Chapter 1Introduction

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.

! Off-line mode, without the presence of a unit, to create and edit parameter files.

Off-line mode may be useful to demonstrate the operation of an encoder without

the presence of the encoder hardware.

! Save a unit configuration in a file on a PC. Restore the unit’s configuration from a

saved DolbyRemote file.

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

format.

The DolbyLoad application, for downloading new encoder firmware, is included with

DolbyRemote as a convenience to customers. See the encoder firmware upgrade

documentation for downloading instructions.

The minimum PC system requirements include a Pentium® 90 processor and either:

• Windows® 95 with 16 Megabytes of memory, or

• Windows®NT 4.0, Service Pack 3, and 24 Megabytes of memory.

Additional memory may be needed to run other applications simultaneously.
