Obtaining a License
To obtain approval of your product incorporating Dolby
®
Professional Loudness Metering and Correction solutions and activate your
license, you must complete the following steps:
1. Email [e-mail] and request the Questionnaire for Prospective Dolby Licensees form. This form will be
emailed to you as an interactive PDF, which you can ll out onscreen. Please complete the form in English, then submit it to us.
We will notify you after processing the form, and we will send a sample PDF agreement for you to review and approve. The appro-
priate agreements will subsequently be sent to you to review and sign, along with an invoice for the one-time licensing fee.
2. When you return the signed agreements and payment to us, we will countersign and return the executed agreements to you. To
help you develop your product, we will provide a development kit with a variety of support materials and procedures, and assign a
Dolby engineer to assist you.
To develop and test your product, you must have the following equipment:
• Professional soundcard with AES3/IEC 60958 multichannel digital input and output, capable of supporting 44.1 and 48 kHz
sampling rates. Please contact Dolby Laboratories to obtain information about recommended soundcards.
• Digital audio editing program (AEP) capable of recording and playing back .wav or raw PCM les, such as Adobe
®
Audition
®
or
Sony
®
Sound Forge
®
.
• For a product with an MPEG-2 Transport Stream I/O, a multiplexer and demultiplexer. These are needed for use with the
provided test signals.
3. Build and test a preproduction unit, then send us your test data for review. If your test data meets our requirements, we will ask you
to send us a unit that we can test ourselves. If the unit meets our requirements, we will approve your product for production and
sale, and activate your license.
Note: If governmental approval is required for your license agreement with Dolby Laboratories, we recommend that you preapply for
this approval toward the end of the licensing process to prevent delays.
