decklink extreme audio output
by eyad.hh on May 1, 2006 at 4:48:57 am

Hello,

I need to output 4 channels of audio onto digibeta as 4 seperate channels (decklink extreme PCIe with FCP 5). Can I do this through the SDI output or do I need to export the audio channels as seperate files and print to digi at another facility?

Thanx

Hi,

We support up to 8 simultaneous channels of SDI embedded audio input and output of the DeckLink Extreme PCIe.

Hi Kristian,
Thanx for the reply... but what does that mean exactly? embedded audio?

Will I be able to seperate the tracks, for example have the following on the digi beta:
channel 01: voice over
channel 02: music
channel o3: sound fx
channel 04: ambient sound

and how do I map them in this way? Is it through settings in FCP or the decklink or both?
thanx

Set FCP up for multiple outputs:

Go to: Sequence Settings
Go to: Audio Outputs (tab)
Where no. of outputs says 2, make it 4!
In your case, kill the stereo pairing and select "Dual mono"
Don't worry about the 0 or -3 thing.
Go back to your sequence, and use the grey area around the "Lock"
to CONTROL-Click and set the audio output of that track to 1,2,3 or 4.
Your not gonna downmix anything I presume, so it should be as simple
as that. Check your FCP audio mixer for 4 outputs, and make sure the "downmix"
button above the master fader is not checked.
All should be sweet!
