Figure 5-3Example Equipment Setup for use with Consoles with Full Monitoring Functions

Figure 5-3 shows a setup that uses separate program audio and monitor feeds. In this setup, the console being used should feature the required monitoring functions.

5.2.2Monitoring with a DP569 and DP562

If a DP570 is not available, it is possible to use a DP562 along with a DP569 and DP563 to perform similar monitoring functions. The setup shown in Figure 5-4 shows how this can be done. No external switching equipment is required, as either a serial remote connection, a GPI/O connection, or the front panel can be used to control the switching. However due to the coding delay of the Dolby Digital process, the latency of this setup will be at least 211 ms and will change when switching between Dolby Digital and Dolby Surround.
