Chapter 12 Channel Ganging and Track Mapping
This section is divided into two parts:
• “If Play Silence is checked” on page 180
• “If Play Silence is not checked” on page 180
If Play Silence is checked
If AppCenter finds an output channel with a label that matches the label on an audio
track in the clip, the Play Silence box is ignored.
However, if no matching label is found, and the Play Silence box has been checked in
Configuration Manager, the channel plays silence.
If Play Silence is not checked
If there are no matching labels for output channels and the Play Silence box has not
been checked in Configuration Manager, the output channel plays the matching
numbered audio track. Basically, the output channel behaves as if it were unlabeled.

Configuring track mapping
To set up track mapping in AppCenter, you need to add audio tags in Configuration
Manager and name the tracks in the clip itself.
This section is divided into the following topics:
“Adding audio tags”
“Renaming a video or audio track”
Adding audio tags
This feature is part of the licensable AppCenter Pro option.
Before recording a clip, you can add audio tags to the audio input and output. Select
a name from the drop-down list or enter a track name. Adding input and output tags
before recording a clip can help streamline the routing of the tracks. A track name
cannot be more than 16 characters long. You can also label audio tags after recording
a clip. For more information, see “Renaming a video or audio track” on page 181 .
To configure audio tags before recording, follow these steps:
1. In the Channel tab of the Configuration Manager, scroll down to the Audio Input
or Audio Output section. The sections are grouped under each channel tab.
2. Click .
• To assign a label to audio input tracks, click on the drop-down list next to the track
you want to label, and select the label, or enter in a name.
• If you are labeling audio output tracks, you can assign primary or secondary labels
