Multi-Channel Files Not Displaying in the Correct Order
< All Topics
Multi-Channel files are not displaying in the correct order?
All modern files are written as SMPTE format internally with the channel order in the metadata and BH displays them as is and transfers them 1 to 1 with the channel order metadata.
BH has the ability to route the output to FILM mode but we do not currently re-arrange the channels visually to match the metadata, it will always display the channels in SMPTE order
