This tool opens the selected DTS-HD file and reads the DTS-HD header extracting the information that
is contained within the encoded stream. The tool does not decode or perform any validation. That is the
function of the Verify Tool. The data is partitioned into several sections showing information found in
the header, the core substream, the extension substream, the audio presentation data such as number of
channels, bit rate, sample rate, etc., the size of the encoded audio stream, navigation data and the
synchronization words that are pertinent to the stream. The scrolled area of the Verify Tool can be
selected by highlighting with the mouse and copy/paste to an external file for future use. This is
accomplished by using Ctrl-C (Windows) or Apple-C (Macintosh) to copy from the scrolled pane and
Ctrl-V (Windows) or Command-V (Macintosh) to paste into an open file.
Table 10-1 shows an example of the output generated from the File Info Tool.
