Using Dolby E Media
Dolby
®
E is an audio coding technology created by Dolby Labs that compresses up to 8 channels
of audio and metadata into 2 channels. This enables the distribution of multichannel audio within
a stereo track or on two mono tracks which you can then use in your Avid editing project.
Dolby E support is available for Avid systems using the following Avid hardware: Avid Nitris
DX and Avid Mojo DX.
The workflow for using Dolby E clips includes the following steps:
• Select the “Keep Dolby E Material Safe” setting in the Audio Project Settings dialog box to
ensure the capture of Dolby E media.
• Use the Capture tool to bring Dolby E media into your project. A Dolby E Safe button in the
Capture tool indicates that your audio settings protect Dolby E media information.
