Annex B
B.2.2 MPEG Audio
The RX8000 Receiver supports decoding of MPEG audio as follows:
• Compression layers: MPEG-1 layers I and II
• Sampling rate: 48 kHz
• Maximum compressed data rate: 384 kbps (layer II)
B.2.3 Dolby Digital AC-3 Audio
The RX8000 Receiver is able to decode and output the primary stereo pair of a
Dolby Digital AC-3 encoded audio stream. When there is data encoded on the audio
surround channels, the Decoder applies downmixing, so that either a surround
encoded stereo pair (LtRt downmix) or a conventional stereo pair (LoRo downmix) is
available at the output.
The RX8000 Receiver is not able to decode and output all 5.1 channels individually
as separate channels:
• Sampling rate: 48 kHz
• Maximum compressed data rate: 640 kbps
Note: Support for Dolby Digital decoding requires approval and licensing from
Dolby.
B.3 Audio Output Format
B.3.1 General
The RX8000 Receiver provides an independent stereo pair output for each audio
channel. Analogue audio is always output and the following digital audio formats can
be chosen from the User Interface and remote control interfaces:
• AES3 format
B.3.2 Analogue Audio
The RX8000 Receiver supports level control of the audio outputs. Independent
control of each output of each stereo pair is provided via the User Interface and
remote interfaces.
Audio output connector type: 9 way female D-type
Output level: +20 dBm nominal clipping level. Selectable in range +12 to +24 dBm.
Output impedance: 50 Ω (nominal).
