  • Digital Multichannel Audio
    MULTICHANNEL AUDIO DigitalMultichannel audio — live transmission of Prix Europa concert in Dolby AC-3 by RBB, and in Dolby E via the Eurovision Network The Eurovision network is continuing its evaluation of different technical options for multichannel audio (MCA) and, in October 2004, it broadcast a live concert from Prix Europa in Berlin using the Dolby E format. The 5.1 surround sound production was carried out by the German radio station RBB Radio Multikulti in Berlin. Part I of this article describes some of the problems in a 5.1 live mixing situation and how the mix was transported via a wide-area network to the satellite uplink in Potsdam for multicast distribution. In addition, some current issues on DVB signalling and set-top box compatibility are discussed, and a perspective on lessons learned for the future is given. Part II reports on the experience gained by the EBU from the Prix Europa 2004 Dolby E experiment. It also describes the technical and operational aspects of the trial in some detail and gives a short description of Dolby MCA technology. Part I Nikolaus Löwe RBB, Berlin From 16 to 23 October 2004, Radio Berlin Brandenburg (RBB) hosted the annual Euro- pean television, radio and Internet festival Prix Europa. It was opened on 16 October with a concert by the Danish band Oriental Mood at the RBB broadcasting house in Berlin. The festival’s opening concert has always been transmitted live on radio.

  • Loudness and Dynamic Range in Broadcast Audio
    AUDIO LEVELS Loudness and Dynamicin broadcast Range audio — the Dolby solution Tony Spath Dolby Laboratories, Inc. Digital delivery media offer a wider dynamic range for audio than their analogue predecessors. This entails adopting a larger difference between the average levels (and thus the implied loudness) and the signal peaks. Although it is possible to implement this larger difference in a TV station or media studio, problems will occur in the home – due to inconsistent loudness and electrical levels within the consumer receivers and audio equipment. The audio delivery system, Dolby Digital ™, includes specific tools to overcome these problems, while allowing the full dynamic range of digital audio to be delivered. These tools – Dialogue Normalization and Dynamic Range Control – are described here with particular reference to digital TV. Reference levels and loudness Audio levels (such as programme loudness, peak programme levels and reference levels) are typically meas- ured as a decibel ratio. Broadcast audio engineers are nearly always dealing with instantaneous or short-dura- tion signal levels in programmes; historically, the motive will have been to be aware of how much headroom the system has over the audio peaks, and how far from the system noise floor are the details in the audio signal. This has led to a well-known set of reference levels – e.g. 0 VU, 0 dBu, 20 kHz RF deviation – which are used to line up a signal path for unity gain, and a set of metering practices and standards against which the audio signal in question can be measured. For example: ! 0 dBm (where m is 1 mW into 600 Ω); ! 0 dBu (where u is 0.775 VRMS); ! PPM 4 on a BBC peak programme meter (the peak level produced by a 0.775 VRMS sine wave); ! 100% on a European peak meter (corresponds to +6 dBu).

  • Dolby Laboratories Inc
    Productivity Commission Inquiry into Broadcasting Submission by: Dolby Laboratories Inc. San Francisco, CA November 29, 1999 Dolby Laboratories Submission to the Productivity Commission Nov. 29, 1999 1. Preface 1.1 Dolby Laboratories conceives, designs, develops and deploys audio signal processing products and technologies. The company manufactures professional audio equipment for the motion picture, broadcasting, and music recording industries. Dolby also licenses audio signal processing technologies for a wide variety of entertainment applications in the consumer electronics and computer industries. Providing the best possible audio for any entertainment environment, including music, movies, television and multimedia, is Dolby Laboratories’ principal mission. The privately held company is headquartered in San Francisco, with offices in New York, Los Angeles, Shanghai, Tokyo, and European headquarters in England. 1.2 Dolby has studied the Productivity Commission’s draft report on Broadcasting, as well as many of the submissions that provided information to the Commission. We believe that some of the information provided to the Commission is incorrect, and that the draft report contains inaccurate statements about Dolby AC-3 audio. Dolby Laboratories appreciates this opportunity to provide factual information for consideration by the Commission. 1.3 Three mischaracterizations regarding Dolby AC-3 technology are particularly egregious, namely: • that it is “proprietary” • that it adds significant cost to decoders • that inclusion of AC-3 is not “true DVB” 1.4 AC-3 technology is an international standard, and Dolby has made the customary commitment to open and fair licensing. The cost of AC-3 decoder circuit implementations is currently low, and is rapidly becoming negligible as decoder chips become more highly integrated.
