~ Upgraded Software Provides Dramatic Speed Increase and New Encoding Modes for Digital Delivery ~
AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS─ DTS, Inc. (NASDAQ: DTSI), a digital technology company dedicated to delivering the ultimate entertainment experience, is offering exhibitors an exclusive preview of the upcoming version of its popular audio software, DTS-HD Master Audio Suite™ v2.6 (MAS v2.6), on the IBC show floor (Stand 2.B50).
DTS-HD Master Audio Suite v2.6 adds a series of new encode modes, signifying a leap forward in the world of digital delivery services. Building on the success of DTS-HD Master Audio Suite tools in Blu-ray®, this version advances DTS-HD® technology in the digital download/streaming space, offering new stream types and additional bit-rates, including the bandwidth-adaptive DTS Express™ encode format.
“The new DTS Express encode modes provide a astoundingly excellent audio experience at low bit-rates that flex and scale to meet bandwidth constraints,” says Ronny Katz, Director, Professional Audio, DTS, Inc. “With DTS technologies integrated into content delivery ecosystems such as Sonic’s RoxioNow, and in preparation for the UltraViolet (formerly DECE) consumer launch, MAS v2.6 provides new capabilities to meet the changing needs of our customers.”
Another significant upgrade to DTS-HD Master Audio Suite v2.6 is the dramatic increase to encoding speed, clocking in at up to 48 times faster than real-time (based on 12 CPU cores running multiple simultaneous encodes). This new multi-processor speed increase combined with existing folder-based encoding, auto-import, and auto-verification features, make DTS-HD Master Audio Suite v2.6 one of the fastest and most efficient stand-alone audio encoding solutions available.
DTS-HD Master Audio Suite v2.6, is listed at $1495 and is scheduled to ship Q4 2010.
