3. Select Active palette.

You can map the Eject button to any button on the Tool palette or any key on the Keyboard
palette. See “Mapping User-Selectable Buttons” on page 99.
Using Dolby E Media
Dolby
®
E is an audio coding technology created by Dolby Labs that compresses up to 8 channels
of audio and metadata into 2 channels. This enables the distribution of multichannel audio within
a stereo track or on two mono tracks which you can then use in your Avid editing project.
Dolby E support is available for Avid systems using the following Avid hardware: Avid Nitris
DX and Avid Mojo DX.
The workflow for using Dolby E clips includes the following steps:
• Select the “Keep Dolby E Material Safe” setting in the Audio Project Settings dialog box to
ensure the capture of Dolby E media.
• Use the Capture tool to bring Dolby E media into your project. A Dolby E Safe button in the
Capture tool indicates that your audio settings protect Dolby E media information.
• Add the Dolby E clip to your sequence, and edit the video and audio. Your Avid editing
application maintains synchronization between audio and video as long as you do not
convert or modify the Dolby E clip.
• When you finish editing, output the sequence. The Dolby E track preserves the encoded data
and can be restored to the original multichannel audio.
If editing the sequence modifies your audio settings in a way that prevents the Dolby E
information from being preserved, you cannot output or mix down your sequence with the
original Dolby E metadata. You should reset your Audio Project settings before you output your
sequence by an export operation or by using the Digital Cut tool, or if you mix down your
sequence.
