Physical Transport For Professional Devices & Applications
SMPTE 340-2008 - Format for Non-PCM Audio and Data in AES3—ATSC A/52B Digital Audio Compression Standard for AC-3 and Enhanced AC-3 Data Types. This standard specifies data type specific format requirements for both Dolby Digital (AC-3) and Dolby Digital Plus (E-AC-3) data bursts carried within an AES3 interface according to SMPTE 337M. The combination of SMPTE 340-2008 and 337M allow the Dolby Digital Plus bitstream to be stored and transported within professional production, contribution and distribution workflows prior to emission to consumers.
For broadcast (emission) to consumers, the Dolby Digital Plus bitstream is packetized and multiplexed (with video) into an MPEG-2 Transport Stream. In ATSC systems, the specification for carrying Dolby Digital Plus is described in ATSC A/53 Part 3 & Part 6. In DVB systems, the specification for carrying Dolby Digital Plus is described in ETSI TS 101 154 and ETSI EN 300 468

Famous quotes containing the words physical, transport, professional and/or devices:
“I have no purpose to introduce political and social equality between the white and black races. There is a physical difference between the two, which, in my judgement, will probably for ever forbid their living together upon the footing of perfect equality; and inasmuch as it becomes a necessity that there must be a difference, I ... am in favour of the race to which I belong having the superior position.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and ... powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“... all professional ideologies are high-minded. Hunters, for instance, would not dream of calling themselves the butchers of the woods.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
“There is nothing in machinery, there is nothing in embankments and railways and iron bridges and engineering devices to oblige them to be ugly. Ugliness is the measure of imperfection.”
—H.G. (Herbert George)
