D*AP8 MAP

Introduction

The MAP is a monitoring processor, assembled from the generic digital audio processor D*AP8 that runs the
MAP firmware and an optional X*AP RM1 remote panel. The bundle is designed to ease the quality
monitoring of surround and stereo signals for producers, editorial staff and engineers especially when it
comes to Dolby encoded signals.

For level and loudness measurement and logging applications the D*AP8 unit may be used as a
measurement box that sits close to the signal sources while measurement data will be streamed over the
network to a PC for live display and/or storing of such data.

A sophisticated audio processor at the heart of the MAP works. It renders the monitoring facility, audio
delays, speaker bass management as well as level and loudness measurements.

A Dolby metadata generator is provided for emulation of the influence of metadata on PCM audio signals
directly from the monitoring section of a mixing console. For live and post production it allows you to hear how
the metadata will influence the listening experience on the customers side without introduction of an
encoder / decoder. The emulation part incorporates a Dolby stream decoder. An optional Dolby consumer
format or a Dolby-E encoder can be added to the device.

The four AES3id I/Os on the motherboard may be complemented by a variety of interface modules that can
be installed as an option into the D*AP8 interface slots. For the MAP standalone application normally one slot
will be fitted with the eight channel analog speaker interface card.

Comprehensive routing set-ups allow almost every signal flow from hardware inputs, from and to optional
Dolby decoder / encoder, from the audio processor itself to the speakers, to hardware outputs as well as the
metadata I/Os, the metadata generator and the metadata emulator.

Routing paths, the enabling and disabling of audio processing blocks and the setting of processing
parameters can be pre-configured by individual presets dedicated to each function block. The content of the
presets can be displayed and edited off-line while the device is in use. These presets may either be recalled
on demand by the operator via the GUI, the X*AP RM1 remote panel hot keys or external systems, but may
also be part of complex scenarios defined by the administrator and automatically executed by the event
manager of the device or by operator intervention.

The MAP provides a web based setup GUI and can be controlled by an X*AP RM1 remote panel that
displays status and metering information and allows user intervention.

Junger Audios application manager J*AM is available as an add on and can be attached with a few simple
clicks to the MAP so that users can log loudness data as well as display it as a live plot on a PC screen in
real time or simply display level bar graphs. For production / post-production needs a built-in LTC reader will
be available in the near future. So loudness logging may then be performed in regard to relative time as well
as to time of day.

Completing the feature set of the MAP is the availability of an SNMP agent, which provides traps and status
polling.

As with most advanced tools, the MAP can be driven in a variety of ways, depending on requirements and
ideas of the user. These can range from simple and straightforward to quite complex set ups.
Although this manual explains the functions and general operation of the MAP, it does not give detailed
scenarios because the operational needs of today’s broadcasters vary so widely between organizations and
their work flows and cover so many different parameters – from ingest to studio operation, from master
control rooms to play-out, or even rebroadcast applications.

Junger Audio is more than happy to discuss your particular requirements with you and to convey your ideas
and solutions to other users of the Junger Audio Processors community.

Hardware concept

The MAP consists of a D*AP8 unit with MAP firmware that carries all relevant connectors and an optional

X*AP RM1 remote panel both in 19" 1RU format.

D*AP8 unit front panel view

The front panel of the D*AP8 MAP has a three line status display and two hidden touch buttons ~ 2.5cm left
of the display. Button 1 = Home will switch back to the power up display no matter which display level you
are in. Button 2 controls the multi level display:

Level 1 Power up display [Device type, firmware version]
Level 2 Status [OK / Error] / Device Name / IP address
Level 3 IN peak meter (10x)
Level 4 OUT peak meter (10x)

The total number of display levels depends on the number of programs. For 5.1 + 2 mode (two programs) we
will have four more levels while for 4 x 2 (four programs) we will have eight more levels:

Level 5 - 8 Program 1 - 4 Out - short term loudness
Level 9 - 12 Program 1 - 4 Out - integrated loudness and integration time

The measures of the loudness displays depend on the setup of the respective loudness mode
(see AUDIO PROCESSOR > SETUP > Loudness Mode).

Display background Green = hardware status OK
color Red = hardware status ERROR

X*AP RM1 front panel view

The X*AP RM1 remote panel is powered by POE (Power Over Ethernet) or external wall plug PS and
designed to control multiple D*AP8 units one at a time. For details of operation see extra manual
"XAP_manual_EN_140328.pdf" or later.

D*AP8 MAP

D*AP8 unit rear view

For fail safe operation the D*AP8 unit provides two independent power supplies. These power supplies
operate in load balance. The status of both PS are displayed on the D*AP8 unit front panel as well as on
the X*AP RM1 remote panel.

STATUS LED indicates the status of the device controller. It becomes green at the end of

a successful boot process

INIT / RESET pressing the INIT / RESET button briefly will warm start the device controller.
Holding down the button and release it until the STATUS LED did flash:
3 times initiates a cold start
4 times the device will be cold started with the previous firmware image
5 times will initialize the D*AP8 unit to factory default and will be cold started
Be patient it takes about 20 sec. Until the flashing starts.

LAN RJ45 socket for Ethernet connection to a LAN
USB USB 2.0 type B socket to connect the built in USB >> serial converter with an

external PC to reach the console interface of the system controller

Block diagram

The above schematic shows the principal blocks of a fully loaded MAP.
The core of the unit is the audio processor. It has 2x eight inputs, eight outputs and a 2ch downmix

AUX output. It controls the speaker setup and settings during the monitoring session.
The device also provides the measurement data (true peak, level, loudness) for external applications like the

J*AM (Junger Application Manager) for logging and/or display on a PC or tablett screen via the Log Ports.
The Dolby Metadata Emulation is a hardware option that comes with the Dolby decoder. It is a functional

block that may be connected to the respective audio input / output signals via the device router.
Same applies for the metadata pathes that must be routed separately.

A Dolby encoder may be fitted as an option as well to provide encoded output to save the customers rack
space and installation cost.

On the motherboard you will find 4x AES3id I/Os which are bridged by relays in case of a power failure.
This hardware fail-over may be disabled for each I/O pair by internal jumpers.

Two interface slots which may carry option boards allow for extremely flexible interfacing of the MAP.
One of the interface slots will normally be equipped with an 8-channel analog line output board for direct
speaker connection while the other willl normally hold a 3G/HD/SD-SDI option board for TV production
applications.

