Dolby ® Identification and Metadata Output Processing
(See Figure 1-7.) All AES pairs and embedded channels are checked by the
9035-DEC for valid Dolby
® status. When a valid Dolby ® encoded embedded
or discrete AES pair is detected, the channel pair carrying the Dolby ® format
is displayed as “Locked Dolby E” or “Locked Dolby Digital”, as applicable.
(The decoder always uses the metadata associated with its respective AES
pair.) A selected encoded channel pair can then be directed to the Dolby
®
decoder. The decoder then displays the Dolby ® bitstream format and program
configuration (for example, “Dolby E 20-bit 5.1+2” indicating 5-channel
surround with LFE channel and stereo monitor pair) for the selected pair, as
defined by its metadata.
The 9035-DEC can embed metadata on the SDI output, sourced from either
SDI input video or from the decoder as desired. Similarly, the 9035-DEC
DOLBY META output can provide RS-485 metadata for downstream devices or
systems. Metadata on the DOLBY META RS-485 output can also be sourced
from either SDI input video or from the decoder as desired.
Audio Decoding
(See Figure 1-7.) Based on the channels carrying the Dolby ® encoded pair and
the format defined within, the Dolby ® decoder provides up to 10 decoded
audio channels ( Dolby Ch 1 thru Dolby Ch 8 ; Dolby Mix 1 , Dolby Mix 2 ). Each
channel can be routed just as any other audio channel described in this
section.
