Amazon Web Services’ AWS Elemental MediaLive now supports decoding audio from sources with Dolby E compressed tracks.
Dolby E supports delivery of eight discrete audio source channels in a PCM (pulse code modulated) stereo pair.
AWS said the addition of the feature means that users can deliver content with different language tracks and/or high channel count spatial audio from a single high-quality source.
This is useful for international syndication of sports and events where commentary and immersive audio are present, said the company.
The addition of the Dolby E audio encoding follows last week’s announcement that users of the live video processing service can now add timecode visually into individual video outputs from a MediaLive channel.