For comprehensive metadata processing the unit has serial metadata I/O connectors. All metadata functions
are centralized in a metadata generator. Furthermore you will have the possibility to emulate the influence of
Dolby metadata on the audio signals for stereo or surround signals and down mixes, without the need to
involve an encoder and decoder.

The sync circuit can deal with all formats to integrate the device into digital facilities. Other devices may be
synchronized via the word clock output of the MAP. The frame reference for D-E encoding, may be shifted to
align the D-E guard band.

The MAP has eight balanced GPIs and eight SSR closure GPOs. This enables the user to simply recall
presets or call events, change device configurations and report general status information.

D*AP8 MAP

Control concept

The communication between the X*AP RM1 remote panel, the D*AP8 unit, setup and operating tools, is
based on TCP/IP over Ethernet.

The setup GUI utilizes web technology. At the time of editing this manual the functionality of the web GUI is
optimized for Firefox 45.x and higher.

The setup GUI can be complemented by other application programs running on MS Windows® XP,
W7, 8, 10 like the J.A. Application Manager J*AM.

An SNMP agent is also available on the device and may be explored via a SNMP monitoring system.
For 3rd party remote control Junger Audio highly recommends using the l-s-b EmBER+ protocol which is

widely distributed in the European broadcast industry where the user community is rapidly increasing
world wide. By the way, the X*AP RM1 remote panel and the D*AP8 unit "talk" Ember natively.

Operating concept

Further below you will see that the setup GUI for the device is grouped into several parameter areas.
You can reach the parameters via a 3-tier navigation via tabs which may have sub tabs and sub tabs may
have page embedded tabs or extra soft buttons for groups of parameters.

Each function block (parameter area) has dedicated presets. The presets can be recalled at any time during
operation, either by manual intervention via the web technology based GUI, automatically by the internal
event manager or by external applications.

For all relevant settings an ON AIR and a PRESET part exists. I.e. you may either edit the parameters
ON AIR or offline for the respective function block of the D*AP8.

The presets of the D*AP8 MAP are persistent by nature. You are working directly on the preset memory, i.e.
you must not worry about storing such presets. The D*AP8 MAP does it for you.

Event concept

The D*AP8 MAP incorporates a sophisticated event management system.
Events may be combined to perform actions. The D*AP8 MAP offers these event types:

* Preset Events for System set-up, Interfaces, Routing, Audio Processing, Dolby related settings etc.
* I/O Events for GPOs
* Measurement Events for pre-configured measurement scenarios

These events may be combined with Actions which are fired by Triggers.
Triggers are defined by a logical combination (AND, OR, XOR) of two random trigger sources.

A trigger source may be GPIs, hotkeys of the X*AP RM1 remote panel, network commands, parameters,
other active events, other active triggers (nested trigger), or device status information (e.g. sync lost).

Getting started – IP setup in general

The process of installing a D*AP8 MAP into an IP network is as follows:

1. Ask the system service IT people for two unique IP addresses of the network,

for the netmask and if a gateway address is necessary

2. Assign the D*AP8 unit an unique IP address

You have two choices to assign the D*AP8 an IP address:
* From the serial console interface
* Via Web browser

3. Assign the X*AP RM1 remote panel a unique IP address configuration

4. Attach the D*AP8 unit to the X*AP RM1 remote panel

Important Note! If you are not familiar with setting up devices for IP communication, we highly recommend
you consult your system service or IT department to assist you.

Getting started – IP setup – via console interface

The tool to change the IP configuration of the D*AP8 unit can be selected via the console interface. You
must connect it with the PC via an USB A to B cable. This will install the driver for the built-in USB to serial
converter. Now you can open a terminal program. Here you must select the virtual COM port assigned by
the OS. The communication parameters are:

115200kBaud, 8, N, 1 no hand shake. Pressing <ENTER> will open the console menu:

Select item 2:

remote panel. This example has just one D*AP8 unit named "MonitorProc 3" attached for remote control
while the status is "connect" (i.e. you may connect with that device). See X*AP RM1 manual for details.

Pressing one of these buttons will connect with the respective D*AP8 MAP.
Now the X*AP RM1 remote panel will gather all necessary information from that D*AP8 MAP
(may take a few seconds) and open up the main operating display:

From here you may fire pre-defined hotkeys and observe the status of the volume setting.
Because this is the main operating display, the escape button will light up red to indicate that the power up
display is below the main operating display. Pressing <ESC> returns you back to the power up display
(device selection).

The hot keys may be programmed by the administrator of the device to recall global settings
(see EVENT management for details) and therefore may have dedicated names.

You must open a browser and enter the IP address of the D*AP8 unit
into the URL field and press <Enter>. The browser will fetch the necessary information and open the
entrance page:

The entrance page is the AUDIO PROCESSOR pane with its sub pane Overview. If you are returning from
other pages or if you reload your browser content by pressing <F5> it may show a different page due to the
caching of the browser.

In the top area you have several bar graph displays for the two inputs (Primary / Secondary) of the audio
processor, the measurement block and on the right hand side the level display of the audio processor outputs
which in fact feed the speakers most of the time.

The display is rounded up by two numeric representations for loudness measurement.

On the following pages we will go through the various panes to perform the basic setup of the device.
You must setup the synchronization source. You may also give the device a name, tell it its location and

define an administrative contact which may be used by monitoring systems of your company (e.g. via SNMP).
You must setup the installed interface modules and finally set the signal routing

You will find those settings under the SYSTEM link.

Setup GUI – SYSTEM - the preset concept in detail

The example above shows the preset concept of the D*AP8 MAP. It is a general feature of the device and
you will come across it in almost every area. For all relevant setting one set of ON AIR parameters and a
practically unlimited number of presets are available. The count depends on the NV memory space left.
If you want to load parameters from a preset to the ON AIR area or save parameters from the ON AIR area
to a preset, you must press <load>: or <save>:

A dialog opens to select the desired preset. When you press <ok> the selected action will be executed.
When you press on the little pencil icon the preset name turns italic and you may edit it.

To generate a new preset offline, you must click into the preset name box below the PRESET headline:

The pull down offers "Add Preset". If you click on that option a new entry to
the list will be generated. Clicking on the small trash bin symbol will delete
that preset. You may change the default name "Preset x" by clicking on the
small pencil icon. Now the default name becomes italic and you may edit
that name.

