DOWNMIX option
Downmixing is the process of folding a sur-
round mix into a formats using fewer chan-
nels. This is done for the purpose of checking
compatibility.
The patterns available depend on the source
format currently in use:
Depending on the value picked here, the other
values (that is, the amount by which the
source busses are attenuated before they are
folded into the target busses) may be changed.
Figure 2.5: Example downmix screen showing
attenuation points
Attenuation In the on-screen display, the
attenuation points are shown as inverted num-
bers.
At the bottom of the screen, the values of
these points can be viewed and set using the
cursor keys, dial, and
ENTER key.
NOTE
Note that some busses may pass through more
than one attenuator before reaching their desti-
nation.
