SurCode for Dolby(TM) E provides easy integration of Dolby E elements into existing workflows on a wide variety of industry-leading audio workstations. Linear PCM, with complete metadata support, can be encoded and decoded in real time and in the background at faster than real time speeds with convenient, familiar, cross-platform plug-ins.

Version 2.0 of SurCode for Dolby(TM) E brings a fivefold increase in encoding speed thanks, in part, to in-depth utilization of multi-threaded execution on all platforms. To further broaden RTAS, AudioSuite and VST support, a Final Cut Pro Export Decoder and AudioSuite Decoder has been added to the roster. Maintaining up to the minute platform parity, both SurCode for Dolby E Encoder and Decoder now also support the recently released Pro Tools 10 and Apple's Mac OS 10.7 Lion.
