Dolby Digital Plus is typically used as the final transmission audio format, so audio can be encoded just prior to transmission from the source PCM or Dolby E format.

Together with our professional equipment partners, we offer a variety of solutions that will get you on air, including ingest, encoding, transcoding, conversion, turnaround, QC, and test and measurement. Many of our partners build products for specialized functions that also include Dolby Digital Plus.
