Chapter 14 Channel Ganging and Track Mapping
The rest of this section describes this evaluation process in detail.
If the primary output alone is labeled
If the output routing channels are assigned primary labels, the K2 Media Client
evaluates the labels to see if they match with the track labels in the clip as follows:
• If there are no secondary labels assigned, then the primary labels only are
evaluated.
• Labels are evaluated in numerical order, that is, from the first to last.
• After labels are evaluated in numerical order, the Play Silence check box is
evaluated to determine if it is checked or un-checked.
The following illustration shows an example of how the K2 Media Client maps
non-unique labeled audio tracks to non-unique labeled output channels. In this
example, the first four output channels have primary output labels that do not match
with any of the track labels, so they are bypassed.
Because the K2 Media Client maps the first track label to the first matching output
label, the first ENG track is routed to the first audio output labeled ENG (in this
example, output channel 5), the second ENG track is routed to the next audio output
labeled ENG (output channel 6), and so on.
Figure 14-3. Track mapping based on the labels of the primary output channels.
If both primary and secondary outputs are labeled
The primary and secondary labels of an output channel are considered a “language
group”. A clip’s audio track label is matched to a language group’s primary label. For
example, consider the following illustration:

1. ENG
