AutoMAX-II
TM
Mode
In this mode, the module will automatically detect the presence of 5.1 or 2.0 channels at the input. When 2.0 is
detected, the incoming stereo will be upmixed. When 5.1 is detected, the incoming 5.1 channels will automatically be
passed through untouched.
Follow Metadata Path 1 & 2 modes
This mode is another way to switch between 2.0 stereo and 5.1 and produce a constant 5.1 output. The
Coding Mode
parameter in the first program of the Dolby metadata will set the Operating Mode between Pass and Upmix modes.
Note:
In
Follow Metadata
mode, the metadata generator will be automatically turned ON when the upMAX
TM
module is upmixing to provide a valid metadata stream for the upmixed audio content. The generator content
must have been previously configured with valid 5.1 metadata parameters. When the upMAX
TM
module is set
to
Pass
mode by the incoming metadata stream, the generator will be automatically turned OFF to let the
incoming metadata stream pass through. Refer to
Generator Automated
mode in the Dolby metadata panel
section for further details.
If the
Coding Mode
parameter is other than 3/2 (i.e. 5.1
channels) or 2/0 (i.e. stereo channels) or if the selected
metadata path does not carry metadata, the Operating mode
will follow the Reversion Mode pull-down.
The
Reversion Mode
pull-down sets the default Operating
Mode to: Pass, Upmix, Last Valid (Last valid
Coding Mode
),
AutoMAX.
5.9.5.2 Basic
tab
The “Basic” tab is the easiest way to configure the ALC
module. You can use it to load an ALC Preset and specify
the output level for each program.
Of course, all processing controls are accessible and users
can custom design the presets that might be even more
appropriate for a given situation. We strongly recommend
starting with the ALC preset that is closest to the desired
objective, then fine tuning it to reach the desired goal. This
will minimize the troubles that will likely be encountered as
many adjustments interact.
ALC Presets
• TV 5B GEN -
T
ele
V
ision
5
-
B
and
GEN
eral. This is the most commonly used preset. It provides a moderate degree of
dynamic range processing, and is appropriate for all types of content. It is the factory default for all core preset
choices.
• TV 5B LIGHT -
T
ele
V
ision
5
-
B
and
LIGHT
. This is very similar to TV 5B GEN, however the ratio of the multiband
compression has been reduced closer to 2:1 for a more gentle action. Please be aware that lessening the processing
lessens the ability of the unit to control loudness tightly to a given target.
• TV 5B HVY -
T
ele
V
ision
5
-
B
and
HEAVY
. Similar to TV 5B GEN, however the ratio of the multiband compression
has been increased for a more dense and less dynamic sound.
• TV 5B LOUD -
T
ele
V
ision
5
-
B
and
LOUD
. Similar to TV 5B HVY, but louder and more punchy.
