Managing Mono Audio in an ST 2110 / NMOS Environment

ST 2110 describes a system with video and audio streams, and in most systems the audio streams contain a multiplex of channels – 2, 4, 8, or even 16 channels per stream. In television production environments, there is often the requirement to route or manage audio at the mono-track granularity. By leveraging AMWA NMOS and the IS-08 audio channel mapping extension, a control system can implement a mono-track granularity of control even when using multi-channel streams. This talk describes the standards-based methodologies for doing this often-required task.
