DP600 Solution

Replace your E.O.L. DP600 with Engine

Introduction

Designed for cable, satellite, IPTV, terrestrial TV, radio, and post-production facilities, the DP600 offers a file-based workflow solution for loudness correction, audio conversion, and upmixing. The DP600 enables encoding, decoding, conversion, and transcoding between various Dolby formats. These formats include Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby E bitstreams.

With the DP600 being heavily integrated into broadcast media supply chains, when it was announced by Dolby in 2014 that the DP600 would be E.O.L, it created a scenario where broadcasters either had to update their workflows or risk a loss of transmission when their DP600 fails. A mistake that many broadcasters cannot afford.

This has led to many broadcasters needing to update their media supply chains. Since the creation of the DP600 the media world has increasingly adopted a file-based supply chain instead of the older hardware-based approach. This however left a hole in the media supply chain where broadcasters required a software-based approach to their Dolby Encoding and Decoding.
