How Do I Decode and Monitor a Single Dolby Bitstream?
A single Dolby bitstream from the SDI or AES inputs may be monitored
continuously. The bitstream itseL doesn't have to be displayed on the Main Screen
meters. You may also monitor the Dolby metadata continuously.
Note:
The AMP2-16V must contain the optional Dolby decoder card in order to
decode a Dolby bitstream.
Setting up continuous Dolby bitstream monitoring is a two-step process, first
setting up the Decoder card and then setting up the monitoring channels. The first
step involves configuring the Dolby decoder card:

controls if necessary so that you see the data you need.
3.
Follow the instructions on the next page to select which meter channels you
would like to view the decoded channels on.
Now that you have connected a Dolby bitstream source to the Dolby decoder, you
need to connect the outputs of the Dolby decoder to the metering channels on
