Abstract: With the transition to digital television now underway the primary focus by many has been on the variety of video formats and the transmission of DTV signals. But the introduction of DTV also includes six channels of CD quality sound, more commonly referred to as 5.1 Audio, that has not received the intense scrutiny necessary for a complete transition to digital television. This paper will outline some of the many issues facing broadcasters where multichannel digital audio is concerned. A brief introduction to the AES-3 and Dolby Digital standards, as well as some design solutions and possible scenarios for handling 5.1 audio, will offer engineers a general template that may be used to incorporate multichannel sound into their facilities.
