NOTE: The Dolby Surround process uses matrix encoding to combine 4 channels, (Left, Center,
Right and Surround) into a mono and stereo compatible stereo signal. This can be decoded by a
Dolby Surround Decoder (also known as a Dolby Pro Logic Decoder for consumer devices like HIFI
systems and VCRs), of which there are several tens of millions in homes around the world. The
Dolby encoded signal can also be played correctly on a stereo or mono system.
A pair of mixer columns configured
for Dolby encoding/decoding
A send element in the first mixer column
sends the stereo signal to the second
column via buses 5 and 6 for decoding.
The same pair of mixer columns,
presented as a connection diagram.
