Minnetonka Audio Software Debuts Trio Of New Products By Janice Brown May 9, 2008, 12:25 Minnetonka, MN (May 9, 2008) -- Several new Minnetonka Audio Software (MASE) products will make their European debut in Stand #2212 at the 124th AES convention in Amsterdam.  MASE will be introducing SurCode for Dolby E Decoder, Lawo SurCode for Dolby E and a new Dolby Media Meter plug-in for Minnetonka AudioTools AWE. SurCode for Dolby E Decoder First, the SurCode for Dolby E Decoder, for Pro Tools (Mac/PC) and Minnetonka AudioTools AWE (Mac), offers the ability to decode Dolby E files back to discrete PCM and perform any production work that is required. SurCode for Dolby E Decoder provides output and routing control of audio streams on a channel or program basis via a simple user interface that includes channel configuration, output metering, and metadata display of both Dolby E streams and individual program material. While the Pro Tools plug-in allows the integrated access to Dolby E files from within the workstation, AudioTools AWE has been designed to offload and automate workflow from the DAW. Both options are part of the same SurCode for Dolby E Decoder license. Next, in a common development effort, Lawo, Dolby and Minnetonka Audio Software, Inc. (MASI) announce the new Lawo SurCode for Dolby E Real-Time Decoder plug-in that functions as a VST plug-in and is controlled by a graphical user interface allowing for full control and recall on the fly, completely integrated into the Lawo production environment. Lawo SurCode for Dolby E has been designed for full compatibility and interoperability with Dolby E hardware equipment. Finally, MASE announces the addition of a Dolby Media Meter plug-in for AudioTools AWE. Dolby Media Meter is a new software loudness meter that has been added to the Dolby Media Producer family of products and is designed to measure subjective loudness of dialogue, enabling postproduction and broadcast facilities to minimize inconsistencies between programs, channels, disc based media or gaming audio elements. MASE will be sharing a booth (2212) at AES Amsterdam with partner Sonic Studio, LLC. For more information on this trio of new products, visit www.minnetonkaaudio.com.
