Audio Template Settings
The lower area of the Audio page has a set of parameters that can be controlled by pre-
configured templates. Use the
Load Template button to populate the Audio Template Settings
with pre-configured audio values. The audio templates vary depending on the selected Audio
Source
(Stereo, Mono, or Dual). Med Fidelity is the default template. All audio encoder
parameters defaults will match these values.

Automatic Volume
Control
The volume is continually monitored and automatically adjusted to
normalize audio levels as follows. Default = Standard.
• Standard – Default. Use for general content which may already be
companded (compressed and expanded).
• Light – Peak limiting. Best dynamic range.
• Moderate – Peak limiting with expansion. Reduced dynamic range.
• Aggressive – strong normalization, low dynamic range, most
noticeable.
• User-Defined – Advanced users only. User Defined values employ
two thresholds (high level limit and low level boost) which define
db threshold levels to which volume changes are applied. The low
level boost threshold defines the threshold whereby lower signals
lower will be amplified by gain. The gain is applied gradually until
the audio level is higher than the configured threshold. The high
level limit threshold defines the threshold whereby signals higher
than this value will be attenuated until the audio level is reduced to
a lower value than the threshold.
Minimum Level
– the minimum (boosted) audio level you wish to
achieve after reaching the threshold.
Noise Gate Used to suppress unwanted audio noises that are continuous and
predictable (for example air conditioning equipment or traffic sounds).
A a noise gate allows a signal to pass through only when it is above a
certain threshold. If the signal falls below the threshold no signal is
allowed to pass.
Note: The noise gate is particularly useful in AVC (automatic volume
control) configurations to keep ambient, low-level noise from
propagating with gain (i.e. being amplified).
Noise Gate Level Displayed only if Noise Gate is enabled. Range: -34 to -82 dB.
