The Dolby audio decoder is a Media Foundation transform (MFT) that decodes the following stream types:

TIFF Viewer is an application program for showing and printing TIFF revision 6-perfect TIFF records and Internet Fax particulars real TIFF-FX documents. TIF underpins lossless pressure so that visual craftsmen and picture takers can file their photographs to save money on plate space without trading off quality. Free tiff reader windows 10.

Realtek High Definition Audio Codecs

• Dolby Digital, also called Dolby AC-3
• Dolby Digital Plus, also called Enhanced AC-3 (E-AC-3)

Important

For versions of Windows prior to Windows 8, the Microsoft implementation of the Dolby Digital technology is restricted under terms of the Dolby Digital licensing program to use by Microsoft applications.

For more information about these formats, refer to Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) document Digital Audio Compression Standard (AC-3, E-AC-3) Revision B.

The decoder can also convert a Dolby Digital Plus stream to Dolby Digital format for AC-3 S/PIDF output, or format a Dolby Digital Plus stream for HDMI digital output.

Class Identifier

The class identifier (CLSID) of the Dolby audio decoder is CLSID_CMSDDPlusDecMFT, defined in the header file wmcodecdsp.h.

MF_MT_AUDIO_NUM_CHANNELS	Number of channels, including the low frequency (LFE) channel, if present.	Required for PCM output. Not needed for digital output. If the input type is mono, stereo, or dual-mono (all without LFE channel), the only valid value is 2, for stereo output.

Transform Attributes

The Dolby audio decoder implements the IMFTransform::GetAttributes method. The application can use this method to get or set the following attributes.

Attribute	Description
CODECAPI_AVDecAudioDualMono	Specifies whether a 2-channel Dolby audio stream is encoded as stereo or dual-mono. Before the first Dolby frame is decoded, the value is eAVDecAudioDualMono_UnSpecified. After decoding begins, the value reflects the most recent Dolby frame. Read-only.
CODECAPI_AVDecAudioDualMonoReproMode	Specifies how the decoder reproduces dual-mono audio. The default value is eAVDecAudioDualMonoReproMode_LEFT_MONO. The application can set this property at any time. Read/write.
CODECAPI_AVDecCommonMeanBitRate	For Dolby Digital (AC-3) streams, specifies the bit rate of the input stream in bits per second. For Dolby Digital Plus (E-AC3), the value is always zero. Read only.
CODECAPI_AVDecDDDynamicRangeScaleHigh	The high-level cut when the decoder performs dynamic range control. Read/write.
CODECAPI_AVDecDDDynamicRangeScaleLow	The low-level boost when the decoder performs dynamic range control. Read/write.
CODECAPI_AVDecDDOperationalMode	The compression control mode. Read/write.
CODECAPI_AVDecDDStereoDownMixMode	The type of stereo downmix. This property applies when the input is a multichannel stream and the output is a stereo stream. Read/write.
MFT_SUPPORT_DYNAMIC_FORMAT_CHANGE	This attribute returns FALSE, indicating that the decoder must be drained before a new input type is set. Read/write.

Remarks

The decoder accepts only raw Dolby streams, as defined by A/52B. Payloads such as Packetized Elementary Streams (PES) are not supported. For Dolby Digital Plus, the decoder decodes up to 5.1 channels. On Windows 10, 7.1 channel streams are decoded without downmix. On previous OS versions, if the stream is 7.1 channels, only the 5.1 channel downmix will be decoded. If the stream is Dolby Digital Plus with more than one independent substream, only independent substream 0 is decoded. The decoder skips other independent substreams. In addition, the decoder skips all dependent substreams. The decoder supports decryption and decoding of streams that are protected by Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology.

If the input media type has a channel configuration other than mono, stereo, or dual-mono (all without LFE channel), the decoder provides two options for the output channel configurations:

Codecs Windows Media Player

• 8-channel output (7.1 channel configuration)
• 6-channel output (5.1 channel configuration)
• Stereo downmix

If stereo downmix is selected, the type of downmix can be set on the MFT by using the CODECAPI_AVDecDDStereoDownMixMode property.

If the output type is MFAudioFormat_Dolby_AC3_SPDIF, each output buffer contains 6,144 bytes. The buffer starts with an 8-byte S/PDIF header, followed by a compressed AC-3 frame, followed by zero padding to 6,144 bytes.

If the output type is KSDATAFORMAT_SUBTYPE_IEC61937_DOLBY_DIGITAL_PLUS, each output buffer contains 24,576 bytes. The buffer starts with an 8-byte S/PDIF header, followed by 1–6 compressed Dolby Digital Plus frames corresponding to 1,536 PCM samples, followed by zero padding to 24,576 bytes. For HDMI output, only independent substream 0 is packed.

The decoder MFT is registered with the flag MFT_ENUM_FLAG_FIELDOFUSE, which indicates that the MFT that must be unlocked by the application before use. For more information, see Field of Use Restrictions.
