Concepts
• Dolby Digital or Dolby 5.1 or AC-3, is an audio coding system containing up to 6
discrete channels of sound, with 5 channels for normal-range speakers (20 Hz - 20,
000 Hz) (Right front, Center, Left Front, Right Rear and Left Rear) and one channel
(20 Hz - 120 Hz) for the LFE, or subwoofer.
• Dolby E is a professional coding system optimized for the distribution of surround and
multichannel audio through two-channel postproduction and broadcasting
infrastructures, or for recording surround audio on two audio tracks of conventional
digital video tapes, video servers, communication links, switchers, and routers.
Available Dolby Configurations
Case 1: The 5.1 audio signal is carried on 6 discrete PCM audio
channels
• It is available on an XT2 server in all configurations.
• The audio can be analog, digital or embedded depending on the configuration.
• In AES audio, if the audio is correctly genlocked to the video, the sample rate
converter can be switched off.
Case 2: The 5.1 audio signal is coded in the two-channel Dolby E
standard
• Dolby E over AES/EBU links
◦ Set the configuration of the pair of channels carrying the Dolby E signal to “DY” in
