6.2.2 Metadata Connector
Audio metadata from an upstream device, like a DP570 Multichannel Audio Tool or a
DP572 Dolby E Decoder, can be connected to the DP571 here. The audio metadata
stream, which includes important information to properly format the audio when
received and decoded in the home, will be incorporated into and carried by the
encoded Dolby E data stream created by the DP571. For information on metadata
parameters that may need to be explicitly set or checked, see Section 7.2.8.
This is a 9-pin full-duplex RS-485 female D-connector running at 115 kbps. The
pinout, show in Table 6-6 is SMPTE 207M compatible.

6.2.3 PCM Delay In/Out Connectors
When sending both encoded and nonencoded channel pairs to a digital recorder, the
nonencoded pair can be delayed to remain synchronized with the encoded signal. The
DP571 encoder contains a one video frame PCM utility delay that allows the PCM
input signal to be transported in–sync with the digital inputs. One frame of delay is
added to the PCM signal transmitted from the PCM Delay Out connector to match the
Dolby E encoding delay.
