Avenir: Force Stereo/2 Channel Audio

In version 3.0 of the Avenir firmware, we have included a new setting that can force 2-channel audio when using Smart Presets. Normally the Smart Preset automation will select from three audio codecs (and a total of six different bitrates); two of the codecs (CELP and GSM) are mono only, and result in stereo channels being mixed on both channels 1 and 2. By enabling Force Stereo, the Smart Presets will only select the AAC audio codec at one of two bitrates.

NOTE: This will not limit your Avenir to 2 channels; Avenir supports up to 8 channels of audio when the audio is embedded in SDI.

This settings is turned off by default. We do recommend this setting being turned on if you are streaming in Stereo with one of our Smart presets. Here are the instructions for activating this function.

1. Please select "Settings"

2. "System"

3."Others"

4. "Force Stereo"

5. Then please select, "ON or OFF".
