Force Pass Through
This setting is used to force the Maestro Processor to pass all digital audio
data without mixing, fading, or any other processing. It is normally used
only when it is preferred to pass a non-audio signal such as Dolby E or
Dolby AC-3 through the Processor.
The choices are:
•
False (default)
•
True
Note
For most installations, automatic detection will provide the best signal quality
(that is, when Force Pass-through is set to "false"). “False” is the recom-
mended setting as setting Force Pass-through to “true” will disable all audio
level adjustments even on valid audio signals.
If used, this setting must always be done in pairs since both sides of an
audio channel pair carry non-audio or compressed data. Force pass-
through mode can be used on any audio pair, but it is usually reserved only
for stereo pairs specifically dedicated for compressed audio signals.
Bit Depth
Audio bit depth may be set at 16, 20 or 24 bits. This selection is dependent
upon the equipment that is used to process the audio. The default bit depth
is 20.
