Common Applications
5.1 DVD Authoring
Dolby products are often used in the process of authoring DVD discs. The process
requires a DP569 and DP562. A DP572 is also required if the audio is supplied in
Dolby E. Using the DolbyRemote software and Dolby Digital recorder package
increases ease of use. The Dolby Digital Recorder software utility runs on a Windows
95/98/NT computer with a digital I/O soundcard. It is used to produce .ac3 format
files. Figure 5-1 shows the audio equipment in a typical DVD encoding system.

Dolby Laboratories can also supply an interface kit to aid the installation of this
system into studios that use either all balanced or unbalanced digital audio connections.
This kit is called the DVD-Audio cable kit (Cat. No. 541) and contains four BNC cables
along with four impedance transformers. Three of the transformers are female XLR-to-
BNC connections, and the other has male XLR-to-BNC connections.
5.2 Monitoring Dolby E/Dolby Digital and Dolby
Surround Production
When a 5.1 mix is being created, and a Dolby Surround encoded mix will also be
created, the effects of both processes should be monitored.
