a. Any automation value above 0dB will reduced to 0dB upon Encode
b. The supported range of volume automation on the Primary Track is from 0 to -60dB, INF
(negative infinity). Volumes below -60dB will be treated as INF upon encode
b. Automation data will be thinned to a resolution of approximately 2 SMPTE frames.
c. If a volume fade greater than 10dB is necessary, it is recommended the fade to gradually take
place over the minimum duration of a second.
DIAL NORM NOTE: If you are using a dial norm level other than -31db for your encoded
Primary Track, your Primary Track will be attenuated by the corresponding amount of db when it
is mixed in a Blu-ray player (Profile 1.1). For example, if a dial norm setting of 27 is applied, the
resulting volume of the Primary Track will actually be 4db lower than what you hear in your Pro
Tools session. This will change your overall mix when Secondary Audio is introduced in your final
content and not give you an accurate example during the stage of writing your automation.
It is
recommended to leave your dial norm setting at -31db.
To simulate/test the effect of dial norm on your Primary Track in Pro Tools without affecting your
automation:
1) In the Inserts section of your Primary Track, choose Other>Trim to bring up the Trim
plug-in.
2) Choose the amount of attenuation that will be applied to the track when your chosen dial
norm setting is used (EX: Dial norm of 27 = -4db attenuation)
This will allow you to monitor how dial norm will affect Primary Audio tracks when mixed in a
Blu-ray Player (Profile 1.1) in addition to the volume automation of Primary Audio tracks.
If you must use a different dial norm than -31db for your Primary Track, and you would like your
Secondary Audio to have the same attenuation applied, there is currently one solution. Dialog
normalization on Secondary Audio is not supported in the MAS Encoder. So, attenuate the final
Secondary Audio in your Pro Tools session by the amount equal to the amount of dialog
normalization to be applied to the Primary Track, before bouncing/exporting your Secondary
Audio track(s) to be encoded in the MAS Encoder. When encoding your Secondary Audio, ignore
the dial norm parameter.
c) AAF Error Codes
Double-check your start time and timecode frame rate before encoding in the DTS-HD Master
Audio Suite with your embedded AAF file or the following errors might occur:
Error 13018 - AAF File: Parser allocation
Error 13019 - AAF File: Unable to parse specified file
Error 13020 - AAF File: Encode frame rate does not match AAF frame rate of 23.976
Error 13021 - AAF File: Encode frame rate does not match AAF frame rate of 24
Error 13022 - AAF File: Encode frame rate does not match AAF frame rate of 25
Error 13023 - AAF File: Encode frame rate does not match AAF frame rate of 29.97 Drop
Error 13024 - AAF File: Encode frame rate does not match AAF frame rate of 29.97
Error 13025 - AAF File: Encode frame rate does not match AAF frame rate of 30 Drop
Error 13026 - AAF File: Encode frame rate does not match AAF frame rate of 30
Error 13027 - AAF File: Encode frame rate does not match AAF frame rate of 50
Error 13028 - AAF File: Encode frame rate does not match AAF frame rate of 59.94 Drop
Error 13029 - AAF File: Encode frame rate does not match AAF frame rate of 59.94
