The example in Figure 3‐3 includes two programs: a 5.1 mix and a two‐channel mix.
Metadata for the programs is controlled separately.
2. Metadata source in use. The options are: Internal, Ext 1, or Ext 2.
3. Program name: text, which can be user‐entered, describing the program that is
selected for emulation and metadata authoring. Naming Programs on page 25
explains the value of this feature.
4. Channel mode: Displays the current program selection, in this example a 5.1 mix.
Here 3/2 is the Channel mode (three front channels, two rear channels). The L
indicates that the LFE channel is also enabled.
5. Dialogue level: Displays the dialogue level value for the currently selected program.
In this example, –27 is the selected value for the dialogue level parameter. See
