Page 13: Chapter 1 Introduction
Welcome to Dolby The Dolby DP600 Program Optimizer is a result of Dolby Laboratories’ continued leadership in the development of innovative broadcast technologies. DP600 provides a file‐based work‐flow solution for loudness correction, audio conversion, and upmixing. It is specifically designed for use in cable, satellite, IPTV, terrestrial TV, radio, and postproduction facilities. The DP600 includes the world’s first intelligent audio analysis and automated loudness normalization engine, along with the ability to encode, decode, convert, or transcode between the following Dolby formats: Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Pulse, and Dolby E bitstreams; as well as PCM, MPEG‐1 LII, AAC, HE AAC, and HE AAC v.2. It also features a newly designed algorithm for upmixing legacy two‐channel audio for 5.1‐channel delivery. To ease the transition into a file‐based workflow, the DP600 also supports many of the most common broadcast media file and audio formats in use today. For compressed audio formats that include metadata (for example, Dolby E, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby Pulse), the DP600 can automatically set or correct the audio metadata parameter (see Figure dialnorm For audio formats that do not include metadata, the DP600 can automatically set or correct the parameter by referencing a user‐defined target level (see Figure dialnorm Content producers and broadcasters can reduce loudness complaints by using the DP600 to provide viewers with a consistent audio experience across programs, channels, and networks. Expanding upon the unique Dialogue Intelligence the Dolby LM100 Broadcast Loudness Meter, the DP600 normalizes the loudness of audio programs while preserving their original dynamic range. loudness of file‐based audio bitstreams coded in Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Pulse, and Dolby E, and validates and corrects the for decoding and reencoding the original audio bitstream. The DP600 also provides intelligent speech‐based loudness normalization for both PCM audio and MPEG‐1 LII audio. The DP600‐C provides faster‐than‐real‐time file‐based encoding, decoding, and conversion between all of Dolby’s audio formats (Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Pulse, and Dolby E), and PCM, MPEG‐1 LII, AAC, HE AAC, and HE AAC v.2, while preserving the audio metadata. In addition, it offers 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. The DP600 also supports Dolby Pro Logic for two‐channel matrix‐encoded content derived from multichannel source files. In very rare cases involving extreme loudness corrections that require gain, soft limiting will occur only ...
Page 14: Figure 1-1 Coded Audio With Metadata Analysis And Correction
Introduction Customers interested in enhancing two‐channel audio for use in 5.1‐channel applications can purchase an optional DP600 software upgrade that adds an intelligent file‐based upmixing capability. This unique process is based on a newly developed Dolby algorithm that creates a wider, natural‐sounding sweet spot. It also ensures that subsequent downmixing is free from artifacts typically found with other solutions. The upmixing process can be adaptively integrated into the same DP600 work‐flow profiles utilized for file‐based loudness correction, encoding, decoding, conversion, and transcoding.

Page 15: Work-Flow Integration
Work-Flow Integration You can integrate the DP600 into an existing file‐based network infrastructure as an intelligent processing node. In this environment, the DP600 adapts to your day‐to‐day operations and workflow, which includes: • Program ingest, audio transcoding and conversion, and quality control (QC): Newly ingested content can be routed through the DP600 for loudness analysis and correction, encoding, decoding, and conversion processes before being moved to your media storage library or play‐out server. • Postproduction: File‐based Dolby E, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby Pulse bitstreams can be encoded and decoded to and from multichannel . Broadcast . metadata chunk). File‐based media and audio assets can be analyzed, logged, and (if necessary) corrected in faster than real time before delivery to clients. • Ad insertion: Newly ingested ad content can be passed directly to the DP600 for loudness analysis and correction before it’s placed in your storage archive or ad server. • Video‐on‐demand (VOD): Customer‐facing VOD servers, as installed at cable and IPTV head‐ends, need to have their content normalized before it is made available to the public. This content can be supplied to the servers either directly, via an ingest department at the broadcaster or affiliate, or via satellite from one or more content aggregators. The DP600 can be installed at the content aggregator, normalizing content before it is sent (ʺpitchedʺ) over the satellite link. Alternatively, it can be installed at the head‐end, taking content that has either been ingested directly or caught from one or more pitchers and normalizing it before it is passed to the customer‐facing server. Work-Flow Flexibility and Ease of Use The Dolby DP600 platform supports several types of applications, including archiving, automated QC, content conversion, and media asset management; it offers considerable potential for integration with third‐party systems through an open application programming interface (API). To meet specific user requirements, you can control the DP600 and its processing engines ...

