Minnetonka announces SurCode for Dolby E 2.1

Minnetonka Audio Software Inc has announced the 2.1 release of its SurCode for Dolby E family of software encoders and decoders, as well as version 2.0 of its SurCode for Dolby E Stream Player which has been purpose-built for Apple's Final Cut Pro.

SurCode 2.1 for Dolby E encoder and decoder now embraces all of Avid's professional applications with enhanced Dolby E capabilities, while retaining complete interoperability with legacy Dolby E hardware. Both 32- and 64-bit versions of Mac OS and Windows are supported.

The SurCode for Dolby E suite supports Avid's Pro Tools, Media Composer, NewsCutter and Symphony product lines, with an AudioSuite encoder/decoder and an RTAS decoder. SurCode for Dolby E 2.1 also acknowledges Apple's Final Cut Pro, with an Export plugin for FCP 6 and 7.

New to the software is a time saving Mixdown feature for Media Composer, Symphony and NewsCutter. This allows a user to apply the RTAS decoder in a ‘faster-than-real time’ capacity to a multichannel bus, which not only decodes the audio but also automatically creates a multichannel track and prints the decoded PCM audio to that track.

Meanwhile, the 2.0 AU version of the SurCode for Dolby E Stream Player adds support for Final Cut Pro, and is available separately or bundled with the full SurCode for Dolby E Encoder and Decoder. No audio output reconfiguration is required, and the software also works with Media Composer, NewsCutter and Pro Tools, as well as qualified VST hosts.

Version 2.1 of SurCode for Dolby E Encoder and Decoder and version 2.0 of SurCode for Dolby E Stream Player are available as free upgrades for existing license holders.
