VMIX AND VMODE
VMode Application
Now that you know what all the boxes do, here is an example of how you can use VMode.
Create a Mono Stream From One Side of a Stereo Channel
Sometimes, the program content that is fed on a satellite downlink is received on only the Left channel — there is
other content or information on the Right channel that you don’t want to air. Using VMode, you can split the L and
R channels and create a new source using just the channel you want. Here’s how:
♦
Choose
External
in the
Input Selector
box.
♦
Type the receiver’s name in the
Src Name
box.
♦
Enter the channel number of the receiver in the
Channel
box.
♦
Leave
In Stream
type set as
From Source.
♦
Choose
Upmix from L
in the
Audio Mode
box.
♦
Enter a unique channel number in the
Output Channel
and a name for the stream in the
Out Name
box.
♦
Choose
Standard Stereo
from the
Out Stream
type drop-down box.
♦
Click the
Apply
button.
You’ve just created a mono source using the Left side of the incoming stereo satellite feed, which can now be routed
wherever you like.
