Dolby
®
Identification and Metadata Output Processing
(See Figure 1-9.) All AES pairs and embedded channels are checked by the
+DEC card 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 “Present Dolby E” or “Present Dolby Digital”, as applicable.
(The decoder always uses the metadata associated with its respective AES or
embedded 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 +DEC card can embed metadata on the SDI output, sourced from either
SDI input video or from the decoder as desired. Similarly, the
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 1-9.) 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.
