What is Scheduling (a.k.a. Smoothing or Flattening)?

Scheduling can look ahead in a DTS-HD Master Audio file, take the highest peaks, and buffer them into areas with lower bit rates — hence “smoothing/scheduling/flattening” the encoded file. This frees up peak bandwidth without losing any data. Currently, scheduling is enabled in select authoring systems. The PBR (Peak-Bit-Rate) Analysis graph function, found in DTS-HD Master Audio Suite, displays what the peak bit-rate of DTS-HD Master Audio streams will be after scheduling.
