Audio codecs and supported conversions

Generally, Elemental Live can convert any audio codec that is supported as a source to any audio codec that is supported as an output. However, there are some constraints, as follows.

• Constraint when Dolby Digital with Atmos is the source. Conversion to another codec isn't supported. You can only pass through this source codec.

• Constraint when converting to another codec (other than Dolby Digital with Atmos) and changing the coding mode. The following rules apply:

  • The source must contain at least as many channels as the output. For example, to produce Dolby 5.1 (6 channels), the source must contain 6 channels.

  • The source can contain fewer channels. For example, you can convert Dolby 5.1 to AAC 2.0.

  In both cases, you might need to remix the channels in the output.
