DP600 Program Optimizer—Postproduction
2
DP600 and DP600-C for Postproduction
The DP600 Program Optimizer can be utilized in several
postproduction and content creation applications:
• Automated fi le analysis and loudness correction
• Automated fi le transcoding
° MPEG-1 LII to Dolby Digital (AC-3)
° Dolby Digital to Dolby Digital Plus
• Automated broadcast media fi le (GXF, others) audio
transcoding
° Dolby E to Dolby Digital
° Dolby E to Dolby Digital Plus
° Dolby Digital to Dolby Digital Plus
File-based Dolby E, Dolby Digital, and Dolby Digital Plus bit-
streams can be encoded and decoded to and from multichan-
nel WAV or Broadcast WAV fi les with metadata (included in
the Dolby audio metadata “chunk”).
2 File-based media and
audio assets can be analyzed, logged, and (if necessary) cor-
rected in faster than real time before delivery to clients.

Automated Broadcast Media File QC and Loudness
Correction
The Dolby DP600 platform facilitates a variety of applica-
tions, including archiving, automated QC, content conversion,
and media asset management, and it offers considerable po-
tential for integration with third-party systems through a Web
Services interface. Three control methods help meet specifi c
user requirements:
• Manual control—Users can set up and initiate
“processing jobs” on an individual basis from a simple-
to-use Web browser interface.
• Third-party control via Web Services—The DP600’s
processing engines are also available as a set of Web
Services. Manufacturers can integrate these engines,
at any level, directly into their work fl ow to create a
seamless user experience without impacting day-to-day
operations.
• Automatic hot-folder ingest process—Users can create
“hot folders” and predefi ne a work order profi le for each
one. The profi le governs the DP600’s behavior with
specifi c broadcast media types. All media fi les moved
to a hot folder are automatically processed based on the
folder’s profi le and delivered to a user-defi ned folder
upon completion. Hot folders are easy to set up and use
and can greatly speed integration within some facilities.
