If I understand correctly, you'd like to pass through the audio layout from SDI to an ffmpeg stream. I think by default ffmpeg will only put the first two audio channels into the output. If you want to specify which audio you'd like to pass thorugh you might use the '-map' option to select the correct streams or even use '-filter_complex' to do in depth mapping. It is a long time ago, I did something like this... But basically you need to see in the CLI output, which streams you want to use and map those to the output streams you want.

There is no layout with SDI. It supports 16 channels of audio, and people can use them for whatever they want. I?ve seen them used for everything from a click track to a COM system relay. BM devices will provide you with 2,8 or 16 channels depending on how you set it up. You will have to map them by channel numer from the audio stream. -Reuben _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list [email protected] http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email [email protected] with subject "unsubscribe". _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list [email protected] http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email [email protected] with subject "unsubscribe".
