Multi-Format Pan

2CH PAN:
3-78 Desk Operation
DIR: This provides left and right (odd/even) panning control with 1° steps from
–30° (left) to +30° (right). L30 indicates full left, 30R indicates full right,
and L00R indicates the center position.
Virtual Surround Panning is a comprehensive family of three panning al-
gorithms: Multi-Format Pan, HRTF (Head Related Transfer Function) Sur-
round Pan, and VSP (Virtual Surround Pan). These panners support a vari-
ety of surround formats and applications; in all these modes, an LFE (Low
Frequency Effects) control is available. VSP panning functions can be
configured only in mono channel types.
The Multi-format Pan w/LFE (MPAN) parameters are available on four
pages. The parameters that appear on these pages depend on the selected
format. Formats include two-channel (2CH), three-channel (LCR), four-
channel (LCRS), six-channel (5.1), seven-channel (EX), and eight-channel
(7.1). The format selection parameter is found on PAGE 2 regardless of
which format is currently selected for use.
The 2CH PAN is a basic stereo pan intended for left/right and odd/even
panning applications. 2CH PANning parameters are as follows:
• PAGE 1 = MPAN: 2CH
• PAGE 2 = FEED: FRMT (format)
2CH: The fourth LACP rotary encoder provides left and right (odd/even) pan-
ning control with 1° steps from –30° (left) to +30° (right). L30 indicates
full left, 30R indicates full right, and L00R indicates the center position.
The SW key allows the rotary encoder to be deactivated and therefore pro-
vides the ability to "lock" the pan position in place.
FRMT: This serves as the format selector in all MPAN modes. The following se-
lections are possible: 2CH, LCR, LCRS, 5.1, EX, and 7.1.
Note: The order of 2CH bus assignments is as follows: L, R.