1.5.3 System Reset and Display Controls These recessed buttons are located behind the touch screen, above the CD/DVD‐ROM drive. If you need to press any of these buttons, use a nonconductive material, such as a toothpick. If you press the you cannot restart the system by pressing <Ctrl>+<Alt>+ <Delete> to restart. Always avoid restarting by disconnecting and reconnecting the power cables. You can use the 1.5.4 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 the status of the DP600’s four logical internal hard drives. The drive LEDs function as follows: Off (nonilluminated): Indicates a functional drive with no current disk access activity. Green: Indicates normal drive activity.

Introduction LEDs , , and configured as separate drives and do not have RAID backup capability. If any of these drives fail, the failed drives must be replaced, and any work orders in progress during the failure must be restarted. If one of the drive LEDs turns red, refer to Table failed. Typically, the DP600 automatically rebuilds the RAID array when one of the RAID drives has a problem or is replaced (with the power on). During the RAID rebuild process, LED blinks in red in half‐second intervals. When the rebuild process is complete, LED stops blinking. In some instances (for example, if you replace a non‐RAID drive), you must initiate the rebuild process manually, as described in Section If you replace both RAID drives, you also need to reinstall the DP600 software. In such a case, follow the instructions for a clean installation in Section software, the system automatically synchronizes the two RAID drives, re‐creating the original mirrored RAID array (manual rebuild not required).

Page 38 Using the DP600 Standard, Pinnacle Standard, and Omneon Standard Work Orders These types of work orders process audio on a file‐by‐file basis. You specify the path to the source file on your PC or anywhere on the network. You also specify a destination where you want to save the processed file. Pinnacle work orders are designed specifically for Pinnacle Systems specifically for Omneon server files and are incompatible with other formats. Hot Folder Work Order With this type of work order, you specify the path to a source folder on your PC or network where the audio files you want to process are located. The DP600 periodically looks for files of a specific type in this folder, which is controlled by the work order profile. The work order profile associated with your hot folder also determines how the DP600 processes the files. In addition, you specify the destination where you want to save the processed files. When the DP600 sees the specified file type in the source directory, it processes those files according to the current profile, and then saves the processed files in the destination folder. Note: You can link only one work order profile with a single hot folder. However, you can create multiple hot folders, each with a different profile.

Page 57: Chapter 3 System Maintenance
This chapter explains how to maintain the Dolby you how to diagnose and repair hard drives and power supplies. Maintaining the DP600 Hard Drives 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 the status of the DP600’s four logical internal hard drives. The drive LEDs function as follows: • Off (nonilluminated): 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. LEDs , , and configured as separate drives and do not have RAID backup capability. If any of these drives fail, the failed drives must be replaced, and any work orders in progress during the failure must be restarted. If one of the drive LEDs turns red, refer to Table failed. Typically, the DP600 automatically rebuilds the RAID array when one of the RAID drives has a problem or is replaced (with the power on). During the RAID rebuild process, LED 1 blinks in red in half‐second intervals. When the rebuild process is complete, LED 1 stops blinking. In some instances (for example, if you replace a non‐RAID drive), you must initiate the rebuild process manually, as described in Section If you replace both RAID drives, you also need to reinstall the DP600 software. In such a case, follow the instructions for a clean installation in Section software, the system automatically synchronizes the two RAID drives, re‐creating the ...

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 Section 3.1.2. If you replaced a non‐RAID drive, rebooting and manual rebuilding is required, as described in Section 3.1.2. 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 Section a clean installation and the system automatically synchronizes the two RAID drives, re‐creating the original mirrored RAID array (manual rebuilding not required). 3.1.2 Rebuilding a Drive To rebuild a DP600 hard drive: Place the DP600 in an idle state by halting all work orders being processed.

Page 79: Appendix B Dp600 Program Optimizer Detailed Profile Descriptions
Understanding DP600 Profiles A DP600 profile defines a set of actions and processes on a specific type of source file, which includes specific actions on any or all audio data types and the configurations contained within them (if applicable). Following are some important points to remember regarding DP600 profiles: Note: DP600 profile information is updated periodically. For the latest information on DP600 profiles, please go to the DP600 area on The DP600 profiles and processes always expect and are capable of providing multichannel 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 (single‐channel monophonic) input files that (together) comprise a complete multichannel audio program. However, the DP600 does support single‐channel monophonic files that do represent a complete audio program. For any DP600 profiles that expect a PCM 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 or all Dolby metadata parameters (on a file‐by‐file basis). All decoder‐related profiles that output PCM (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 example, a source file name such as DP600_test-corrected.mpg The Dolby metadata chunk specification is available upon request.

Page 80 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: -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 Note: The .aiff 4294967296 bytes (that is., 4.29 GB).
