Figure 3-1 

AERO.mobile general application

The second processor in AERO.mobile has the ability to accept stereo, dual channel 
mono, or single channel mono. It can also turn a stereo program into mono. This can be 
helpful for dialogue only programs by allowing the mobile audio encoder to be run at a 
lower bitrate. The second processor can also be commanded to switch the main program 
in place of the secondary program.

3.2

Standard plus Mobile Application

Figure 3-2 shows how an AERO.mobile can be installed alongside a new or existing 
AERO.air or AERO.one main channel audio processor. Since it is likely that the video en-
coders for both the mobile and the standard DTV channels will be located near each other, 
this is a likely scenario.
