Per our agreement with Dolby, only limited distributors can handle these products. Authorized distributors in US and Europe are Avnet and Future. In Asia, Serial and WT are authorized. 
 Please note that we can only sell these products to Dolby licensed customers. 
 We have software called AudioCanvas that is used to develop audio flows for these products &ndash; including Dolby functions. We can distribute the software once the customer has the product.

Only the D2-6 products that enable Dolby technology require a Dolby license. Please note that the D2-6 products that require a Dolby license also enable audio technology from a company called DTS (now a subsidiary of Xperi) and require a DTS/Xperi license. 
 To be specific, these are: 
 Dolby and DTS/Xperi license required: 
 
 D2-71583-LR 
 D2-74383-LR 
 D2-74583-LR 
 
 No license required: 
 
 D2-71083-LR 
 D2-74083-LR
