DTS-HD will be integrated into Sonic's Scenarist(R) and CineVision(TM) products for both HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc authoring and encoding.

Introducing an authoring system for both HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc, Sonic will integrate the DTS-HD technology into CineVision to encode all appropriate bit streams for both formats, including DTS-HD Master Audio bit-for-bit streams, DTS-HD constant bit rate streams that are higher resolution than allowed by standard DVD-V, standard DVD-V streams and low bit rate streams for Secondary / Sub audio applications.

Scenarist will playback DTS-encoded bit streams, which will enable a user to verify against picture for lip-sync checks before a master is created.
