As we prepare to enter into nice summer weather, I thought that it would be a perfect time to warm up to more details about transport stream distribution models.

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.

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

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.