If you have selected the new preset or one of the existing presets indicated by the name displayed at the
top, you may edit the parameter values.

D*AP8 MAP

21

Important Note! The presets of the D*AP8 MAP are persistent by nature. You are working directly on the
preset memory, i.e. you need not worry about storing such presets. The D*AP8 MAP does it for you.
On the other hand you must be aware that you are overwriting the actual preset settings! If you want to
keep the original values (e.g. from a factory preset) you must simply copy the content of the existing one to
the clip board, add a new preset, name it differently and paste the clip board to it.

At the bottom of the PRESET part you will find the soft buttons to <copy> the content of that preset to the
clip board or to <paste> the content of the clip board into an other preset which you have selected before
pasting.

You may also <export> or <import> the preset content to / from a file.

Setup GUI – SYSTEM – Remote Access – X*AP Remote

General functions and pre-settings of the EVENTS system are obtained via remote access from the
X*AP remote panel or from the Mobile UI on a tablet or smart-phone or even via a separate browser session.

At the moment of connecting a particular X*AP with a MAP the X*AP configuration will be transferred to that

X*AP. I.e. configuration must take place at the MAP. You must decide here which feature set a particular
X*AP is allowed to control:

Multiple X*AP remote panels may gain access to the MAP.
For each X*AP you may pre-set Feature Sets.

At the moment is only a "Standard Set" available.
But soon you will be able to manage

Profiles.
Profiles will be set up in the EVENTS > Preset Events (Profiles) area.

They will combine a number of presets of several processing blocks.

IP Address In the first line you will define the access

policy for an "unknown" X*AP that
connects with this VAP for the first time.
The other lines are used to pre-define
features for known X*APs. When
enabling an unknown X*AP to connect
with this MAP, the respective IP address
will be inserted automatically into the next
empty line.

Setup GUI – SYSTEM – Remote Access – Mobile UI

For operator UIs on tablets, smart-phones or PCs you can assign the

Setup GUI – SYSTEM – Preset Cleanup

It is sometimes desirable to delete presets which are used by multiple events without going through all
processing blocks and deleting the respective presets one by one. This pane offers you a tool to delete
presets from a central access point:

You can sort the table by pressing on one of the column headlines. You can qualify your selection via the
"Type" selector and / or the "Preset Block", "Last Modified", "Linked to Event" column headlines.
The pull down lists allow reducing the number of presets displayed:

The soft buttons at the bottom left hand side may also be used to search through the table by sorting it
according to the first letter or leading number. The arrow buttons at the bottom right hand side can be used to
scroll through the table if the selection is too big for one page:

A selection is made by clicking on a line to activate the check box. Once you have made your selection
(highlighted lines), you can press the <delete> soft button to execute the process. This will remove the
selected presets permanently from the device.

The file to update the D*AP8 comes in ZIP format. You must unpack it to your PC's hard drive.
It contains also the manual a quick start guide the version history and a folder with the firmware for the
X*AP remote panel. The folder /base_unit_image contains the so called "image" file for the D*AP8. Here
an example: "rel_map_1_2_3-45678.img". It is a bundle that brings the latest firmware versions for all
interfaces and Dolby modules with it.

To update the D*AP8 MAP, you must <Browse …> for the respective firmware file (which you have
unzipped before) and press <start update>. If you do not want to upload all individual module firmware
files for any reason, you may take the "rel_map_1_2_3-basic-45678.img" file.
After finishing the update the device will automatically reboot

Important Note! After the update of the latest firmware image you must observe the Status messages
below the firmware version displays. If it indicates that you don't have the latest firmware installed you
should select the respective file via the drop down box and press the <start update> soft button
afterwards. But you can also upload an external file in case you need a specialized version for any reason
that is not contained in the uploaded firmware image.

Input Signal Status [OK / Fail]

Each AES input has a status detection that may show OK or Fail

(no carrier, unlock, cranky [too much jitter]).

This corresponds to the color of the soft LED (green / red).
Input Signal Type [Mute / PCM / Non PCM]

The Non PCM (e.g. Dolby encoded signal) status will be retrieved

from a logical combination of the Validity flag and the channel

status.
Important Note! The input signal status is logically combined and represented as part of the
System Status. If one of the inputs is not assigned by the ROUTING matrix, its status will not be
incorporated into the System Status. If non of the inputs is routed the Interface Status > AES I/O status soft
LED becomes grey.

Settings

Input Sample Rate For asynchronous sources it is possible to turn a SRC on per input.
Converter For asynchronous sources it is possible to turn a SRC on.

If an SRC is turned on and the input status becomes Non-PCM, the

SCR will be turned OFF automatically in order to maintain the

original data structure of the encoded bit stream (e.g. Dolby E).

Setup GUI – INTERFACES – SDI I/O interface – Local Routing

The SDI interface comes with a local routing matrix to shuffle audio signals from and to the system (device)
(i.e. to and from the central device router) and from and to the physical de-embedders / embedders.
The example below shows the default routing that sends all signals 1:1 from the physical de-embedders
[INTERFACE – SDI IN G1 CH1 … SDI IN G4 CH4] to the internal device matrix
[SYSTEM – SDI De-Embedder DEM 1 … DEM 16].
The signals from the device router [SYSTEM – SDI Embedder EMB 1 … EMB 16] are routed by default
1:1 to the physical embedders [INTERFACE – SDI OUT G1 CH1 … G4 CH4].

You must use the scroll bar to navigate through the matrix. In the upper left corner you can select between
the ONAIR and the PRESETS view of the matrix.

On the ON AIR page you will also see the device signal labels (see ROUTING section further below for
details).

Channel Linking [mono / stereo]
You can decide if the routing must be performed in mono or stereo mode

(where adjacent odd/even channels are routed at once).

You may select cross points by hovering with the mouse over the little squares and select / deselect cross
points with a left mouse button click. A trace that symbolizes the signal flow is shown.
The color of the respective squares changes:

Mouse over Color codes of cross points:

dark blue Possible new cross point.

orange You are about to reconnect a cross point.

grey Cross point is not allowed (i.e. routing will cause a loop and will not

therefore be performed) or dedicated input is not activated.

red You are about to disable a cross point

An animated signal flow will help you when navigating through the matrix.

