Dolby E, Dolby ATMOS) or Auto Mode.
This menu will interact differently depending upon which options are chosen
for the “Mode” section (PCM, Passthrough, Auto). This section will also cover
two distinct PCM configurations for either Stereo Downmix or Discrete Surround
Sound decode that interact with the “Processing Mode” option from Section
3.2.5.2, Configuring Audio Baseband Processing.
Overview of Audio Menu
After clicking the Gear Icon next to “SDI” choose the “Audio” tab to expose
settings for the individual SDI Group Pairs as shown below
Select Pair
Setting | Range | Description |
---|---|---|
Select Pair | Group 1 Pair 1 |
Group 1 Pair 2
Group 2 Pair 1
Group 2 Pair 2
Group 3 Pair 1
Group 3 Pair 2
Group 4 Pair 1
Group 4 Pair 2| Each Group/Pair combination represents a different physical
pair on the embedded SDI Audio (8 total pairs available).
Each physical pair may be assigned to pass a full Stereo Downmix, portion of
Discrete Surround or full Compressed Passthrough
By default, each physical pair is enabled and set to output PCM Stereo Downmix
for the corresponding Audio Source (Audio 1 goes to Group 1 Pair 1, Audio 2
goes to Group 1 Pair 2, and so on).
After selecting the Group/Pair, that physical pair’s Group M Pair N
Configuration will be eligible for Mode and Source Selection.
Group M Pair N Configuration
Setting | Range | Description |
---|---|---|
Embed | Enabled Disabled | When Enabled, the SDI Physical Pair will output the |
configured source material.
When Disabled, the SDI Physical Pair will output no level.
Mode| PCM
Pass-through Auto| PCM will always output the decoded Audio Source as discrete
or downmixed (as per “Processing Mode” option from Section 3.2.5.2). Pass-
through will always output the compressed Audio Source (from the unmodified
input before the decoder). Auto will first read the Audio Source’s CODEC
before deciding how to output. Should it detect Dolby E or another undecodable
Audio CODEC, the pair will pass-through the audio. Should it detect Dolby
Digital or another decodable CODEC, it will decode and output the Decoded PCM
audio.
Source| Disabled Audio 1 – 8| Choose the Audio Source to be referenced for
output. This field corresponds to the “Select Audio” tab from Section 3.2.5.2.
If set to Disabled , the physical pair will output no level. If set to Audio
1 – 8, it will use that source for reference when outputting the compressed or
uncompressed audio.
Config| Stereo Mono| Only available if “Mode” is set for PCM or Auto. Stereo
will enable the “Pair” option under Stereo and output a full stereo pair.
Mono will enable the “Left Channel” and “Right Channel” options under Mono.
Pair| Lf/Rf C/LFE
Ls/Rs Lb/Rb Ch1/Ch2 Ch3/Ch4 Ch5/Ch6 Ch7/Ch8| Only available if “Mode” is PCM
or Auto and “Config” is Stereo. Select a pair from the sourcing Audio PID to
embed on the SDI.
If “Processing Mode” (Section 3.2.5.2) for the selected “Source” above is PCM,
the output will take the Left-Total/Right-Total of the full PID and output as
Stereo regardless of this setting. If the Processing Mode field is Discrete,
the output will source the selected pair as part of the Surround Sound output.
Later in this section there is a description on configuring Discrete Surround
Sound output.
Left Channel Right Channel| Disable / Channel 1 – 8
Audio 1 – 8| Only available if “Mode” is PCM or Auto and “Config” is Mono.
Advanced Audio embedding allows to embed mono audio channels from multiple
audio PIDs in the same group/pair, i.e., a user can use mono audio left from
Audio 1 and mono audio right from Audio 2 and embed them as
Group 1 Pair 1.
Available Config Options when “Mode” is set to Pass-through:
3.2.6.3 Configuring Discrete Surround Decode and Output
Configuring Discrete Decode and output is performed in three main steps:
- Confirm one or more Audio PIDs are receiving at least 3/2.
- Configure the 3/2 Audio PID for Discrete Decode
- Configure the SDI Output to send each of the at least three group/pairs
Confirming one or more Audio PIDs are receiving at least 3/2
After locking to the input and selecting the incoming service, review the
“Decoding” status (as per Section 3.2.4).Under Decoding Status, view the available Audios.
For this above example, Audio 1 (PID 52) is eligible for Discrete Surround
decode and output, as it is 3/2. Audio 2 (PID 53) is only eligible for
Downmix, as it is only 2/0, though it is still capable of PCM stereo or Pass-
through.
Configuring the 3/2 Audio PID for Discrete Decode
After confirming which Audio PIDs have 3/2 payload, open the Audio Baseband
Processing settings (see Section 3.2.5.2) and select the corresponding
Audio.In this sample case, Audio 1 is
chosen, as it carries the 3/2. The only necessary setting change is
“Processing Mode” as “Discrete”. This ensures the Audio PID is being decoded
with splitting the six channels into groups of two for embedded SDI output.
Configuring the SDI Output to Send the Discretely Decoded Pairs Navigate to
the SDI Audio configuration (as per Section 3.2.6.2).
For this sample, each of the first three Group/Pair combinations have the
“Source” field configured for “Audio 1”, indicating they all reference the
same source PID 52. Each of the three pairs will output a different stereo
component of the surround (Lf/Rf goes to
Group 1 Pair 1, C/LFE goes to Group 1 Pair 2 and Ls/Rs goes to Group 2 Pair
1). In this case, as there is PID 53 on Audio 2, Group 2 Pair 2 is simply
configured as stereo with downmixed “Audio 2” chosen as the “Source”.
3.2.6.4 Configuring SDI ANC
The Configure SDI menu also allows for the ability to enable or disable ANC
data.
