Advanced Audio Processing
Software Key License Credits Overview
To use the Advanced Audio Processing option, you will need to purchase the
X100OPT-ADVAUD audio submodule, and a number of X100OPT-SK-DTS or
X100OPT-SK-DDD, or X100OPT-SK-DDE Software Key License Credits. The number of license
credits that you need depends on which audio functions you select for DTS
Neural, Dolby
Digital (AC-3) Decoder, Dolby Digital (AC-3) Encoder, Dolby E Decoder, or Dolby E Encoder.
The DTS Neural UpMix mode, for example, requires three license credits, while the
MultiMerge mode requires four. These credits are transferable across different DTS Neural
options, and can be used for any combination of DTS Neural Loudness Control, or DTS
Neural Surround UpMix, DownMix, and MultiMerge. However, they can only be used in
the X100 unit for which they
were purchased.
Different AAP options require different amounts of MCPS usage (Million Calculations Per
Second). The X100 monitors both license credits and MCPS usage, preventing you from
enabling too many DTS Neural or Dolby Digital processes at one time (see
Table
4-1).
You can perform an offline test to make sure you have the right number of license credits
and enough MCPS capacity. Select your proposed options at Miscellaneous > Licensing
and MCPS Planner. Then, in the MCPS Usage and Credit Cost field, you can see how
many credits and how much MCPS usage you are testing. The AAP MCPS and Credit
Remaining fields show how many license credits and how much MCPS capacity are still
available. If you exceed your limits, the planner will display a negative number. (In actual use,
if you exceed your credits and MCPS limits, the options will not be enabled.)
