    Audio Tracks, Channels & Language Supported by Muvi

    Introduction

    Muvi supports different formats of video and audio content. We also support videos embedded with different formats of audio (i.e. videos with multiple audio languages, tracks, channels, etc.). You can upload different formats of videos with multiple audio formats. After encoding all the audio formats in the videos remains intact and when the end-users play the video, our player is capable of playing most of the audio formats, whether it is mono, stereo, surround, Dolby, etc.

    Audio Channels

    The audio channel is a passage or communication route in which a sound signal is carried from the player source to the speaker. A single audio file can have one, two, or more channels. The number of channels is the number of sound sources when the sound is recorded or the relevant speaker number when it is played back.

    Types of Audio Channels:

    • Mono: Mono is the reproduction of sound using a single channel, which is a more basic form of sound reproduction. It is meant to be heard as if it were a single channel of sound, seeming as coming from a single position.
    • Stereo: Stereo has audio on two channels. The sound is reproduced by using two or more independent audio channels.
    • 4.0 surround sound: It uses four channels, which include four points of articulation: left on the front, right on the front, left on the back, and right on the back, while the audience is surrounded by the sound.
    • 5.1 surround sound: To create surround sound, a 5.1 surround sound system uses six channels (5 standards + 1 subwoofer). It includes a center speaker, subwoofer (for low-frequency effects, such as explosions), left and right front speakers, and left and right rear speakers. 5.1 surround sound is achieved with AC-3 (Dolby Digital) or DTS. DTS uses less compression but is also less common than Dolby Digital.

    Audio Tracks

    A track is a container for audio, used to keep different sources separate. A track can contain any number of audio channels. For instance, a stereo audio track contains two audio channels, as it is comprised of a left mono feed and a right mono feed. A 5.1 audio track contains six audio channels. On most recorders, you can set up your tracks with differing numbers of channels.

    Audio Language

    Multiple audios in different languages can be added to a single video in different tracks. When users play such types of videos, they have the option to select their preferred audio language from the player. For example, while watching the movie Titanic, users can select to watch it either in English, Hindi, or Spanish, depending on the number of audio tracks in different languages integrated into the video.

    Supported Audio Formats

    Muvi supports videos with multiple audio formats. When you upload different formats of videos with multiple audio formats. After encoding all the audio formats in the videos remains intact and when the end-users can play the video, and our player can play most of the audio formats.

    Audio Channels: We support different audio channels, including Mono, Stereo, and Surround (5.1 with AC3)

    Audio Tracks: We support the playback of videos with multiple audio tracks. You can upload the video with multiple audio tracks, and after encoding, all the tracks remain intact. When the users play the video, the player can play the audio tracks that are integrated into the video.

    Audio Language: We support videos integrated with multiple audio languages. Provide content with multiple audio tracks in different languages. While playing the video, the end-users can select their preferred audio language from the player. We support audio in multiple languages for both DRM and non-DRM content.

    Note: For non-DRM content, multiple audio languages are only supported in Microsoft Edge and Safari browsers. For DRM content, it is supported in all browsers (i.e., Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari).
