Audio Encoding - GOLD Option
The audio GOLD option (-AG) is the most flexible and in typical cases also the most cost-effective audio-encoding option. With the audio GOLD option any number of AC-3 and AAC channels (mono, stereo or 5.1 surround) and any number of MPEG-1 Layer II channels (mono, stereo) may be encoded.
| Product Type | Option | Audio Encoding | Supported by | Price | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DTC-394-AG | -AG | Audio "GOLD" | € | 362 | ||
| DTC-395-AG | -AG | Audio "GOLD" | € | 606 | ||
Audio Encoding - Single-Standard Options
For certain applications with a limited number of audio channels, it may be useful to tailor the audio-encoding licenses to the exact number of channels required. For this purpose the audio licenses listed in the table below are available.
| Product Type | Option | Audio Encoding | Supported by | Price | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DTC-391-AAC (1..N) | -AACn | AAC-LC, HE-AAC | € | 68 | per point | |
| DTC-392-DD (1..N) | -DDn | Dolby Digital (AC-3) | € | 100 | per point | |
| DTC-393-MPA (1..N) | -MPAn | MPEG-1 Layer II | € | 46 | per point | |
Each mono service requires 1 point, each stereo service 2 points, and each 5.1 surround service 6 points. The total number of points must be even. The price calculator at the bottom of this page can be used to compute pricing and to check whether a particular configuration is valid.
Audio-Encoding - Limitations
On the DTA-2180, the following limitations apply to the audio-encoding configuration:
- The total number of mono- and stereo audio services may not exceed 8.
- For AAC and AC-3, a maximum of 2 surround services can be encoded. For MPEG-1 Layer II surround is not supported.
- 2 surround services can be combined with a maximum of 2 mono- and/or stereo services.
- 1 surround service can be combined with a maximum of 5 mono- and/or stereo services.
The limitations above also apply to the audio-encoding configuration of each encoder on the DTA-2182. On top of that:
- For AC-3 a minimum of 4 points is required.
The price calculator below checks these constraints.
Audio-Encoding - Calculator
The calculator below can be used for the following purposes:
- To check whether a certain combination of mono-, stereo- and 5.1 surround audio encoding is supported by the selected DekTec encoder card.
- To determine the best (lowest price) audio-encoding option(s) for achieving the requested combination of audio-encoding functions.
- To compute the list price of the bundle of DekTec encoder card with audio-encoding options.