The implementation of MADI for the D*AP8 is based on the option module O_DAP_MB (BNC) or
O_DAP_MO_MM (MADI optical multi mode fiber) or O_DAP_MO_SM (MADI optical single mode fiber).
Since the MAP is an eight channel processing device not all 64 MADI channels are available for device I/O.
The first 16 channels are available via the MADI local router to the device router.
They appear at the device router pane as MDIN 1 .. 16 and MDOUT 1 … 16.
These channels can be routed to and from any of the local routing sources MADIRX 1 … 64
and MADITX 1 … 64 respectively.

Setup GUI – INTERFACES – Dante I/O Interface – Status

The DANTE interface connects a D*AP8 to an audio over IP (AoIP) network. Junger Audio has
committed itself to the quasi industry standard DANTE developed by the company Audinate.

"Based on industry standards, Audinate created Dante, an uncompressed, multi-channel digital media
networking technology, with near-zero latency and synchronization … One cable does it all. Dante does
away with heavy, expensive analog or multicore cabling, replacing it with low-cost, easily-available
CAT5e, CAT6, or fiber optic cable for a simple, lightweight, and economical solution. Dante integrates
media and control for your entire system over a single, standard IP network."

The network infrastructure for AoIP must be able to handle the IP multicast. The recommendation is to
separate the control network from the audio network.

For details pls. refer to the Audinate web-site: https://www.audinate.com. Here you will find many useful
application videos and FAQs.

To configure such an audio network you need the DanteController software. You can download it from
the Audinate web site. People who want to interface a PC or MAC to such an audio network can use
the VirtualSoundcard software from Audinate. It provides standard audio drivers to connect with
common sound tools.

We highly recommend to read the Audinate documents to understand how to set-up and operate
a real-time AoIP network.

Looking at the rear panel the RJ45 connector on the left is the primary port while the second connector
acts either as a redundant or as a switch port. Both RJ45s have built in LEDs. The left one shows
network activities (flashing green) while the right one indicates the interface speed,
with green=1Gbit/s and off=100MBit/s.

Here you define the reference clock for this DANTE module.

Important Note! If this parameter is set to "Dante Network", the MAP must be synchronized to the same

clock as the network clock master (whoever it is). It must be set to "Dante Network" if this module is to
become the "Preferred Master" of the network.

Sync Status [Unlocked / Locked / Locked-Async]
The sync source for the DANTE interface is the DANTE network.

connected to a network it will be "Locked". If the D*AP8 is set to
synchronize to other than the DANTE interface it will show
"Locked-Async".

Setup GUI – INTERFACES – Dante I/O Interface – Inputs

The DanteController software gives you an overview of all members of such a DANTE network.
You can assign channel labels for the inputs (from the network to the device interface). Those labels will
automatically appear in the D*AP8 and will be displayed there.

Here is a glimpse on the GUI of the DanteController:

As an example you see here a "DAP8-LM" (name given by the Dante Controller) that has assigned the
labels DAP8-LM 2/1 … 2/16 for the inputs and DAP8-LM 2/1/1 … 2/1/16 for the outputs.
For the outputs you can assign up to 16 different labels used for multi layer routing.

Beside a few more devices on that network, we see the unfolded outputs of a DanteVirtualSoundcard
(VSC) named "VSC-MARTIN" on the upper right hand side. The top horizontal area shows the
transmitters while the receivers are shown vertically on the left hand side.

The outputs PCM 1 … PCM 4 from the VCS are assigned to the D*AP8 inputs DAP8-LM 2/1 … 2/4
while four outputs DAP-8 LM 2/1/1 … 2/1/4 are assigned to the VSC inputs 01 … 04.

D*AP8 MAP

We see the labels assigned by the DanteController software in the "Channel" column:

Inputs 16 inputs are pre-defined for the DANTE interface installed in a

D*AP8. They are organized in pairs and the input status is shown by

soft LEDs (green = PCM audio / yellow = non audio/ grey no audio).

Channel The labels assigned to that channel by the DanteController.

Dante Redundancy The DANTE interface allows redundant network operation.

Pls. refer to manufacturer's documentations of your Ethernet
equipment on supported switching configuration and redundant
operation.

D*AP8 MAP

39

Mode [Switched / Redundant]

Redundant – The interface will duplicate the audio traffic to both

Ethernet ports. Both ports must have different
IP addresses.

Switched – The secondary port behaves like an Ethernet switch

port allowing daisy-chaining through the interface.

I.e. IP configuration of the second port is only

available for redundant mode.

Important Note! When set to switched mode, do not connect both ports to the same network
(same Ethernet switch) if it does not support STP (Spanning Tree Protocol). This is the case for most of
the off-the-shelf (office) switches. Doing so will cause a race condition where IP packets are circling around
from the external switch to the second DANTE (switch) port and back via the first port. This will tear down
your network and may create a bunch of new "friends" in your facility.

Setup GUI – ROUTING

This is the core of the D*AP8 MAP because it defines the audio signal flow inside the device:

Each functional block of the device has a source- and a destination-label.
Vertically at the left hand side you will find the outputs of function blocks / hardware interfaces.
The labels are organized hierarchically. I.e. we have source group names like SPEAKER OUTPUT,
AES INPUT etc. and single channel (AKA mono) signal labels like DEMx [x=1 … 16] for the SDI de­embedder or SPKRx [x=1 … 8] for the speaker outputs of the audio processor.

Horizontally at the top of the ROUTING pane you will find the group names for destinations
like PRIMARY INPUT, AES OUTPUT etc. and their respective single channel labels like

PRIMx [x=1 … 8] for the first 8 audio processor inputs or feeds to the hardware interfaces, like
AESx [x=1 … 8] for the AES outputs.

If applicable the labels have bluish dynamical signal descriptors [e.g. 1L / 1R / 1C and so forth].
Green quads show active cross points. Due to the number of I/Os in total one must scroll through the

matrix to set or disable cross points. To give you an indication while scrolling of which outputs have an
active connection, red quads are shown in the top of the matrix beneath the output labels .

The matrix is organized for single channel (AKA mono) routing but it may also be controlled in
2-channel (AKA stereo) mode:

Cannel Linking [mono / stereo]

You may set cross points either in mono mode or pair wise for stereo routing

Setup GUI – DOLBY PROCESSING in general

The Dolby metadata system is quite complex to describe in detail in a product manual such as this.
If you are not familiar with it, we recommend you study the many publications from Dolby Inc.
Especially the Dolby Metadata Guide is essential for understanding the parameters.
For details please visit the Dolby web site:

http://www.dolby.com/gb/en/professional/technology/landing.html

We cannot guarantee that the link is active forever so you may browse other Dolby resources as well.
Specifically concerning metadata we also recommend the SMPTE document RDD6-2008.

