DBD08 - Dolby E and Dolby Digital Decoder stand alone or ADD-ON card

Description

The DBD08 is a fully compliant Dolby E decoder. Dolby E is designed to transport multichannel audio (discrete 5.1 surround Dolby Digital) in a broadcast environment. The DBD08 decodes up to 8 channels of high quality audio plus Dolby digital metadata from a single AES pair. Fundamental to the operation of Dolby E is the synchronization of audio with video, in order to provide an exact match between encoded Dolby E audio frames and video frames Dolby E requires synchronization to a video signal. All Dolby E encoders and decoders must have either a direct reference video signal, or derive the information from a video reference signal. The DBD08 can also be used as a Dolby Digital (AC3) surround sound decoder.
