Orbit Controls
The orbit controls allow you to rotate the sound source, including all input channels, around the center of the surround field.
- Orbit Center
-
This is the main control that allows you to perform the rotation. You can use this for a scene where a person moves around and can still be heard when behind the audience.
- Counter Shot
-
This button allows you to rotate the sound source by exactly 180°, so that all positions in the surround image change sides.
You can use this for a close-up scene with people sitting face to face, and many reverse shots. With Counter Shot, you can flip the surround field, each time that the camera switches back and forth between perspective A and perspective B.
- Radius
-
If you use Orbit Center, Radius allows you to control the distance of the sound source from the center of the surround field, without changing the angle.
ImportantIn terms of automation, Orbit Center, Counter Shot, and Radius are not independent parameters. Instead, a combination of different automation parameters is used.