So we must assume that you are familiar with this topic.
Metadata emulation means that Dolby metadata will be applied to listen to the effect of it without the need

for encoding / decoding that may become a costly setup and introduces a lot of latency.
The aim is to check the influence of the Dialnorm (dialog normalization) value and the DRC

(dynamic range control) settings.

Important Note! The D*AP8 platform is designed to operate an "all Dolby format" decoder and two
independent encoders A and B. Encoder B can be consumer format (D-D, D-D+, AAC) or Dolby E
professional while encoder A can be a second Dolby E. All solutions are based on the D*AP8 options
model and require extra hardware and/or licenses.

Setup GUI – DOLBY PROCESSING – Decoder/Emulation

The Decoder/Emulation functions are built from the Dolby OEM board CAT1100.
The graphic below illustrates the signal flow through it.

Important Note! The module must be routed into both the audio- and the metadata-signal paths.
In order to decode a Dolby stream you must feed it to input DEC1/2.
The metadata must be routed by the metadata router: DOLBY PROCESSING > Metadata > Routing.

The page embedded graphic shows the building blocks of the CAT1100 module. On the left hand side
you have the decoding blocks, a signal router in the middle, and on the right hand side you have the
downmix and the emulation part. You also can see the actual signal flow and their labels depending on
the input signal status.

The emulation of the influence of metadata can be performed only on one program at a time.
In the above case program 1 "P1" is pre-selected for emulation. But the signal is actually coming from
the D/D+ decoder because a D+ signal is present at DEC 1/2 input and will be decoded automatically.
The metadata set of the D+ stream has a channel mode of 3/2. Therefore the output labels show a
surround signal 1L/1R, 1C/1LFE, 1Ls/1Rs, while the downmix output label is Lx/Rx.

If you feed PCM signals you have the setup mostly used for live or post pro mixing. The MAP may be
connected to a monitoring insert of the mixing desk. The sound engineer can now switch between his
mix and the emulated version of his surround mix or the downmix of it. He may now change DRC and
downmix metadata by the generator to see how it would sound at home.

D*AP8 MAP

45

But he can also use external metadata from 9-pin input or from a SDI VANC stream which are routed to
the metadata generator.
(see DOLBY PROCESSING > Metadata > Routing > Metadata Destination = D.Sub In).

Similar applies if one wants to listen to the influence of metadata from encoded streams.
A professional decoder would normally not apply metadata to the decoded audio as a TV set or a STB
implementation would do. With emulation you can listen to it. This example shows a Dolby E decoding
situation with metadata for emulation coming from

the decoder: and alternatively from the generator:

The right hand scenario allows for partially or fully overwriting the encoded metadata
(see DOLBY PROCESSING > DECODER/ EMULATION > Emulation > MD Generator overwrites
encoded Metadata = ON)

Same applies to Dolby D / D+ decoding.
Metadata from decoder: metadata from generator:

A special application is Dolby Pro Logic decoding. The Pro Logic technology does not have metadata
like its younger digital family members. So in case a Dolby Pro Logic signal must be evaluated it will
be passed straight through to the Pro Logic decoder.
But you may also listen to the Lt/Rt downmix (the Pro Logic format) by decoding it.

Decoding of Pro Logic from PCM input: Pro Logic decoding from a D-E stream:

The configuration at the right hand side will only work if the channel mode of the selected program is
2/0. It will be used if the Dolby Surround Mode is set to "Dolby surround encoded" and one wants to
listen to the decoded surround signals.

The D*AP8 distinguishes between two major modes: Decoding (only) and Decoding/Emulation.
For the decoding part we have pre-settings for each decoding type. The format detection is automatic
so the desired general settings like DRC modes must be set manually prior to decoding.

Important Note! For parameter consistency reasons the preset editor can only be used for the respective
active mode of the ON AIR area. If the preset active mode does not match the one from ON AIR, preset
set-up is disabled and you will get the message "Setup not available for this mode".

that may be mixed automatically or by user intervention (depending
on the consumer decoder implementation).
This selection allows you to listen to the main program only, the
main and the associated audio description (AD) signals mixed
together or the associated audio descriptive (AD) signal only.
It works only for streams where two Dolby Digital plus elementary
streams are multiplexed (AKA single PID operation). For dual PID
streams you may listen to the main and the associated signals
independently only, because the Dolby OEM module has only one
decoder input.

AUTO=from Metadata, Lt/Rt (Pro Logic encoded), Lo/Ro (Stereo),

The decoding functions of the D*AP8 are implemented to meet all possible applications in the field.
Besides monitoring for QA, broadcasters use decoded consumer format (D-D/D+) streams for turn
around or backup applications. On the one hand they receive it from suppliers to add content to their
bouquet and on the other hand they must maintain older distribution systems (cable head ends)
which are based on AC3 encoding but (e.g.) are fed by D-D+. So often they can not / will not rely on
the received Dialnorm / DRC settings because they prefer to add automatic levelling and standard
DRC settings to all signals to have seamless loudness across their bouquet. That’s why we offer to
skip DRC & Dialnorm if it makes sense for the application.

Important Note! Metadata will be applied to the downmix output at any time. Either from the decoder or
from the MD Generator (if input format is PCM). The selection is only regarding the DRC profile which will
be used.

for home reproduction. That's why you will not get a display of such metadata from the Input if consumer
format streams are decoded. Similar applies to the professional metadata which is used to setup
consumer format encoders (e.g. filters) and which is not present in the metadata stream as well.

Setup GUI – DOLBY PROCESSING – Metadata – Routing

The center of the D*AP8 Dolby processing is the Metadata Processor. It can be the point of origin of
metadata but it may also modify existing metadata from available sources:

The metadata processor of the D*AP8 has a
maximum of seven metadata destinations
and four sources which can be routed
individually.

The Metadata Generator in the middle can
run independently but may take metadata
from an available source at the "Input",
may select some or all of it in the
"Follow Input" section and present a
complete set of metadata at the "Output".

Metadata Source Status - colors

The respective soft LED turns red if no
metadata is present or the metadata are
corrupted.
It turns green if a RDD 6 compliant
metadata stream is detected.
It turns yellow if an AC3 or similar (D-D+)
signal is decoded.

