About: The Multichannel Audio Routing feature enables users to manage and route multiple audio channels from input PIDs to output PIDs using a routing matrix.

Overview
The Multichannel Audio Routing feature provides a visual grid interface (Matrix) where users can configure how audio channels are routed from inputs to outputs. The system uses coordinates to represent individual routings per channel, making it intuitive to understand and modify audio channel assignments.
Accessing Multichannel Audio Routing
The Multichannel Audio Routing can be accessed via the inspector:
-
Audio Monitoring: Click on Mini Audio Bars to open the Audio Monitoring section.
-
Audio Routing: In the audio monitoring, click on the Audio routing button to open the Routing Matrix.
Types of Audio Routing:
-
Audio PID Routing: You can route Input PIDs to Output PIDs. Channels inside use the default routing.
-
Audio Channel Routing: You can route individual channels inside a PID to output channels.
Key Functionalities
PID Routing Configuration
-
How it Works: Routes entire Input PIDs (Packet Identifiers), which represent complete streams (e.g., audio tracks) to Output PIDs.
Channel Routing Configuration
-
How it Works: Routes individual Input audio channels within a PID to Output channels, allowing finer control over specific channel outputs.
Routing State
-
Default: This state means the routing applies the system default, which follows a staircase pattern from top right to bottom left.
-
Modified: The routing state shows modified if the user has made changes to the routing matrix. By clicking Reset to default the matrix can be returned to the system default state.
