NameTypeDescription
constraintsenum                          
broadcast_atsc
broadcast_ebu
streaming
bluray
The target output constraint to use for Dolby Digital encoding.
audio_coding_modeenum                          
3/2
3/2L
3/1
3/1L
3/0
3/0L
2/2
2/1
2/0
1/0
Defines the number of full bandwidth audio channels being encoded.
bitstream_modeenum                          
complete_main
music_and_effects
visually_impaired
hearing_impaired
dialogue
commentary
emergency
voice
Type of audio bitstream being processed. 'complete_main' and 'music_and_effects' are main audio services; the rest are associated audio services.
dialnormnumberDialogue Level (aka dialogue normalization or dialnorm) is the average dialogue level of a program over time, measured with an LAEq meter, referenced to 0 dBFS. This is the equivalent of loudness_target in DPLC, with a range of -31dB .. -1dB)
minimum: -31
maximum: -1
room_typeenum                          
not_indicated
small
large
The room type intended for the decoding.
phase_shift_90_degreebooleanA 90º phase shift can be applied to the surround channels during encoding. This is useful for generating multichannel bitstreams which, when downmixed, can create a true Dolby Surround compatible output (Lt/Rt). Default setting is true.
dolby_surround_modeenum                          
not_indicated
enabled
Indicates to a Dolby Digital decoding product whether the two-channel encoded bitstream requires Pro Logic decoding.
dolby_digital_surround_ex_modeenum                          
not_indicated
enabled
This parameter is used to identify the encoded audio as material encoded in Surround EX. This parameter is only used if the encoded audio has two Surround channels.
surround_attenuation_3_dbboolean–3 dB attenuation can be used to reduce the levels of the surround channels to compensate between the calibration of film dubbing stages and consumer replay environments. The surround channels in film studios are set 3 dB lower than the front channels (unlike consumer applications of 5.1), leading to the level on tape being 3 dB higher. Apply the 3 dB attenuation when using a master mixed in a film room.
dynamic_range_controlobjectDynamic Range Presets allow the user to select the compression characteristic that is applied to the Dolby Digital bitstream during decoding. These compression presets aid playback in less-than-ideal listening environments.
stereo_downmix_preferenceobjectThe settings for the final downmix.
