time, this is just what you need. But in some cases, an
application surfaces that requires only one channel of an
audio stream, or a mono sum. VMODE is an easy way to
make this happen.
VMODE is an addition to the StudioEngine toolbox
that addresses this requirement; its job is to help strip,
sum, or compile a custom audio stream from other avail-
able streams in the network.
VMODE Controls
VMode, as shown in Figure 7-3, has the capacity for
up to eight separate stream-manipulation operations. The
controls are as follows:
