7 The Codec Toolbox Manager
The Codec Toolbox Manager is an application, bundled with the Toolbox Plug-In, primarily intended
for encoding files using the latest codec technology from Fraunhofer IIS. In addition, the Manager
provides the ability to decode files, and features a metadata editor for adding metadata to your
encoded files.
This section provides an overview of the user interface, and discusses each section of the
application in detail. Technical specifications are given at the end of this chapter.
The graphical user interface of the Manager is logically separated into five main sections:
1. The Folder Browser is used to navigate folders on your file system containing supported
media. Selecting a folder containing files supported by the manager will load them into the
File List. The selected folder is denoted by an orange highlight.
2. To the right of the Folder Browser is the File List. It provides a detailed view of all
supported files in the folder currently selected by the Folder Browser.
3. Below the File List is the Encode/Decode Section. This is where settings pertaining to
encoding and decoding can be adjusted, as well as output file name and location options.
4. The Audition Section is situated at the bottom of the window. It contains controls for
playing back audio files selected for audition in the File List.
