Last time I left you with a question: What is the problem with sending six channels of audio via three two-channel MPEG streams?

Last time we wrapped up our investigation of audio distribution. This time we are going to sidetrack just a little bit and take a look at a different approach to controlling dynamic range.

From BTSC to Surround Sound, audio changed with the times

We will wrap up our look at how to monitor almost every type of audio signal in a DTV plant by briefly exploring how to deal with baseband audio and separate metadata.

In coming months, I will try to cover the "nuts and bolts" of audio for both digital and analog television, focusing on the issues and applications within the broadcast plant.
