SurroundScope Parameters
Each of SurroundScope’s interactive meters dis-
plays a different type of information about a
multichannel audio signal. Following is an ex-
planation of these meters and their behavior.
Surround Display
The Surround Display shows signal position
within the surround field. When SurroundScope
is inserted on a track, it detects the multichan-
nel format of the track and displays each speaker
channel in the signal in a circle around the Sur-
round Display’s center.
Each speaker channel is indicated by letter and
is equidistant from the center of the 360° sur-
round field.
During audio playback, the Surround Display
generates a circular metering image whose
shape and position change according to the am-
plitude energy emanating from the various
speaker channels in the signal.
