1. Introduction
This user guide explains the use and operation of the DTS-HD Master Audio Suite and DTS
Surround Audio Encoder.
1.1 DTS-HD Master Audio Suite
This suite consists of the DTS-HD Master Audio Suite Encoder, DTS-HD StreamPlayer, and DTS-
HD StreamTools. This software suite is designed for the professional audio user to easily create
DTS-HD™, DTS Digital Surround™ and DTS-HD Express™ encoded files using the Encoder
module, to verify and validate the encoded material using the DTS-HD StreamPlayer and to perform
various stream edits, for those cases where necessary, using a series of DTS-HD StreamTools.
The DTS-HD Master Audio Encoder is a software product capable of encoding the following:
DTS-HD encoded streams:
DTS-HD Master Audio™ - variable bit rate, bit-for-bit (lossless) encoded streams up to
7.1 channels with sample rates up to 96kHz and up to 5.1 channels with a sample rate of
192 kHz.
For 192 kHz material, DTS-HD Master Audio supports up to 5.1 channels
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio - constant bit rate (lossy) encoded streams at bit rates
up to 5.766 Mbps for Blu-ray Disc, with up to 7.1 channels from source files with
sampling rates up to 96 kHz.
Blu-Ray Secondary Audio Low Bit Rate (LBR) using DTS-HD Express encoding 1.0,
2.0, and 5.1 channels at bit rates from 24 kbps to 256 kbps.
Note: DTS-HD Master Audio (lossless) and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio encoded
streams each contain a core substream of type ‘DTS Digital Surround’ that is backward
compatible with all DTS Digital Surround decoding technologies in the market.
DTS Digital Surround
encoded streams for DVD-V, up to 6.1 discrete channels at 48 or
up to 6.1 channels with matrixed center surround (Cs) at 96 kHz sample rates, at bit rates
up to 1.5 Mbps.
Notes:
1. The input source material may be 16-bit or 24-bit resolution mono or stereo in ‘.wav’
‘.aif’ or ‘.aiff’ LPCM format.
The DTS-HD StreamPlayer is a software application capable of playback of all DTS-HD and DTS
Digital Surround audio streams as well as synchronizing the playback of audio to a video clip using a
QuickTime movie.
