MatrixEncoder is intended for the Pro Logic compatible encoding of multi-channel files. This is a process where a 4-channel surround mix is packed into two channels for broadcasting or a two-channel version for DVDs, for example. MatrixEncoder takes four separate inputs (LRCS = Left, Right, Center, and Surround) and creates two final outputs: Left-total and Right-total (Lt and Rt).

Note

This manual does not attempt to explain the full background on how Pro Logic works, but focuses on how you can use the MatrixEncoder/Matrix Decoder to produce a mix that is compatible with this standard.
