dScope Series III provides a fully automated solution for testing audio performance of DVD players and other devices compatible with Dolby Digital. Both Dolby Digital 2-channel and 5.1-channel devices can be tested quickly and easily to the Dolby specification. More details are explained in this press release approved by Dolby Laboratories. Unlike Dolby test solutions using other test and measurement products, these tests are included free-of-charge with the dScope software. Because these tests are implemented using the dScope’s built-in scripting language, they are fully customizable to the end-user’s requirements. Each test in the suite can be performed individually, or as a complete test suite, and the results written to a document. For faster testing, the scripts can be customized to use a DVD remote control, giving the ability to perform all the tests at the click of a button. The Dolby Digital 5.1-channel tests can be run with our dS-NET I/O Switcher if required, reducing the test time and avoiding the need for plugging and unplugging cables when repeating tests for the different channels. Note that the Dolby Digital Test DVD Version 1.0 or 1.5 is required in conjunction with the dScope’s scripts to meet the requirements for Dolby Digital testing.
