DVEO Encodes Dolby Digital with Minnetonka Audio
Minnetonka Audio Provides SurCode for Dolby Digital 5.1 Technology to DVEO
MINNETONKA,
MN - Minnetonka Audio Software, Inc., a leader in production software for motion
picture, broadcast surround sound and consumer electronics applications,
announced today that DVEO, a provider of professional broadcast quality
subsystems since 1982, has entered into an OEM agreement to license SurCode for
Dolby(r) Digital 5.1 encoder and decoder technology from Minnetonka Audio
Software.
SurCode for Dolby Digital 5.1 creates fully compliant Dolby
Digital AC-3 files from multichannel WAV or AIFF sources. As a Dolby-certified
product, the encoded audio files are compatible with all Dolby Digital-branded
decoders, in either software or hardware versions. DVEO, the broadcast division
of Computer Modules, Inc., has licensed the OEM version of SurCode for Dolby
Digital as an option for their MultiStreamer(tm) and MPEG Gearbox product
families of broadcast quality multichannel MPEG-2 to H.264 streaming
transcoders.
"We are proud to have DVEO as our newest OEM partner," said
Eric Jorde, North American Business Development Manager for Minnetonka Audio.
"DVEO needed to add Dolby Digital encoding to their powerful video transcoding
products and they chose Minnetonka Audio to meet this requirement. This
agreement creates a complete solution for standards-compliant video
streaming."
The MultiStreamer and MPEG Gearbox transcoders capture
various video formats and send multiple simultaneous IP streams to iOS, CDNs,
and remote video capture devices. DVEO will enhance their transcoders by
offering a reliable solution for converting audio files to AC-3, so they chose
SurCode for Dolby Digital 5.1 OEM.
"Minnetonka Audio is a
well-established audio company with an excellent reputation," stated Scott
Grizzle, Product Manager for DVEO. "We are very happy to license their plug-ins
and SDK, which enable best-of-class encoding. MultiStreamer and MPEG Gearbox
customers now have the option of transcoding their audio into high quality AC-3
via SurCode for Dolby Digital 5.1."
DVEO will demonstrate the new SurCode
for Dolby Digital integration at the upcoming NAB show in Las Vegas. For more
