Dolby Metadata
Dolby Metadata describes the encoded audio and conveys information to control downstream equipment.
Metadata is usually carried in the Dolby Digital or Dolby E bitstream, but can also be carried as a serial
data stream between Dolby E and/or Dolby Digital equipment.
In the Teranex 3D, Dolby Metadata may be derived from incoming Dolby audio, if a Dolby decoder
is installed, and may also be input as serial data via the 9-pin Dolby Metadata connector on the rear
of the Teranex 3D. You may also generate your own metadata in the Teranex 3D by using one of the
two commonly used configurations provided in the Dolby Metadata menu, Stereo and 5.1. See the
configurations assigned by each in the table below. The variations between the two configurations are
shown by bold text.
The Dolby Metadata menu provides for:
 Pass-Thru - If your Teranex 3D also contains a Dolby Decoder module, any metadata derived
from the decoded Dolby stream will be reinserted in the Dolby encoded output.
 External - To add metadata from an external metadata generator to your Dolby encoded
output, connect the generator to the 9-pin Dolby Metadata connector on the rear panel.
 Stereo - Pre-configured Metadata for Stereo output.
 5.1 - Pre-configured Metadata for 5.1 encoding, typically used with Dolby Digital encoding.
