Embedded audio:

• 16-channel embedded audio processing
• PCM audio processing includes channel level gain and delay compensation, as well as channel level routing with L/R swap and phase invert feature
• Non-PCM processing features pair level routing and delay compensation. Dolby E data is passed with a delay to match the video and with co-timed audio frame drop or repeat
