    --  Dolby Digital Pro SDK for adding Dolby Digital Professional encoding and
        decoding to professional software applications.

        encoding and decoding to professional software applications.

    --  Reference Transcoding SDK for Dolby Digital Professional and Dolby

MainConcept is a provider of certified Dolby Digital implementations and the new SDKs have been fully tested and approved by Dolby Laboratories. The new SDK packages are immediately available for Windows(R), Mac(R)/Intel(R) and Linux in 32-bit as well as 64-bit versions. They include both Low Level C++ APIs and DirectShow filters and are fully compatible with other MainConcept codecs and SDKs that may already be in use.

The new SDKs enhance the fast and easy implementation of Dolby's renowned audio technology. They enable the delivery of up to 5.1 discrete audio channels of surround sound over less bandwidth, providing a richer and more enveloping audio experience whether via HDTV, IPTV, cable, satellite, or terrestrial broadcast television. Dolby Digital is the sound of high definition surround sound and is used extensively in DVD, Blu-ray and interactive formats BD-Live and BonusView, where additional content, such as trailers, background comments, interactive games or other exclusive features, are streamed to a consumer's Blu-ray Disc devices as they watch content from an inserted disc.

"MainConcept is well known for its high quality audio and video codecs and SDKs," said Jason Power, Director, Broadcast Systems, Dolby Laboratories, Inc. "We are pleased to see MainConcept release Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus encoding and decoding solutions that will help creative professionals deliver compelling movies, music, and games that provide the audio experience intended by their creators."

"MainConcept codecs are the backbone of the content creation market's most successful applications," said Muzaffer Beygirci, Managing Director and Vice President Worldwide Sales of MainConcept GmbH. "We are seeing an increased demand from professional content creators for Dolby technologies as a result of the impending release of Microsoft's Windows 7, the availability of next generation playback hardware and software solutions supporting Dolby Digital Plus and a dizzying array of products incorporating Dolby Digital entering the market. Our newly available Dolby Digital Pro, Dolby Digital Plus Pro and Reference Transcoding SDKs are the perfect solutions for software developers who need the highest quality, Dolby technology in a powerful and full featured SDK."
