The PanHandler is an exciting new tool for real-time surround sound panning and encoding. It allows the production of multi-dimensional sound tracks for multimedia, video, video games, television, radio ad spots, and many other applications. The newest addition to the FX plug-in line for the SAW32 environment. The PanHandler can operate on any or all SAW32 tracks. The selected sound file can be panned anywhere within the L, C, R, S sound field and includes a function for easily producing mono and surround compatible sound files (file which can be played back on in Surround Sound, Stereo, or Mono). All of this is accomplished without additional hardware ! The final mix can then be successfully decoded via a Surround sound receiver/decoder playback unit. All the surround sound encoded events are played back exactly as they were panned and encoded. The result is a remarkably realistic listening experience. And if play back is in a normal stereo configuration, Surround Sound tracks still create a wider, more enveloping sound field for the listener.There is no need for large, expensive, and bulking mixing consoles as generally required for surround sound panning and encoding. It is all done using software.

With this intuitive interface, surround sound panning and encoding is very simple. The Line panning function is used for fast and accurate fly-by's not possible using a mouse or joystick. The 32-bit assembly code used in The PanHandler, like SAW32 has been optimized for real-time use.

The final mix can then be successfully decoded via a Surround sound receiver/decoder playback unit. All the surround sound encoded events are played back exactly as they were panned and encoded. The result is a remarkably realistic listening experience. And if play back is in a normal stereo configuration, Surround Sound tracks still create a wider, more enveloping sound field for the listener.

The PanHandler gives you complete control over the surround sound encoder's input and output volumes, so making adjustments is as easy as moving a slider (no more tiny screwdrivers adjustments). You can also monitor the surround sound encoder's amplitudes with the LED meters.
