Introduction

9035 Functional Description

Zero-DEClay Audio Embedding

In cases where additional delay must be avoided, it may be desirable to embed
AES with minimum latency. Using zero-DEClay embedding, the video can
then be delayed by one frame to account for any remaining audio delay. In
this manner, any delay between video and audio can be cleanly contained and
managed within one frame period.

When zero-DEClay audio embedding is enabled for a given AES pair, the
pair is directly embedded into its corresponding group (for example, AES Pair
1 into embedded channels 1 and 2; AES Pair 2 into embedded channels 3 and
4, and so on) with the normal frame sync audio delay being bypassed.

This function overrides the audio routing system (for example if AES Pair 1 is
selected, then the controls to route AES Pair 1 into other embedded channels
will not apply). Gain and polarity control is not available when this option is
selected. Zero-DEClay audio embedding is set to Off by default.

Low-Latency AES Passthrough

This function is similar to zero-DEClay audio embedding. If low-latency AES
passthrough is selected for a given input pair, it causes the corresponding
AES output pair to act as a bit-for-bit copy of the corresponding AES input
pair.

This control overrides the normal audio routing and delay. Gain and polarity
control is not available when this option is selected. Passthrough is set to Off
by default.

Decoding (9035-DEC only)

Note:

Although the 9035-DEC Dolby

®

decoder can provide Dolby

®

Digital™ (AC-3)

decoding, discussion and examples here describe only Dolby

®

E decoding.

When Dolby

®

E or Dolby

®

Digital™ is present on a discrete AES pair or an

embedded audio pair, the decoder produces up to 10 decoded channels
(according to the Dolby

®

sub-format received from the metadata). All

resulting channels are available as inputs to the audio router.
