Cole Williams DTS Core Audio Encoder
Cole Williams Software Limited

OVERVIEW
========

CW-DTS is a Windows command-line DTS Core audio encoder for stereo and
multichannel PCM audio.

Version 1.0.1.0 is the final release.

SUPPORTED INPUT
===============

Public input support:

  - WAV PCM
  - FLAC when libFLAC.dll is supplied beside cw-dts.exe

Supported public sample rates:

  - 44.1 kHz
  - 48 kHz

Native 44.1 kHz operation makes CW-DTS suitable for direct encoding of
standard CD-rate PCM without forcing the source to 48 kHz.

SUPPORTED CHANNEL LAYOUTS
=========================

Validated public layouts include:

  - 2.0 stereo
  - 3.0
  - 4.0
  - 5.0
  - 5.1

SUPPORTED BITRATES
==================

Public constant-bitrate DTS Core profiles:

  768 kbps
  1024 kbps
  1152 kbps
  1411.2 kbps

Command-line values:

  --bitrate 768
  --bitrate 1024
  --bitrate 1152
  --bitrate 1411

The 1411 setting maps to 1,411,200 bit/s.

The default bitrate is 768 kbps.

BASIC USAGE
===========

  cw-dts.exe input.wav output.dts --bitrate 1152

Matrix decode:

  cw-dts.exe input.wav output.dts --matrix-decode --bitrate 1152

Matrix decode with THX bass management:

  cw-dts.exe input.wav output.dts --matrix-decode --thx --bitrate 1152

Matrix decode with explicit rear delay:

  cw-dts.exe input.wav output.dts --matrix-decode --thx --rear-delay 20 --bitrate 1152

MATRIX PROCESSING
=================

Optional matrix processing shares CW-AC3 matrix behaviour.

The default rear delay is 20 ms. With matrix decoding enabled,
--rear-delay accepts 0..40 ms.

THX PRESET
==========

--thx enables fixed 80 Hz Linkwitz-Riley fourth-order bass management.

The default LFE gain for this preset is 0 dB.

FLAC INPUT
==========

Optional FLAC input requires libFLAC.dll beside cw-dts.exe.

EXACT AUDIO COPY
================

CW-DTS includes an --eac integration mode for Exact Audio Copy and supports
native 44.1 kHz CD audio.

See EAC.txt for the recommended EAC configuration.

WINDOWS BUILDS
