The C8612 is a module fitting into the C8000 Modular System concept developed by Junger Audio. Configuration and operation are performed via Web Interface. The C8612 offers encoding of a 5.1 program and a separate 2.0 program into Dolby® Digital (AC3 ) or Dolby Digital+ streams. The module is part of our integrated 5.1 & Dolby processing chain enabling within the C8000 frame to cover the complete process for surround signals processing: From audio extraction (wherever it comes) to Dolby decoding, audio processing, re-encoding in the appropriate Dolby format and re-embedding or routing to the desired output. One of its most interesting features is the possibility to use the metadata coming with the audio input in one combined stream from upstream devices in the C8000 system ( De-embedders, decoders , audio processors). This way, there is no external Metadata path necessary. Dolby metadata can be selected in three different ways, from input, preset or extern. Metadata can be displayed, edited and stored. Applications are broad but cover mainly emission and distribution systems, master control switches, Studios, etc.
