Anyone have any info on how AC3 encoding is done? Or, multichannel multiplexing of any other sort. I am thinking of a bunch of PIC's working in paralell/series to take SP/DIF signals and multiplex into single AC3 / Multichannel stream. My thought is that if you take a 20 MHz chip and crank it to 25 or 30, you might have enough power if one windows the data and make more work in paralell. I want to do this so I can have 5.1 or similar from my comp to my reciever digitally transmitted. Would be so cool. Not to mention practical. And, it would infringe on a dozen patents or more. I just love that! Kyrre -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline? Don't AutoReply us! email listserv@mitvma.mit.edu with SET PICList DIGEST in the body
