DBE08 - Dolby E Encoder stand alone or ADD-ON card
Description
The DBE08 is a stand-alone Dolby E encoder. Although it is not a complete replacement for the DP571 from Dolby Laboratories, it can be considered as a functional equivalent. The advantages however are the facts that the DBE08 is modular, can run on a dual power supply, Ethernet and SNMP compatible, and has a nice enhancement to the menu structure. This last item is an interesting feature. The DBE08 can handle 8 presets with metadata (A through H) and 10 presets of different program combinations. The often used program combinations like 5.1+2 are available with 4 times the individual metadata sets. This will result in the possibility to have 4 times the program combination 5.1+2, but with 8 different metadata settings.
