Another important configuration setting from the In 1:4, In 5:8, In 9:12 and In 13:16 menus is setting
the type of audio functionality according to your intended use for each pair of mixer input channels.
Use the 1/2 Mode and 3/4 Mode drop-down controls (and their equivalents on the In 5:8 menu, In
9:12 menu
, and 13:16 menu) to select one of these modes: Audio Mode, Data Mode, or Auto Mode.

Audio Mode

Select Audio Mode when you are using the AES-3 standard
(audio encoded as PCM data), the common digital audio format
that carries two channels in one stream.

Data Mode

Select Data Mode when you want to bypass the mixer to avoid
the possibility of unintentionally changing the data. This is
appropriate when using Dolby-encoded data, because Dolby
sets the bit to Audio. Therefore, you will need to tag Dolby
streams as Data so that they do not become damaged in the
mixer.

Data Mode is also appropriate for non-audio PCM data
packaged into AES audio format according to the SMPTE 337M
specification.

Auto Mode

There is a bit in the AES packet that identifies it as Audio or Data
when the packet is generated. If that bit is set correctly, Auto
Mode will detect whether the packet is Audio or Data.
