  Can Kona cards capture Dolby E?

  Posted by Ben Cheng on September 6, 2006 at 4:19 pm

  Hi All,

  I would like to find out if anyone has any experience working with HDCAM tapes with Dolby E surround audio?
  These tapes are typically broadcast master, meant for tranmission.
  There’s a need to capture & edit the material on these HDCAM tapes & the 5.1 surround audio tracks are in Dolby E data stream.

  1 possibility is to decode the Dolby E into 5.1 discreet audio tracks & capture via AES/EBU.
  I’m curious if its possible to keep the metadata of the surround mix in this way.

  The workflow is to keep the editing process to the final delivery tapeless & go file-based.
  The final distribution surround format is Dolby Digital.
  I’m also looking for software to either:

  – convert the Dolby E to Digital

  – discreet audio tracks + metadata into Dolby Digital

  Any advice is greatly appreciated.

  Cheers,
