Sonnox Fraunhofer Pro-Codec Plug-in (Native)

Sonnox Fraunhofer Pro-Codec

 plug-in is design for auditioning, encoding and decoding of audio signals using Fraunhofer codecs in real-time. It has been impossible to critically audition and then encode multiple formats in real time within a host DAW environment in the past. The revolutionary Fraunhofer Pro-Codec now makes this possible, and includes extensive monitoring tools and built-in encoding/decoding features.

Using the Fraunhofer Pro-Codec plug-in mix engineers may produce mixes optimised towards specific target codecs, thereby ensuring maximum fidelity. Similarly, Mastering engineers may audition in the final format and produce compensated masters for final encoding and distribution.

Supported Codecs:
mp3, mp3 Surround, AAC-LC, HE-AAC, and HE-AAC v2
mp3-HD and HD-AAC (Lossless Codecs)

Ability to select up to five codecs for simultaneous export, in real time, to encoded files

Comprehensive auditioning with glitchless switching

Ability to audition the difference between input signal and codec output

AB auditioning in real time between codecs, or between codec and input signal

ABX mode for blind statistical testing

Graphical displays include:
High resolution display of the Input signal and Diff signal.
Indication of the audibility of audio removed by the encoding process
Bitstream levels and ability to compensate for overloads
Indication of filesize or datastream compression
Phase metering

Off-line encoding and decoding

Compatible with many digital audio workstation applications, such as Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase, Nuendo, Sequoia and Wavelab. (Mac and PC)

Codec

mp3 Encoder
Channel Configurations - mono, stereo, 5.1
Sample Rates:
mono and stereo - 8, 11.025, 12, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1 and 48kHz
5.1 - 44.1 and 48kHz
Bit Rates:
mono - 8 to 320 kbps in variable and constant rate
stereo - 16 to 320 kbps in variable and constant rate
5.1 - 128 to 320 kbps in variable and constant rate

mp3-HD Encoder
Channel Configurations - mono, stereo
Sample Rates (mono and stereo) - 32, 44.1 and 48kHz
Bit Rates - variable (lossless)
Limitations - only 16-bit integer input values supported

AAC (AAC-LC, HE-AAC) Encoder
Channel Configurations - mono, stereo, 5.0, 5.1
Sample Rates (mono and stereo) - 8, 11.025, 12, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1 and 48kHz
Bit Rates (stereo 44.1kHz):
AAC-LC - 96 to 320 kbps in variable and constant rate
HE-AAC - 16 to 128 kbps in variable and constant rate
HE-AAC v2 - 18 to 56 kbps in variable and constant rate

HD-AAC Encoder
Channel Configurations - mono, stereo, 5.1 (7.1 not currently supported)
Sample Rates (mono and stereo) - 32, 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 and 192kHz
Bit Rates - variable (lossless)
Limitations - supported oversampling modes:
1 for input sample rate 44.1 and 48kHz
2 for input sample rate 88.2 and 96kHz
1 for input sample rate 176.4 and 192kHz

CPU Usage
All codecs are mathematically intense, and some have significant latency as a result. Separately from the latency, some of the codecs are also CPU-intensive
In particular, the HD-AAC lossless codec creates heavy CPU load. High sample rates exacerbate this situation; for example, without a powerful CPU the HD-AAC codec might cause a prohibitively high CPU load at 192kHz

Controls
Input Meter: 0dB to -63dB
Display Frequency: 20Hz to 20kHz (44.1 and 48kHz)
Graphical Display Gain: +10dB to -120dB (to -180dB with zoom)
Bitstream Level Trim: -12dB to 0dB
Trim Meter: 0dB to +10dB
Trim Display: -144dB to +10dB

System Requirements
Avid Pro Tools 7 and 8 (RTAS and M-Powered), Pro Tools 9 (RTAS) and Pro Tools HD Native, and host programs that support VST and Audio Units plug-in formats
Mac Intel OSX 10.5 or later
Windows XP or Windows 7
