Minnetonka Audio Software SURCODE-MLP

Meridian Lossless Packing (MLP) is an encoding system designed to compress high-resolution audio with bit-for-bit accuracy. Unlike the perceptual, or lossy audio date reduction systems used in DVD-Video authoring (Dolby Digital, DTS), MLP guarantees not to alter the final decoded signal in any way.

Why encode? MLP has two main benefits:

• It minimizes the size of the compressed file,allowing a larger amount of audio to be stored on the DVD-A disc.
• It will reduce the maximum instantaneous peak data rate. This is needed toget the 13.82Mbps data rate of six channel surround 24 bit/96kHz PCM audiounder the 9.6Mbps limitation of DVD.

ReBit, an exclusive feature only found in SurCode's MLP encoder, enables users, in extreme cases, to avoid the necessity of re-mastering their material in order to pass through the MLP encoding process.

• Licensed MLP encoder
• Accepts any 6 .wav or .AIFF files
• Creates MLP-encoded files to use with your DVD-Audioauthoring software
• Lossless encoding ensures bit-for-bit audio quality,maintaining the most pristine audio
• Compatible with Windows XP
