Bargraph meters
1. Meter axis. Meter units
at top, meter type at bot-
tom.
2. True peak. Indicator bar
and numeric value.
3. Level bar.
4. Channel.
5. Bandwidth bar.
The Meters panel includes two groups of vertical bargraphs, one for the
input channels (on the left) and one for a set of downmixes created by
the Sentinel (on the right). Both sets of bargraphs include numeric dis-
plays which show the true peak level of that channel. The input channel
bargraphs also include indicators which show the approximate signal
bandwidth for each channel.
Input channels
The Sentinel accepts up to 8 input channels. Six, seven or all eight
input channels may be grouped into a surround program. The remain-
ing channels, if any, are treated as a second program called the Ancil-
lary Program.
The surround format, as set in the Input & Sources settings panel
(p. 61), determines the channels for which bar meters are displayed.
The configuration pulldown menu for the Meters panel allows you to
change the Channel Order of the bar meters.
Downmix channels
The internal downmix channels are created from the input signals as:
Lo sums LF, CF, LS and LB (or CB in 6.1 mode), if present.
Ro sums RF, CF, RS and RB (or CB in 6.1 mode), if present.
