DTS 5.1 NOW SUPPORTED BY PIXELTOOLS' TRANSMUX SOFTWARE

AGOURA HILLS, CA – PixelTools’ TransMux software now supports DTS (www.dts.com) Coherent Acoustics multi-channel audio, allowing customers to easily multiplex MPEG video content at any resolution with DTS 5.1 channel surround sound for cinema pre-show and alternative content.

TransMux is a Windows-based encoding application that combines multiple MPEG video or audio streams into a fully synchronized high definition or standard definition MPEG-2 program. The application can also de-multiplex MPEG streams into their elementary components. When combined with DTS Coherent Acoustics it forms a high definition transport stream for use in HDTV desktop, video-on-demand, streaming or HDTV systems.

Customers using the updated software can quickly and easily create pre-show advertisements, policy trailers and theatrical trailers for the cinema in high-definition video quality with high quality DTS surround sound. It also allows a simple all-in-one process for content ingest preparation, delivery and screening, and integrates easily with the new DTS Cinema Media Network.
