Figure 43: Dolby Status display

Elements of the Dolby Status display. The following is a list of some of the
elements that show on the Dolby Status display. Some elements apply only
to Dolby type E. If Dolby type D is detected, these elements display with their
names grayed out and with a value of N/A. For a complete list of the elements that
might appear, see the instrument online help by pressing the HELP button when
the Dolby Status display is active in a tile.
Program Description Text: A 32-character ASCII text field used by the
program author to describe the audio program; for example, the name of the
program (Movie Channel Promo), the program source (Football Main Feed),
or the program language (Danish).
Dolby Format: Indicates the Dolby Format. This indicator is also tied to the
Dolby Format Error/Alarm: if the Alarm is asserted, the Dolby Format is
displayed in red.
Channel Mode (or Audio Coding mode): Indicates the active channels
within the encoded bit stream, representing it in a ratio, X/Y, where X is the
number of front channels (Left, Center, Right) and Y is the number of rear
(Surround) channels. If the LFE Channel is present, an L is appended at the
end of the channel mode.
Program Configuration: Determines how the audio channels are grouped
within a Dolby E bitstream. Up to eight channels can be grouped together in
individual programs, where each program contains its own metadata.
