HD EXPRESS AUDIO SETTINGS

To access basic HD Express audio settings:
1 Choose Final Cut Pro menu> Audio/Video
Settings.
2 Select the A/V Devices tab.
3 Choose the HD Express for audio playback.
4 Click the Options button to set the sample rate.
This setting will modify the HD Express hardware
so that it matches the setting in Final Cut Pro.
You can verify the HD Express's audio settings in
the Audio tab (Figure 6-10 on page 31).
Choosing audio banks
The HD Express provides two 8-channel banks of
simultaneous audio output: Bank A (channels 1-8)
and Bank B (channels 9-16). Use the settings in the
Audio tab (Figure 6-10 on page 31) to assigned the
desired audio formats to each output bank.
In Final Cut Pro, the HD Express's channels are
simply numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. and correspond to
the HD Express channel numbers 1-8 and 9-16.
For example, you might make the following audio
bank assignments in the Audio tab:
Bank A (1-8)
Output
Analog (RCA)
In this example, Final Cut Pro outputs 1-8 are
assigned to RCA analog, and outputs 9-16 are
assigned to HDMI embedded, plus S/PDIF digital,
which will output channels 9-10.
