bass management, and room EQ.
The Meter outputs can be assigned to any hardware output connector that is not being used by
a Control Room speaker or a Cue output.
Note: CR1, CR2, and CR3 OUT can not be used for meter outputs.
See the
section of this manual for details on Meter Output routing.
5.19 Downmix
The m908 contains two downmixers and a predefined set of downmix templates. The first
downmixer processes the input signal and outputs to the CR Outputs. The second downmixer
processes the input signals and is available as a source to feed the Headphone and Cue outputs.
This downmixer uses only stereo out templates and allows these stereo Cue and Headphone
outputs to monitor a surround input source while simultaneously monitoring in surround on the
CR Outputs. Each stereo output template contains downmix level parameters. These parameters
are set to default Dolby metadata values in most cases. Downmix templates are accessed by
configuring one of the A,B, or C User switches to activate a downmix.
To enable a downmix mixer one of the A, B, or C User switches must be assigned to downmix
mode with a downmix template selected. See the
section of this
manual for details.
Up to three downmix templates can be used by assigning each A, B, and C switches to a
downmix template.
The CR Output downmix templates can be activated by assigning one of the ABC switches to
section of this manual for details.
For Downmix to work properly the Input Source and the Control Room output speaker system
must match the input and output channel configuration of the selected Downmix template. For
instance, if a 7.1 downmix template is enabled, the Input source should be 7.1 and the Control
Room output speakers should have at least as many channels as the downmix output. Also, the
Workflow must contain a speaker layout using the names below. The INPUT and CR output must
be routed to these speaker names.
