A.3.1 Input Parameters
Press GLOBAL VIEW: INPUT.
Compared with mono or stereo channels, the global input control section of
a surround input channel is slightly different: There is no phase control
switch, and the 2 CH Mode selector has been replaced by 5.1 ORDER.
DIG 1 GAIN [1] As it is the case with mono or stereo channels, the digital gain stage acts as
a trim after the A/D converter. Input gain can be set in 1 dB steps in a
range of ±24 dB. The default value is 0 dB. In a 5.1 channel, all six sur-
round input legs are treated simultaneously.
5.1 ORDER [2] Like the 2 CH MODE function in a stereo channel, this functionality pro-
vides a kind of patching within the 5.1 channel. The bus order in Vista
consoles with SW V4.0 has been changed according to the ITU standard
(L, R, C, LFE, Ls, Rs). The 5.1 ORDER selector allows converting differ-
ent surround formats to the ITU order.
