2. Overview

There are three components to the Pro Series Surround Encoder system,
Pro Packer, Pro Encoder, and Pro Encrypter utility.

Important:

All audio files to be encoded must first be processed using the

Pro Packer.

Start with the Pro Packer

The purpose of the Pro Packer is to bring all the source audio files together into a
single file. The Pro Packer checks the length of the files and the sample rate, to
ensure that you are supplying the encoder with compatible source files.

See

Using the Pro Packer, section 3.

Important:

Open the DTS Encoder first,

only

if there are files that have

already been packed.

If you choose Pack and Encode , the Pro Packer will automatically open the Pro
Encoder to encode the packed file. See

Encoding Immediately after Packing

on page 12. Otherwise, you can pack the files and encode them at another time
or location. See

Using the Encoder in Standalone Mode

on page 14.

Finally, if needed, use the Pro Encrypter utility to encrypt files for secure electronic
transmittal from place to place. See

Encrypting a File

on page 18.