Metadata Source Status
[OK / Consumer / Fail / Not Available]
The word "CONSUMER" will be displayed to
indicate that only a metadata subset is

Metadata Destination [OFF / D.Sub In / SDIx - VANC (if present) / DECODER (if present)]
The destinations can have any of the system sources assigned except

of the emulation engine [MD Emulation].

Setup GUI – DOLBY PROCESSING – Metadata – Generator Setup

The metadata processor generates SMPTE RDD 6 standard compliant metadata. It supports the most
relevant program configurations for broadcast applications (5.1 / 5.1+2 / 3x2 / 4x2) used with Dolby E 16
or 20Bit bit depth. Since the number of programs from an external RDD 6 stream may differ from the
generator setup, "off-size" program configurations will be handled this way:

If the input program configuration has more programs (e.g. 4x2) than the generator setup (e.g. 5.1+2)
and you click on a "surplus" program (Program 3 or Program 4), only an Input table will be displayed
while for the other programs an input and an output table is shown.

If the input program configuration has less programs (e.g. 3x2) than the generator setup (e.g. 4 x 2)
and you click on a "surplus" program (e.g. Program 4), an empty input table will be shown.

If the metadata generator is set up for "Follow Input" and the input program configuration does not
match the possible ones of the metadata generator it enters the reversion mode.

The output from the metadata generator is the source for the emulator engine but may also be
selected for optional built-in encoders and for metadata transport interfaces like 9-pin (RS485) or
VANC (SMPTE 2020).

Metadata Bitstream Status [Metadata valid, Metadata not present]

Dolby D+ Parameters

Stream Type [Independent, Dependent]

The streams which are encoded by both encoders can either be

independent (i.e. there is no signal relationship of the audio signals)
or dependent (if you use both encoders to encode 8 audio channels for

7.1 encoding).

Stream Multiplexing [OFF (Dual PID) / ON /Single PID]]
Substream ID [1, 2, 3]

Since the encoded streams can be multiplexed by an on-board

multiplexer they must have individual (sub-) stream IDs,
so a de-multiplexer "knows" which data belong to which stream.
If there is no intention to multiplex them together, the MAP sets both
IDs to "0".

Audio Description Audio description service employs both encoders to allow for the so

called receiver mix. I.e. the mix between the program sound and the
narrator who performs the audible scene description can be done in
the decoder. This saves a lot of audio bandwidth compared to the so
called broadcast mix, where two independent audio mixes are
transmitted to the receiver at home.

Setup GUI – AUDIO PROCESSOR - Overview

The overview shows the active signal blocks of the audio processor, rendered by the DSPs.
This overview depends on the actual speaker configuration of the MAP.

Below an example for 5.1 + 2.0 (see SYSTEM > Setup > Speaker Configuration):

The processing blocks in use, which may be activated from their individual setup panes,
will be indicated in green. Blocks shown in grey are not activated by the user.

To navigate through the various processing blocks you may either use the mouse over function and
click on the respective block or use the tabs provides in the navigation bars below the bar graph
displays. The navigation is based on URLs so you may use the <Back> button of the browser to return
to this page.

Important Note! Don't be confused by the difference between speaker configuration and
the channel mode of a program. Both can be set differently and must not necessarily match.
E.g. you may configure the speaker set for 5.1 but listen to a stereo program via the left & right surround
speakers. On the other hand it makes no sense to listen to a 3/2L signal via a pair of stereo speakers
(except when you have selected the downmix ;-). You must always be careful to setup the router properly
to connect the correct audio channels with the primary or secondary input of the AUDIO PROCESOR.

Setup GUI – AUDIO PROCESSOR – Output – Bass Management

The Output block allows you to control the bass management, the speaker EQs and the speaker delay as
well as individual speaker gain settings, to adapt the speaker set to a given listening situation.

For a 5.1-channel monitor system with full-range speakers on every channel and a subwoofer, you may not
need bass management, and disable this feature. If no bass management is enabled, only the LFE
channel is sent to the subwoofer. But if your system consists of five satellite speakers and a subwoofer,
you can redirect the low frequencies from the five main channels to the subwoofer output:

The EQ section provides 5 fully parametric EQs for each speaker channel. The parameters may be linked
for set-up purpose only to ease settings of multiple speakers. The EQ setup may be either done by
numerical inputs and/or the graphical elements overlay above the frequency curve that results from the
combination of multiple filters. The below example has 3 filters involved:

Which section of the audio processor will be represented in the

graphical window above.

Speaker Set [1L/1R/1Ls/1Rs, 1C, 1Sub, 2L/2R]

Depending on the global speaker configuration (5.1+2 in this case)
and the link mode, you can make a selection here, to show and
control the EQ settings for groups of speakers of a particular
speaker set. You can also make the selection below by clicking and

as a consequence, highlighting a different set (or single speakers).
Enable [ON / OFF]
Here an example: The Link soft button shows the link set to <QUAD> for which the parameters are the

same. The column is highlighted (bluish) to show the coincidence between graphic window and
numeric parameters. Clicking on a different row (e.g. C) will highlight that column:

The active status of a hotkey or the result of a specific action will be high lighted by the bright color.
Below is an example where the action "Default Routing" was performed involving the hotkey
"My Routing", so both are shown as active:

If you press a hotkey the color becomes
medium bright immediately.
Since many actions (e.g. reconfiguration
of the MAP) may take a few moments the
status of a button finally turns bright to
acknowledge the action.

The buttons at the bottom let you scroll
though multiple pages to display all
assigned hotkeys and actions.

Setup GUI – MEASUREMENT

The MAP has an independent measurement block (see AUDIO PROCESSOR > Overview) that offers a
comprehensive loudness meter. The measurement data are available for external applications like the
Junger Audio Application Manager J*AM for bar graph level display or loudness over time plot or for
logging of such data.

In the top of the GUI you can read these metering data of a preselected source:

When you click on the little triangle over
here you will get a selection of the
measurement formats available:

This display also shows the duration
of the measurement. If the Speech Gate
is active for the Dialogue Intelligence™
algorithm, the numbers become yellowish
when the measurement has paused because there
is no speech detected for the moment.

The other two buttons will control the measurement:
|| <start> / <pause> / <continue>
x <reset>.

