About track mapping
This feature is part of the licensable AppCenter Pro option.
The K2 Media Client lets you configure audio input and output routing, assign labels
to audio tracks, or specify which video track you want to be the key. You can have
multiple tracks with the same name in a clip.
• To label a track, see
“Renaming a video or audio track” on page 243
.
• To label audio input or output channels, see
“Adding audio tags” on page 240
Labeling the audio tracks in a clip and the output channels in Configuration Manager
allows you to map specific tracks to specific output channels. You can assign output
labels to primary output channels alone or to both primary and secondary output
channels. (If there is no label on the primary output channel, you cannot assign a label
to the secondary output.)
The K2 Media Client maps the audio tracks to the output channels based on specific
criteria. The following sections give a detailed description of the track mapping that
results based on each of these criteria:
•
“If no labels are assigned to any output channel”
•
“If unique labels are assigned to audio tracks and output channels”
•
•
“If the primary output alone is labeled”
•
“If both primary and secondary outputs are labeled”
•
“If no output labels match the track labels”
•
“If no labels are assigned to any output channel”
If no labels are assigned to any output channel
If no audio output routing is specified, the K2 Media Client plays out the audio tracks
according to their order in the clip, regardless of the labels of the individual tracks. In
the following illustration, the first four audio tracks are routed to audio output
channels 1 through 4.
