(This software option (and the card models that support it) are discontinued. Downmix is standard on most current card models. Where auto-failover to downmix is desired, please see option +QC which accommodates automatic setup for alternate audio processing/setup during a failover event.)
Auto Downmix (+ADM) is available as a software option for Fusion3G® cards. Auto Downmix provides automatic stereo downmix from selected alternate multi-channel sources if primary stereo channels lose signal.
The source channels can be sourced from any of the audio types handled by a particular card (e.g., AES, embedded, analog, or Dolby® decoded channels where available). Failover holdoff and thresholds are user configurable.
The software can be ordered with card purchase, or activated later using a downloadable feature key via free DashBoard™ remote control/monitoring software (no need to remove or replace card.)
