# Can SurCode for Dolby Digital Plus Encode Dolby Atmos?

SurCode for Dolby Digital Plus does not perform Dolby Atmos encoding. Dolby has not yet made Atmos encoding widely available; Atmos encoding can only be done by a [Dolby-approved facility](https://www.dolby.com/us/en/professional/content-creation/dolby-atmos.html). However, there are several metadata authoring tools that are used to prepare an encode of an Atmos mix in a Dolby-qualified Atmos facility. [Dolby Atmos Production Suite](https://www.avid.com/plugins/dolby-atmos-production-suite) is currently the most widely-used.
