Scope
This document covers the steps required to send two mono signals to single output. For example, dual mono STL links where you might send one mono program channel on the left and a second mono program channel on the right.
This document assumes you have a Studio Engine with available Vmode channels. These Vmode channels are used to convert stereo to mono channels. Three available V-mode channels are need.
V-Mode 1 - Convert program 1 stereo channel to mono
V-Mode 2 - Convert program 2 stereo channel to mono
V-Mode 3 - Combine the two mono channels in to a new two-channel Livewire channel
Description
In this example, we'll assume that we have a single STL path that is capable of "dual mono" operation and can carry two mono channels completely separate from each other.
On the surface, this might seem easy, right? Just take the Program 1 feed it to the Left of an output and Program 2 and feed it to the Right of the same output. This might work if the Program channels are already mono. If they are not we need to first "mono" the program channels so you get both channels of the orignal content.
What we REALLY need to feed to the STL is;
Left + Right of Program 1 to the Left of the STL
Left + Right of Program 2 to the Right of the STL
Here's how we do that.
Configure the V-Modes
We-re going to use V-Modes as found most historically in Axia products. These are Fanless Studio Engine, PowerStations, and iPort PLUS.
Quasar Engine has EXACTLY the same V-Mode features; however the user intrface in Quasar engine has a different layoout. Please contact us if you have trouble translating this to aQuasar Engine.
