Specifying your audio output settings
The simultaneous audio outputs on your Matrox MXO2 hardware allow you to
send your audio to a variety of devices at the same time. Avid Media
Composer/Symphony and Matrox provide various settings to configure your
audio output on MXO2.
1 In Avid Media Composer/Symphony, click Settings in the Project window,
and then double-click
Audio Project.
2 In the Audio Project Settings dialog, click the Output tab, and then
specify your desired audio output settings as explained in your Avid
documentation. If playing back a project with Matrox 4VANC AFD and/or
closed caption data, see “Defining your playback settings” on page 116 for
information on how to specify your audio settings in Avid for use with
Matrox 4VANC. If exporting a project with Matrox 4VANC AFD or closed
captioning to a file, see “Specifying settings for exporting Matrox 4VANC
AFD and closed captioning to a file” on page 122.
Remarks
$ For surround sound HDMI audio output, Matrox MXO2 supports the 5.1
and 7.1 SMPTE settings only (and the Direct SMPTE setting, if
available).
$ Matrox MXO2 supports the Audio tool so that you can monitor the global
output level of your sequence. If needed, you can use the
Output Gain
(master attenuator) slider to adjust the overall output volume for all tracks.
