TOOlbOX - 5.1
The Toolbox 5.1 is designed to support surround production. The algorithm offers different Level, Test and Bass
management as well as Down Mix options. It is typically used in combination with the MD5.1 and VP-5.1 algorithms.
Toolbox 5.1 is offered as an integrated part of the MD-5.1 and VP-8 algorithms License packages.

Inputs
Mute
Range: Muted/Unmuted
Sets the Mute-status on the Input of of each of the 6
channels. The default setting is Unmuted.
Solo
When a Solo button is selected, the Inputs of all the five
remaining channels will be set to Off, but they can be
selected as additional solo channels.
Outputs
Mute
Range: Muted/Unmuted
Sets the Mute-status on the Output for each of the 6
channels.
Solo
When a Solo button is selected, the Outputs of all the
five remaining channels will be set to Off, but they can be
selected as additional solo channels.
Format Page
The format conversion block enables you to down-mix 5.1
signals to LCRS, Stereo or Mono mix’s including Limiter
function.
Output Format
The Output Format section is basically used to convert
Multi-channel signals to other formats. E.g. when going
from a 5.0 mix to a Stereo or mono signal.
Note that the Bass management is placed before this
format conversion in the signal chain. Use the distribute
part of the Bass-Management to convert from 5.1 to 5.0
mix.
Signal Flow
Thru - Thru channels are “hardwired” without any
adjustment options.
