The Dolby DP600 Program Optimizer is a direct result of Dolby Laboratories’ continued leadership in the development of innovative broadcast technologies. This innovative tool is designed specifically for cable, satellite, IPTV, and terrestrial TV broadcasters that employ a file‐based infrastructure and work flow. The DP600 includes the world’s first intelligent audio analysis and automated loudness normalization engine for many of the most common broadcast media file and audio formats in use today. In addition, it offers Dolby E, Dolby Digital, and Dolby Digital Plus encoding, decoding, and transcoding, all in an open architecture. Using the DP600, broadcasters can provide their viewers with a consistent audio experience and reduce loudness complaints across all of their programs, channels, and networks. Expanding upon the unique Dialogue Intelligence™ technology developed for the Dolby LM100 Broadcast Loudness Meter, the DP600 normalizes the loudness of audio programs with no impact on their original dynamic range. The DP600 automates previously lengthy quality‐control processes, and performs them in faster than real time. It automatically analyzes audio bitstreams coded in Dolby E, Dolby Digital, and Dolby Digital Plus, for any channel configuration and loudness level. It intelligently and automatically sets, validates, and corrects the dialogue normalization (dialnorm) audio metadata parameter without the need for decoding and reencoding— ensuring a properly encoded bitstream. The DP600 also provides intelligent and automatic speech‐based loudness normalization for both PCM audio and MPEG‐1 LII audio. For compressed audio formats that include metadata (for example, Dolby E, Dolby Digital, and Dolby Digital Plus), the Dolby DP600 can automatically set or correct the dialnorm parameter (see Figure 1‐1). For audio formats that do not include metadata, the Dolby DP600 can automatically set or correct the dialnorm parameter by referencing a user‐defined target level (see Figure 1‐2). The Model DP600‐C adds faster‐than‐real‐time file‐based encoding and decoding of Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus, and the first file‐based implementation of Dolby E. In addition, this model enables multichannel audio transcoding of Dolby E to Dolby Digital or Dolby Digital Plus formats. It also provides a unique high‐quality, single‐step Dolby Digital to Dolby Digital Plus transcoder that preserves the metadata and minimizes tandem coding losses. This allows the audio from existing media archives to be converted to next‐generation broadcast formats. Dolby DP600 Program Optimizer Manual ®...

Work Flow Flexibility and Ease of Use The Dolby DP600 platform suits several types of applications, including archiving, automated quality control, content conversion, and media asset management, and it offers considerable potential for integration with third‐party systems through an open application programming interface (API). You can control the DP600 and its processing engines in three ways to suit specific user requirements. • Manual control: Users can set up and initiate work orders on an individual or batch basis from a simple‐to‐use interface. • Third‐party control via Web services: To enable system integration at any level, the DP600’s processing engines are also available as a set of Web services. This allows manufacturers to integrate these engines directly into their work flow to create a seamless user experience without impacting day‐to‐day operations. • Automatic hot folder ingest process: Users can create hot folders and predefine a work order profile for each one. The profile governs the DP600’s behavior with specific broadcast media types. All media files moved to a hot folder are automatically processed based on the folder’s profile and delivered to a user‐defined folder upon completion. Hot folders are easy to set up and use and can greatly speed integration time within some facilities. Dolby DP600 Program Optimizer Manual ®...

Power Supply Indicators Three power supply LEDs on the front panel indicate whether the power is on, if one of the redundant power supplies has failed, and the temperature of the unit. Power: This green LED lights when the DP600 has power. Power supply failure: This red LED is off during normal operation. It lights or flashes red if either of the redundant power supplies fails. Temperature: This tricolor LED glows green when the temperature of the unit is cool, yellow if the temperature is warm, and red if the temperature is hot. If this LED is yellow or red, the operating environment may be warmer than expected and in need of modification. In such a case, call your Dolby authorized technical representative immediately. 1.5.5 Internal Drive Indicators The DP600 has five physical internal hard drives. Drives 1 and 2 are arranged in a RAID 1 configuration to provide protection for the operating system as well as local storage. The remaining three hard drives are configured as separate drives to provide local storage. This configuration of one RAID pair and three separate drives represents four logical drives. There are four bicolor LEDs on the front panel, labeled 1, 2, 3, and 4. These LEDs indicate the status of the DP600’s four logical internal hard drives. The drive LEDs function as follows: Off (non‐illuminated): Indicates a functional drive with no current disk access activity. Green: Indicates normal drive activity. Red: Indicates a drive failure. LED shows the status of the two‐drive RAID 1 configuration. The operating system is installed on these mirrored drives to prevent a physical drive failure, resulting in an inoperable system. If either of the mirrored drives fails, the other RAID drive enables the system to operate normally until the failed drive is replaced. Dolby DP600 Program Optimizer Manual ®...

