3.15.5.5.2 Dual Phase Aligned Audio
Dual PAA is where the stream presents two PAA instances under a single service
and this feature is only supported by the RX8000 IRDs. The three-letter language
codes for the second PAA instance are unique so that they do not clash with the first
PAA instance (e.g. uses language code b,b,a instead of a,a,a). Again, up to 8
channels are supported by the RX8000 for each PAA instance but ten audio
decoders are now exposed to the user with Audio Decoders 1-4 reserved for the first
PAA instance and Audio Decoders 7-10 reserved for the second PAA instance.
Where 6 Channel PAA is being decoded, Audio Decoder 4 and/or Audio Decoder 10
will become available to the user for configuration.
3.15.5.5.3 Suppressing Phase Aligned Audio
Since selection of the PAA Channel Configuration mode is automatic, an option is
available that will suppress the mode including any automatic configurations that
would normally be required for PAA. If a PAA service is selected with PAA
suppressed, the audio component selections for each audio decoder will be as per
the default behavior for the RX8000, which is to select components based on the
PMT order.
This control is located in the web browser under the section Decode > Advanced >
Audio Decoders: Suppress Phase Aligned Audio mode.
