    Hello,

    I need to output 4 channels of audio onto digibeta as 4 seperate channels (decklink extreme PCIe with FCP 5). Can I do this through the SDI output or do I need to export the audio channels as seperate files and print to digi at another facility?

    Thanx

    Hi,

    We support up to 8 simultaneous channels of SDI embedded audio input and output of the DeckLink Extreme PCIe.

    regards

    Hi Kristian,
    Thanx for the reply… but what does that mean exactly? embedded audio?

    Will I be able to seperate the tracks, for example have the following on the digi beta:
    channel 01: voice over
    channel 02: music
    channel o3: sound fx
    channel 04: ambient sound

    and how do I map them in this way? Is it through settings in FCP or the decklink or both?
    thanx

    Set FCP up for multiple outputs:

    Go to: Sequence Settings
    Go to: Audio Outputs (tab)
    Where no. of outputs says 2, make it 4!
    In your case, kill the stereo pairing and select “Dual mono”
    Don’t worry about the 0 or -3 thing.
    Go back to your sequence, and use the grey area around the “Lock”
    to CONTROL-Click and set the audio output of that track to 1,2,3 or 4.
    Your not gonna downmix anything I presume, so it should be as simple
    as that. Check your FCP audio mixer for 4 outputs, and make sure the “downmix”
    button above the master fader is not checked.
    All should be sweet!
