Abstract: The transition from 2 channel to 5.1 audio poses many challenges to audio distribution from the content producer to the point of emission coding for consumer delivery. This paper describes the application of a newly developed audio coding technology, Dolby E, to allow a 2 channel digital audio infrastructure to carry multichannel audio. The Dolby E coder is specifically tailored for use in with professional video, and provides a number of important features such as editibility in the coded domain, and carriage of audio metadata appropriate for the Dolby Digital emission coder.

Steve Lyman began is professional life designing custom audio equipment for a recording studio and for a console manufacturer. He built the audio systems for several small outside broadcast vans then moved to Central Dynamics where he worked on system design of large video production switchers. After this introduction to TV, he became the Canadian field representative for Tektronix for their television and communications test equipment. He joined the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in 1980 where he developed a system of standard audio and video measurement techniques and was heavily involved with CBC's efforts to implement High Definition Television, Digital Audio Broadcasting and other new technologies. In 1996, he moved to the Research and Business Development department of Dolby Laboratories to help implement multichannel audio systems for Digital Television Broadcasting. Steve has been involved in the development of audio and video standards within the Audio Engineering Society, IEEE and SMPTE throughout his career and is a Fellow of the AES.
