Using the DP570 in
Postproduction
The DP570 can be used in a variety of postproduction settings. We discuss one example.
The instructions in this section allow you to use the DP570 to respond quickly with
necessary changes and improvements to the mix.
7.1 Connecting the DP570
In the example shown in Figure 7‐1 , the mixing console is used to create a 5.1‐channel mix,
which is then fed to the DP570. The user selects dynamic range control and downmix
parameters and auditions them in various monitor modes before starting to record the
DP571 output. For playback of the recorded tape, the VTR audio outputs are fed to a
DP572. Afterward, the DP572 outputs are rerouted to the DP570 for monitoring via a
console or monitor box.
This basic setup is effective for creation and editing of Dolby ® E recorded media.
