In addition to Mono, Stereo and 5.1 pan formats, this pop-up allows access to various additional multichannel formats
which can be customised for specific operational contexts:
It is not possible to alter the first four format presets – the console will warn you if you try! However, there are 4 more
presets, here displayed as Pan 5 to Pan 8, which are available for user-defined multichannel presets.
As an aid to understanding, we have produced a suggested layout for these additional formats, providing some practical
presets for use in TV production:
Notice that the 5th row is called 'Quadmono', because it is four mono channels grouped together. This can be used to
bring all four mono tracks on a VTR into a 'quad mono' channel on the console, which can be spilt across adjacent faders
to show the master and four mono components individually, just like a stereo or 5.1 channel. Likewise the 'dualSter'
preset has 2 stereo channels, for playout devices that typically have two stereo tracks.
The '4.0' channel has L/R front and L/R surround components, but no Centre or LFE – ideal for crowd ambience for sports
and music production in HD – why waste two DSP channels from a 5.1 input channel when you only need to handle 4
sources? Likewise, the '4.1' preset is intended for Music & Effects (M&E) mixes of sports, music programmes, etc. where
the announcers/presenters are handled separately and there is no need to have a Centre channel.
