CONVERSION CARDS
Cobalt Digital Fusion3G
All Fusion3G cards now have Dolby transcoding and EAS audio ducking available; a Dolby E stream can be decoded to baseband (and channel-swapped or optionally loudness-processed) and then re-encoded into Dolby Digital or Digital Plus; for EAS audio ducking, input mixing allows the set up of ducked mixing 5.1 or stereo program audio and EAS audio; custom mixes can be saved on the card and then recalled using the card's GPI input; when a GPI trigger occurs, the card goes to the ducked mix, and when the trigger clears, normal routing is restored.
