Critical monitoring of your signal is essential to ensure that the highest quality audio reaches your listeners at home. As our reference decoder, the Dolby® DP564 is the ideal monitoring tool for all quality-control applications. Using the DP564, you can decode and monitor programs with Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Surround EXTM, Dolby Pro Logic®, and Pro Logic II, as well as regular two-channel PCM soundtracks.
There are three digital inputs (one a ToslinkTM optical) and an Ethernet port for RTP streaming Dolby Digital audio. A linear timecode (LTC) output allows DVD facilities to check A/V sync between audio encoded in Dolby Digital and uncompressed video. Front- and rear-panel serial interfaces, along with the Ethernet port, facilitate software remote control (supplied) and software updates via a PC. A rear-panel GPI/O port also offers remote control from the Dolby Cat. No. 549 GPI/O controller or other external source.
