Dolby to Introduce Several Products

Dolby Laboratories will unveil several broadcast products. Dolby Pro Logic II, its surround technology for HD Radio, will also be highlighted.
The Dolby DP600 Program Optimizer controls automated file-based loudness analysis and correction; it also encodes and decodes Dolby technologies.
Terrestrial, cable and satellite broadcasters will have the ability to normalize the loudness file-based programming and commercials automatically without impacting the original dynamic range, according to the manufacturer. Programs can be normalized by correcting metadata values or scaling the audio signal itself to a target loudness level.
The company says its new Cat No. 561 Dolby Digital Plus OEM Encoder Module is the first Dolby Digital Plus encoder designed for integration into third-party manufacturers’ audio/video products. The module gives broadcasters real-time, multistream, and multichannel encoding for Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus formats.
Dolby will showcase the Dolby Media Producer, a suite of professional audio mastering software used in the creation of DVD and high-definition disc media.
