audible anomalies when switching between dissimilar (non-contiguous) PCM

waveforms, the DTS decoder within players and AVRs will automatically insert a quick crossfade at each

branch point. To further avoid audible anomalies, DTS suggests that a specific encoding filter be

temporarily disabled at these points. Please note that disabling this filter will not affect the audio quality

or lossless capabilities (DTS-HD Master Audio) of the encoder.

When Seamless Branching has been enabled on the BITSTREAM tab, the DTS-HD MAS Encoder will

accept a CSV file containing branch point timecodes at which the encoder will temporarily disable the

above-mentioned filter. Stated simply, CSV (comma-separated values) is a file format that has columns

separated by commas and rows separated by newlines. Since the CSV file accepted by MAS only

utilizes one column, it will actually not contain commas, only newlines for each timecode value.

2. Single Clip or Use CSV Branch Points?

If the Seamless Branching feature will be utilized on a Blu-ray Disc, all encodings created for that disc

should use a Seamless Branching mode: Single Clip or Use CSV Branch Points.

As described above, the encoder must receive all branch points prior to encoding so that it can disable an

encoding filter appropriately. If an encode contains no specific branch points (e.g. an extended or

inserted scene), set the destination format to Blu-ray Disc Primary Audio on the AUDIO tab and enable

Single Clip within the Seamless Branching section of the BITSTREAM tab.
