encode method (changeable parameter) |
number of tracks after calculation | compatible or channel-/speaker-compatible with | confi guration | remarks |
1.0 Mono | 1 (C) | Mono | no spatial sound possible, no width-stagger in front area | |
2.0 Stereo | 2 (L, R) | Stereo | no defined spatial sound, width-stagger in front-area possible | |
2.0 Surround | 2 (L, R) | Stereo, Circle-Surround, Dolby-Surround | real encoding of the surround data but requires a decoder, backward-compatible with 2.0 Stereo and 1.0 Mono | |
3.0 Surround | 3 (L, R, S) | special stage before encoding in 2.0 Surround | no "real" soundmode; this setup allowes changes in the volumes of the resulting channels before next encoding step and therefor it makes the setup of a perfect 2.0 Surround encoded sound easier | |
4.0 Quadro | 4 (L, R, SL, SR) | Quadro, Aureal 3D, Environmental Audio, ... | encoding of the surround-channel into L and R (to Aureal 3D / Environmental Audio) requires an separate step | |
5.0 Surround | 5 (L, R, C, SL, SR) | 2/2 Dolby-Digital | encoding to a Dolby-Digital data stream requires a separate step | |
5.1 Surround | 6 (L, R, C, SL, SR, LFE) | dts, 2/3 Dolby-Digital | encoding to a Dolby-Digital or dts data stream requires a separate step | |
6.0 Surround | 5 (L, R, C, SL, SC, SR) | dts ES, Dolby Surround EX | encoding to a Dolby-Surround-EX or dts ES data stream requires a separate step; this encode method is available in AudioCutter Cinema XS only | |
6.1 Surround | 7 (L, R, C, SL, SC, SR, LFE) | dts ES, Dolby Surround EX | encoding to a Dolby-Surround-EX or dts ES data stream requires a separate step; this encode method is available in AudioCutter Cinema XS only |
