How is SurCode for DTS-HD different from DTS-HD Master Audio Suite?
SurCode for DTS-HD, by Minnetonka Audio Software, is an encoder plug-in for Apple® Compressor, and a decoder add-on for QuickTime™. You must have a compatible version of Final Cut Studio or Logic Studio in order to use SurCode for DTS-HD. The DTS-HD Master Audio Suite (MAS) consists of three stand-alone software applications: the DTS-HD Encoder™, DTS-HD StreamPlayer, and DTS-HD StreamTools. MAS does not require host software to run and is targeted at those creating more advanced BD features, such as seamless branching, picture-in-picture mixing (Bonus View), 96 kHz and 192 kHz encodes, and 7.1 channel encodes. Additionally, MAS can run on both Mac and Windows operating systems.
