Table 5.14 Audio Input Parameters
Parameter Values Description
Input Format
Uncompressed (LPCM), MPEG Layer II, Dolby
Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby E, AAC
Sets the input format used by the audio encoder.
Input Source
Off, Mute, Test Tone -18dB, Test Tone -20dB,
Embedded 1 to 8
Sets the source used by the audio encoder. No input is fed
to the encoder if Off is selected. Mute mutes the incoming
audio and encodes silence. Test Tone encodes a 1 kHz
test tone at the given amplitude (referenced to full scale),
Embedded 1 to 8 sets the source to an SDI embedded
audio stream.
Output On Audio Loss No PID, Silence
Specifies the action to take when input is Lost. No PID is
for dropping the audio PID from the stream, Silence is for
encode silence.
NOTE: When No PID is selected, the reference to the PID
is not removed from the Program Map Table, so a
Transport Stream analyzer will indicate a ghost PID in the
output Transport Stream.
