1.4 DP570
The DP570 Multichannel Audio Tool allows users to generate metadata for input into
either a Dolby E or Dolby Digital encoder, and to monitor the effects of metadata on
an audio source in real time. It also includes features such as multiple speaker selection,
audio channel routing (which eliminates the need for an external router), and separate
inputs for Dolby Surround Pro Logic decoding and 5.1-channel monitor configuration.
1.5 DP571
The DP571 Dolby E Encoder encodes up to eight PCM audio channels plus Dolby
Digital metadata into a single AES3 channel pair. Its one-frame PCM audio delay
keeps linear PCM audio in sync with Dolby E encoded audio.
1.6 DP572
The DP572 Dolby E Decoder decodes up to eight channels of high-quality PCM
audio plus Dolby Digital metadata from a single Dolby E-encoded AES3 pair, or
from two audio tracks on a digital videotape, digital audio tape, or video server.
1.7 DM100
The DM100 Bitstream Analyzer is a very useful tool for installation engineers. It is a
handheld, portable diagnostic tool that can monitor Dolby Digital, Dolby E, and PCM
bitstreams. It can also generate test streams in any of the above formats. Structure of
