Easy, Flexible Workflow: File Based or Tape Based

Complete backwards and forwards compatibility with HDCAM SR decks and Dolby E hardware. 

SurCode for Dolby E is available for Pro Tools workstations and provides faster than real-time Dolby E encoding directly from your Pro Tools timeline. If you need to integrate Dolby E into an existing tape based workflow, SurCode for Dolby E Decoder can directly decode Dolby E streams from your Pro Tools timeline or from a live AES/EBU input feed from your deck. You can also lay back Dolby E assets to tape while using SurCode for Dolby E Decoder as a live input confidence monitor for real-time Dolby E decoding. Encode Dolby E streams as 16, 24 or 32 bit .wav files from Pro Tools to guarantee tape deck compatibility. These files can also be two-mono or a single stereo interleaved export.
