Specifications and requirements
The Dolby Object Authoring Tool DP590 is a part of a multiple-unit system that includes the
Dolby Audio Encoder DP591 and Dolby Reference Decoder DP580. The products work
together to enhance the audio experience of the viewer during live TV broadcasts. The DP590
creates user-defined presentations from a combination of beds and dynamic objects along
with positional and gain metadata. The DP591 receives dynamic metadata from the DP590,
and encodes the metadata with source PCM signals as usable audio signals for other
components in the broadcast stream. The DP580 also decodes and renders the signal using
Dolby technologies as appropriate for reception by a TV or set-top box.
