4.2 Connecting audio from a cinema server with an RJ-45 output
You can configure the audio on the Dolby Accessibility Solution Server using the RJ-45 connectors.
Procedure
1. Connect the AES channel 1-8 end of the audio Y-cable to the media block or digital cinema server, and
then connect the RCA cable end to the CH 7-8 input on the Dolby Accessibility Solution Server.
Note:
Typic
ally, the accessibility tracks are on channels 7, 8, 15 and 16. The audio Y-cables are designed
to pass channel 7 for HI, channel 8 for VI-N and channel 15 for SLV to the Dolby Accessibility
Solution Server. If you are using any audio mapping in the digital cinema server to remove audio
signals from channels 7, 8, 15 or 16, then the audio Y-cables will not function in your scenario. We
recommend that you leave channels 7, 8, 15 and 16 unchanged. Alternatively, you could build an
audio Y-cable that matches your setup needs.
2. Connect the AES channel 9-16 end of the second audio Y-cable to the media block or digital cinema
server, and then connect the RCA cable end to the CH 15-16 input on the Dolby Accessibility Solution
Server.
3. Connect the AES Ch 1-6 out end of the audio Y-cable to the AES channel 1-8 input on the cinema audio
processor. Connect the AES Ch 9-14 out end of the second audio Y-cable to the AES channel 9-16 input on
the cinema audio processor.
In case the AES channel 1-6 or 9-16 ends of the audio Y-cable cannot reach the audio processor, a coupler
is provided to extend the Y-cable.
If the cinema audio processor AES input is a 25-pin D-connector as opposed to RJ-45, then you will need
to use a 25-pin D-connector to RJ-45 adapter. The 25-pin D-connector to RJ-45 adapter comes unpinned.
You may need to consult the cinema audio processor documentation AES audio input information to pin
the adapter.
These audio Y-cables route channels 1-6 and channels 9-14 to the cinema audio processor and routes
channels 7 and 8 and 15 and 16 to the Dolby Accessibility Solution Server.
