Introduction

1.1DolbyRemote Overview

The DolbyRemote application is used to remotely control the entire range of Dolby Laboratories Inc. Dolby Digital encoders. Key features of the software include:

!Control of several Dolby professional audio products from a single instance of the DolbyRemote application, hardware permitting.

!Export an encoder’s configuration in human readable form in either text or HTML format.