Setup GUI – MEASUREMENT – Setup

Dialog Level (Dialnorm) Measurement:
Beside the ability to measure loudness by above standards, the MAP offers the feature to measure the

long-term A-weighted average level of dialogue within a presentation. A Dolby Digital / Digital plus
consumer decoder (e.g. a Set Top Box) will normalize the output level to -31dBFS by applying a shift
based on the Dialog Level parameter setting. The rule is: -31 - (dialog level value) = shift applied.

Example (dialog level measured = -23dB): -31 - (-23) = -8dB shift applied.

The measurement data may also be streamed to the PC based J*AM (Junger Application Manager).
The J*AM is a graph display and logging tool that one can download from the Jungeraudio.com web
site. To perform loudness measurement and loudness logging one must buy a hardware (USB) dongle.

Setup GUI – MEASUREMENT – Log Port Routing

The MAP has four more
measurement facilities for
dedicated logging which you will
reach from the J*AM. The sources
you select for logging will be
measured, the measurement values
will be calculated and will be
provided for streaming over the
network to the J*AM.
Compared to other solutions this
saves a lot of bandwidth because
only measurement data are
transmitted and not the audio
samples themselves.

Similar to the general ROUTING all
relevant internal sources are
available for a Log Port:

You must keep in mind the
loudness measurement must be
performed over all audio channels
belonging to a program.

71

Setup GUI – EVENTS - Overview

As mentioned previously, the D*AP8 MAP offers a sophisticated event management system.
The event management system performs actions. These actions are built from events.
Actions may be triggered manually (via the X*AP RM1 remote panel Hotkeys), remotely (over the network
or via GPIs) and automatically (via changes of device parameters or internal status information)
or via a combination of all three.

The overview shows the building blocks of the EVENTS system of the MAP:

A trigger may be configured via a trigger equation (logically combined) from up to two sources. For both
sources you can define a trigger type and a specific source that is bound to the type. E.g. a GPI is a trigger
type while the hardware input (its input number) represents the trigger source. Other sources of specific
types like the X*AP RM1 Hotkeys must be configured before using it:

Remote Hotkeys You may assign hotkeys of the X*AP RM1 remote to become a

trigger source.

Network Received via the EmBER+ protocol designed by Co. l-s-b.
Parameters Device parameters / status information grouped into

system and Interfaces.
The MAP offers four different event types:

Preset Events for the System / Interfaces / Routing / Dolby Processing / Audio

Processor / Programs / AUX / Measurement

Parameter Events to control (external) measurements of the J*AM
Measurement Events to control the measurement block of the MAP
I/O Events for GPOs

D*AP8 MAP

72

The MAP has the action type – "Event Actions"

An action runs like a flip-book inside the MAP. This powerful technology spans from simply recalling
a certain system parameter over speaker or Dolby specific parameter combinations (household
name: "Preset") to the complete reconfiguration of the device including all signal routing, processing
parameters and so forth. It allows you to create your own snap shots where you decide what is part
of it and what is not! But it also enables several fail over scenarios where the MAP will automatically
react to the system and/or parameter status.

The steps to set up the EVENTS system are as follows:

1. Define - trigger sources

2. Configure - triggers by logical combination of the pre-defined trigger sources

3. Set up events - by selecting presets for function blocks

4. Create actions - which trigger will launch which event or what will happen in case someone presses
a function key at the X*AP RM1 or engages the <Force Trigger Active>
check box (see EVENTS

> Actions > Event Actions)

.

Setup GUI – EVENTS – Triggers – Sources – Remote Hotkeys

The Triggers tab opens the trigger setup pane that has 4 embedded sub tabs:

Sources: "Remote Hotkeys" / "Network" / "Parameters" and Configuration: "Trigger Equation"

<add trigger> You can add lines (number of entities of triggers) here.
# The number of the Hotkey. On the X*AP RM1 remote panel,

counting from left to right from 1 ... 8.

Label Each Hotkey may have a label that appears in the display of the

X*AP RM1 remote panel above that button and in the Mobile UI.

X*AP Remote [ON / OFF]

If you turn it off the respective Hotkey on the X*AP RM1 remote
panel becomes inactive - no label is displayed and the button
background light turns off.

Mobile [OFF / OFF/Divider / Enabled]
The buttons of the Mobile UI can be assigned an individual color.
You will get the bright color if the button is active and the dark color

if it is inactive. [OFF/Divider] acts as a place holder for a button that
is temporarily set to OFF.

<remove> will remove a line from the list. This will automatically disable the

respective front panel button.

D*AP8 MAP

73

Setup GUI – EVENTS – Triggers – Sources – Network

Network triggers are based on the EmBER+ protocol from Co. l-s-b http://www.l-s-b.de/uk
The MAP receives such triggers over the TCP/IP network. The triggers are issued by a device that has
implemented the EmBER+ protocol (e.g. VSM server, broadcast automation system). You may assign
these triggers to virtual panels as well as physical (e.g. LBP) buttons of a VSM installation. But also a
broadcast automation system may have an EmBER+ server running that will trigger events in the MAP.

# Number of a network trigger.
Label Label of that network trigger. It will be used on the

Configuration pane and serves as a reference for 3rd party

software implementation (e.g. broadcast automation systems).

As an example you see the name of the first Trigger "Movie".

<remove> will remove a line from the list.

The name of the respective trigger may be selected via an EmBER+ enabled device to fire that
trigger. By means of a setup tool you must configure such network triggers in order to remote control
the D*AP8 MAP. You will find the Ember+ protocol details, the implementation guidelines as well as
an example here: code.google.com/p/ember-plus/

Below is a screen shot of the EmBER+ viewer tool:

In the EmBER tree you go to:
"Device" > controller_dsp > network_trigger > parameters > e.g. "idx_1"
As a value you will receive the trigger name from the MAP.

In this example it is the trigger named: "Movie".

D*AP8 MAP

74

Setup GUI – EVENTS – Triggers – Sources – Parameters

Above is an example of parameter trigger sources. The phrase <multiple values> indicates that more
than one value of the parameter "Status" is bound to that trigger source:
If you click into the "Expression 1" box you see two greenish marked entries.
I.e. if one of these values is true, "Expression 1" is true.

Setup GUI – EVENTS – Triggers – Configuration – Trigger Equation

To form a trigger you may logically combine two trigger sources:

Trigger Here you define a name for the trigger ("Trigger 1").
Source 1 The first source of a logical combination of two trigger sources.

