User manual

These options define how the Audio devices should be used by the dCine Media Player. A

configuration example follows:

</AudioDevice>

These options are controlled by the GUI and are usually never edited by hand. Find the GUI page

Buttons: Admin->Audio

The main Auto Devices options of interest to support engineers are the <Mode>, <SPDIF> and

<Volume>. The rest are deprecated or are reserved for internal use.

<Mode> : This option allows support engineers to configure the ways in which the dCine

will treat the audio in any media file. As an example, when “5.1” is selected, if any

“STEREO” content is played, the dCine will perform a real time mix to 5.1 before output.

This real time mixing process includes taking advantage of SR encoding if found matrixed

into a Stereo stream. If the audio is 5.1 and STEREO is configured, the dCine will mix

down the 5.1 to stereo. Other speaker set ups are also available for configuration. Based on

the speaker setup selected, the audio will be matrixed into those speakers for best possible
