Audioand ClosedCaption/ Teletext Multilingual Support

Audio and Closed Caption/Teletext Multilingual Support Each video channel has up to eight AES/EBU or 16 embedded channels of PCM or compressed audio. For easy track management, each audio track can be identified with a language descriptor (requires AppCenter Pro or Elite). Additional audio features include scrub audio up to 2X, audio meters for each channel, an internal audio delay capability and the ability to adjust levels during recording or playback. It also performs an audio ramp down/ ramp up between clips to eliminate audio clicks and/or pops. Additional audio tracks can be imported into a clip to easily add additional languages (requires AppCenter Pro or Elite). In addition multiple closed captions or teletext files can be imported from third-party captioning editors for additional language support (requires AppCenter Pro or Elite).
