The I/O tab lets you control Ozone's input/output meters and gain when bypassed.
| Input/Output Meter Options | |
|
Enable meter |
Turns on or off the level meters |
|
Show peak hold |
Turns on or off the peak hold display for the level meters |
|
Detect "True Peaks" |
This examines the levels of the analog signal that will eventually be produced by D/A conversion, as well as the levels of each digital sample (inter-sample peaks). An analog signal's peak level can exceed its corresponding digital signal's peak level by more than 3 dB! |
|
Type |
Allows you to set the type of metering used for Ozone's I/O meters. Available options include RMS, Peak, RMS+Peak, and K-System. See the Input and Output Meters page for info about metering options. |
|
Scale |
The available options for scale are dependent on the type of meter selected. For RMS, Peak, and RMS+Peak you can choose between dB (linear) and dB (non-linear). For K-System metering options include K-12, K-14, and K-20. |
|
Source |
The Source of the meter can be either Stereo of Mid/Side. |
|
Peak hold time |
If peak hold is on, clicking this button allows you to cycle through different peak hold times. The choices are 5 ms, 250 ms, 500 ms, 1000 ms, 5000 ms, and infinite. If set to infinite, the peak value will be held until you double click on the meter. |
|
Integration time |
This setting only applies if the level meter displays RMS. It lets you specify the integration time for the RMS calculation. In most RMS meters, the integration time is set to around 300ms. |
|
Readout |
Allows you to control what is displayed by the numeric display on top of the meters: peak or actual (real time). If set to "Max Peak", the display will reflect the meter's highest peak value encountered during processing. If set to "Current", the display will reflect the meter's current value of the level. If there are two levels displayed (Peak+RMS), we read the RMS value. |
|
Gain when bypassed |
See the Gain When Bypassed Function page for info about the gain when bypassed feature. |
|
Automatically match effective gain |
When the Automatically match effective gain feature is engaged, Ozone automatically sets the amount of gain added when Ozone is in bypass mode. |