System Maintenance Figure 3‐8 Figure 3-8 Reinstall Front-Panel Drive Cover Slide the front cover over the mounting tang and move it to the left until the mounting stud on the left rear side of the cover engages the hole in the front of the unit. If you replaced one RAID drive and did not shut down the system, the RAID array rebuilds automatically. However, if you are not running multiple work orders, we recommend shutting down the system, rebooting, and manually rebuilding the RAID array, as described in Rebuilding a Drive on page If you replaced a non‐RAID drive, rebooting and manual rebuilding is required, as described in Rebuilding a Drive on page If you replaced both RAID drives (drives 1 and 2), you need to use the DP600 software DVD to reinstall the software, as described in Upgrading/Installing the DP600 Software on page 55. In such a case, you perform a clean installation and the system automatically synchronizes the two RAID drives, recreating the original mirrored RAID array (manual rebuilding not required).

Upgrading/Installing the DP600 Software Upgrading/Installing the DP600 Software The DP600 packing kit includes an installation DVD. With this disc, you can perform a clean installation or an upgrade of the DP600 software (if required). A clean installation restores the DP600 to the factory settings. An upgrade simply updates the software to the latest release, retaining all your custom settings. To perform an upgrade or a clean installation of the DP600 software: Obtain the DP600 DVD from Dolby, and be sure the provided keyboard is connected to one of the unit’s USB ports. Insert the DVD in the CD/DVD drive, and reboot the system. A message says that the software is already installed and displays the currently installed version and the version on the DVD. It prompts you to either type to upgrade or press any key to start a clean installation. Press to upgrade or press any key to start a clean installation. The upgrade or clean installation process begins. When the new software is completely installed, you are prompted to press any key to reboot, and to remove the DVD. Press any key to reboot and remove the installation disc from the CD/DVD drive. When the system reboots, if the disc is still in the CD/DVD drive, a clean installation begins. Your DP600 touch screen was calibrated during the manufacturing process, but you may need to recalibrate the touch screen after a clean installation. When the DP600 reboots after a clean installation, the calibration setup appears on the front‐panel touch screen. The calibration setup enables you to configure the touch screen, so it responds properly. To calibrate the touch screen, you need to proceed as follows within approximately 30 seconds from the time it appears. If you do not proceed within this time period, the calibration screen disappears. A small target appears at the upper left corner of the calibration setup, and a cross appears at each of the other three corners, as shown in Figure 3‐16. To calibrate the touch screen: • Press the target at the upper left corner for a couple of seconds until it changes to ...

.wav file: Left, Right, Center, LFE, Left Surround, Right Surround per SMPTE 320M Table 2. (Failure to adhere to this rule results in unintended behavior.) All DP600 profiles and processes that expect and/or provide multichannel or multiprogram audio must be contained in a single file (that is, all channels are interleaved). For this reason, the DP600 does not support discrete (mono) input files that (together) comprise a complete multichannel audio program. For any DP600 profiles that expect a PCM source file, the Dolby metadata ® .wav chunk is optional. In cases where the metadata chunk is not present, the DP600 processes utilize a default set of metadata parameters, except where noted in the profile descriptions provided on the following pages in this appendix. For this reason, the Dolby metadata chunk is required to obtain full control over any/all Dolby metadata parameters (on a file‐by‐file basis). All decoder‐related profiles that output PCM files default to 16‐bit sample depths .wav (unless noted otherwise), except for Dolby E decoding, which defaults to 24‐bit sample depths. Unless otherwise noted, many files processed by the DP600 (that is, the output files) contain the text string , which is appended to the input file name. For -corrected example, a source file name such as results in a processed file named DP600_test.mpg in your destination directory. DP600_test-corrected.mpg The Dolby metadata chunk specification is available upon request. Dolby DP600 Program Optimizer Manual ®...

DP600 Program Optimizer Detailed Profile Descriptions Profiles that are capable of processing source files into multiple output files (for example, a 5.1+2–channel Dolby E decode) name each program as follows: Program 1: source_filename-sequence[1]-program[1]-corrected.wav Program 2: source_filename-sequence[1]-program[2]-corrected.wav Note: suffix appears if a loudness correction step was performed. -corrected All profiles referencing MPEG‐2 transport streams assume that only a single program is present. For files larger than 4 GB, the DP600 supports only the European Broadcasting .wav Union (EBU) RF64 BWF‐compatible multichannel file format. (An RF64 format file may also be termed as a Multichannel Broadcast WAV Format, or MBWF, file). All 20‐bit Dolby E data must be formatted per SMPTE 337M and wrapped in a 24‐bit file container before transferring it to the DP600 for processing (this excludes any .wav Dolby E data contained within an MPEG transport stream, MPEG program stream, or GXF file). 10. All 16‐bit Dolby E data must be formatted per SMPTE 337M and wrapped in a 16‐bit file container before transferring it to the DP600 for processing (this excludes any .wav Dolby E data contained within an MPEG transport stream, MPEG program stream, or GXF file). Note: 16‐bit Dolby E data is supported only when used with specific profiles. For more information, see the profile descriptions in Section B.2. Dolby DP600 Program Optimizer Manual...
