Detection
Detection offers two options: Normal and Silent Switch. In Normal
mode, an input that switches from PCM to Dolby Digital (if, for example, the
complete bitstream information carried in a Dolby Digital signal is interrupted for
some reason) may produce a short burst of noise at the transition point. Silent
Switch eliminates that noise in most (but not all) instances; however, it adds latency
to the PCM processing time. Normal is appropriate for most circumstances, but if
you are monitoring a signal you know to have this problem, Silent Switch can
help.
Stream Select
Stream Select offers Automatic selection, which accepts the lowest number
Dolby Digital bitstream; or you can specify a Dolby Digital bitstream, (0-7) to be
decoded when the input stream contains multiple Dolby Digital streams multiplexed
together. In professional modes, bitstream number 7 is reserved for timecode.
AES3 Channel Select
AES3 Ch Sel offers four options: Automatic, Channel 1, Channel 2, and
Channel 1+2. Dolby Digital is carried in one of two ways on an AES or S/PDIF
interface:
• In 16-bit mode, it is packed into either the left or right channel of the pair of
channels.
• In 32-bit mode, it takes both channels of the pair.
Selecting Channel 1 or Channel 2 specifies that channel to be the accepted
input. Selecting Channel 1+2 requires a 32-bit input stream. When you select
Auto, the DP564 locks onto the first signal it recognizes. If there are two 16-bit
streams in a pair, Auto locks to the stream on Channel 1. Auto saves time, and is
therefore recommended unless you know you have 16-bit signals on each channel of
the pair, in which case you should specify which signal you want to process.
