The Dolby DP567 is a two-channel Digital Audio Encoder ideally used for TV Broadcasting, Digital cable installations, and DVD authoring. Digital and analog inputs allow encoding of and mono or stereo audio signal. A two-line, 16-character alphanumeric LCD shows status parameters, while tri-color LEDs indicate channel activity. Front-panel controls include pushbuttons for entering configuration parameters, controlling the front-panel display, and controlling factory default and user-definable preset modes. Front- and rear-panel serial interfaces allow the DP567 to be configured and controlled from a PC or other remote device. A separate AES/EBU input may be used for a clock reference signal, and also as an input for a bitstream multiplexing feature that allows multiple encoded audio signals to be included in a single AES/EBU signal. Pre-encoded signals may come from other sources or multiple DP567s connected in a daisy-chain fashion. Two connectors are also provided for general-purpose I/O signals, including status and control signals. Fault-monitoring circuits warn of actual or potential system failure ,and bypass connections are provided so that the DP567 may be used in a hot-stand by mode in broadcast installations.