Invert [ON / OFF]

If the type of trigger allows an inverted operation it can be defined here.
Type [GPI / Hot Key, Network / Parameter / Event active / Trigger effective/

Bypass / Sync Lock]

Source [1 … 8]
It acts like an index for the trigger type (In case of GPI it is the physical

GPI number or in case of X*AP RM1 Hotkeys it is the key number ….

Logic [and / or / xor]
The kind of logical operation.

Source 2 Second source for the logical combination of two trigger sources.

If only one source exists, you may leave it unassigned [-].

D*AP8 MAP

75

Setup GUI – EVENTS – Events – Preset Events

A Preset Event is a group of presets you may load on one occasion to the On Air parameters of function
blocks. When executing such an event you may for example change the routing, the Dolby processing, the
metadata set-up etc. by simply assigning the individual preset of your choice to the system, to an interface,
to the routing, to the program path or even to the measurement. This picture shows an excerpt from the
Preset Events pane where a few presets are pre-selected for the event: "AutoDecPstE". Due to the number
of function blocks the screen shot is split in two columns:

Pull down list of all presets available for the
Decoder / Emulation function block.

If no preset is selected you will get a dash in the drop down field. Some function blocks (e.g. AES I/O) even
have no preset assigned at all at the moment so there is no drop down box.

D*AP8 MAP

76

The Preset Events allow you to reconfigure the MAP completely, partially or to change a few audio
parameters marginally.

You are also able to create a new preset event semi-automatically by pressing <create event>:

Event name [New Event] default
A unique name to address this

preset event later in the action
manager.

.

Use Settings from [On Air / Existing Event / Empty]

"On Air" The events manager will copy

all On Air parameters to

new presets for the function blocks,

depending on the
"Include these Blocks"
check boxes.

"Existing Event" The presets of the selected event

will be copied to the new event and
may be tuned afterwards to form a
different event.

"Empty" Creates a set of empty boxes where you may select the preset of

your choice for the respective function block or leave it empty if no
changes are needed …

Include these Blocks: [System / Interface / Routing / Dolby Processing /Audio Processor]
Defines which blocks will be part of the creating process.

Important Note! This is the way to create a snap shot. The automatically created presets in all respective

function blocks will be given the (same) name of this event. So you must be careful when selecting names!

Setup GUI – EVENTS – Events – Parameter Events

Right now the MAP supports parameter events to remote control the measurement / logging related
features of the J*AM:

The above example selects the category "Measurement" with its sub category "Loudness".
From the list of possible parameters, the setting of a marker "J*AM Marker – Log Port1" has been
selected. This marker will appear in the log file if that preset event is executed. When you press

<create event> these choices are provided:

Event Name your choice

In the "Mobile" column you can define whether the action may be turned on via a soft button of the
Mobile UI. You can assign a specific color for that button.

D*AP8 MAP

79

Setup GUI – EVENTS – Actions – Event Actions – Factory Defaults

Above you see the factory default EVENTS > Actions that come with the D*AP8 MAP.
They are prepared to ease the setup of Dolby processing functionalities of the device.
All 5 actions may be triggered manually from the X*AP RM1 remote panel.
See the "Remote Hotkeys" settings below:

The remote hotkeys are used by the following "Trigger "Equations":

I.e. the trigger named "AutoDecoderTrig" will be fired if one depresses the hotkey # 1 that is named
"AutoDec". That name appears above the first hotkey of the X*AP RM1 (see page 10).

On the page EVENTS > Events > Preset Events you see the combinations of individual presets for
each of the factory default "Preset Events". Below are two examples of such preset events:

"AutoDecPstE" (automatic decoding) "MDOvrPstE" (Metadata overwrite)

D*AP8 MAP

80

In the examples above you can see the difference is the respective Decoder / Emulation preset.
The audio routing: "DolbyRouting01", the metadata routing: "MDRouting01", the metadata generator
setup: "MDGenSetup01" and the metadata presets for program 1: "MD3/2L"
and program 2: "MD2/0" are the same in both cases:

Audio routing (see ROUTING) assumes that you connect the D*AP8 MAP via the AES
inputs / outputs to a mixing desk. If you have connected analog speakers for a QA room, the outputs
are also routed to the analog interface card. If you have installed an SDI module, the decoder
outputs are sent to the SDI embedder. The SDI de-embedder outputs are conneted with the
secondary input

Important Note! If you receive the audio via SDI instead of AES you must probably modify that preset.
Pls. don't forget to adjust the SDI embdder / de-embedder routing accordingly so audio channels
appear in the correct position (e.g. encoded Dolby E must end up at decoder input 1/2 for decoding).

Metadata routing (see DOLBY PROCESSING > Metadata > Routing) connects the metadata
output of the decoder to the metadata generator input. The metadata generator output is connected
to the "D Sub Out" and "SDI1 – VANC" (for embedding).

Metadata generator setup (see DOLBY PORCESSING > Metadata > Generator Setup).
The generator program configuration is set to "Follow Input", reversion mode to "preset" and the
reversion program configuration to "5.1 + 2".

Metadata presets Program 1/Program 2 (see DOLBY PROCESSING > Metadata > Program 1 / 2)
are set to the values recommended by for FIFA World Cup 2014 for the international sound track
and used by HBS.

Below you see two of the five parameter sets that will be loaded by their presets for the
Decoder / Emulation processing block. The respective preset name is displayed in grayish
above the active mode display:

"AutoDecoder" "OverwriteMDEmu"

To round up the explanation of the factory default actions settings, here is the content of the metadata
preset "MD3/2L":

You can see that the emulation is turned on and that "MD Generator overwrites encoded Metadata"
is activated at the Decoder/Emulation pane.

Technical Data - GPI wiring

The device offers a unique circuitry to save GPI setups from hum and noise influence in complex
installations. Here the principle circuit of one of the eight GPI inputs:

At the GPI input is a bridge rectifier I.e. you do not need to care about the polarity of the input voltage. A
constant current source in line with the optical coupler limits the current.
You must simply provide a voltage in the range from 5V to 30V to activate a GPI.

If you have open collector outputs or simple relay closures as the driving GPOs (this technique is commonly
known as "low active" and will be found in most legacy equipment),
you must wire up an auxiliary voltage supply.

The device provides such auxiliary power supply. It offers a balanced 5V source that you can imaging
as a battery.

Here an example how to wire up GPI #4:

We strongly recommend to spent a wire for ground connection instead of using the chassis common grounds
of an installation.
