2.1: Make 16ch default audio channel layout on both channels and Decklink consumer
It would be super brilliant to get rid of STEREO as default values for all audio layouts, setting everything to 16ch/passthrough.
2.2 or even 2.1? I can't see any reason why not.
@ronag
@jesperstarkar 8 channels passthrough, yes
ffmpeg doesn't support 16 channels as far as I know at the moment. So adding 16 channel support is going to be difficult.
Oh yes it does!
CCG 2.1.0.3440 beta2 and my own custom client test panel. Footage is a single-track 16-channel MXF file Output on a Decklink 4Kpro
It seems not to work with a 16-track mono-channels file, so all 16 channels need to be in one single track. However it does work with an 8-track mono-channels file, it play all 8 tracks.
i prefer having as much channels as possible as a default if 16 is hard to make then 8 would be nice

It will be 8 channels.
It will be 8 channels.
Does that mean that all 16-channel capabilities will be removed/disabled/or not working? If 16ch is an option, and it is as shown above, why go for 8 and not 16/passthrough?
+1 for 16 channels. We often put foreign tracks on channels 3 and up and in few cases needed more than 8 channels.
We're going with 8 channels for this release. We can increase to 16 channels in a future release.
There is a significant difference in terms of development between the two. We need to get to the finish line at some point for a stable release. Sorry.
@ronag that's understandable. Thank you for your good work! :smiley:
Here we are almost 2 years later. @ronag @dotarmin any update on this? We do foreign tracks and need to be able to use 16 channels. It's a deal breaker for me. (Having to fall back to EVS for now.)
+1 16 channel audio would be amazing! Would like to be able to run latest master instead of older NRK.

Has the future arrived yet? I am still on NRK version 2.1 as I need 16 channels.
This is now working. I have verified it works for ffmpeg producer, decklink consumer, ndi producer and consumer. The other producers and consumers look like they will be fine, so do say if you have any issues with anything
