Figure 4-4 Main Status Menu with a Valid PCM Input

The space above the line displays the type of input, sample rate, bit depth, and mode
(

Professional

or

Consumer

) of the stream. The DP564 accepts inputs up to

96 kHz, downsampling higher sample rates for processing at 48 or 44.1 kHz. Below
the line, you can still see the preset name and number, but the two-letter abbreviations
do not apply to a PCM stream.

Output Level Meters

The output level meters screen displays the level of each audio output signal after all
decoding, downmix, listening-mode, compression-mode, and bass-management
signal processing, but before any channel-level trims or delays.

4.3.3 Compression

Meters

The compression meters give a clear visual representation of the way in which the
dynamic range control is working on a Dolby Digital program. This display shows
dynamic range activity for both Line and RF profiles regardless of your

Compression

selection. This screen also shows the current dialogue level value in the Dolby Digital
bitstream.

4.3.4 Monitor

Status

The

Monitor Status

menu shows the settings for your current monitor setup,

including speaker configuration, subwoofer presence, crossover frequency (for bass
management), extended bitstream emulation status, and headphone output mode
(stereo or Dolby Headphone profile).

4.3.5 Metadata

The

Metadata Status

menu displays the settings for metadata parameters

received in the Dolby Digital bitstream. Use ▲ or ▼ to select any parameter, and

Enter

to view the unabbreviated parameter name and status. You can view extended

bitstream parameter status by scrolling to the bottom of the
