There are three ways of bringing audio into Colossus: through the stereo audio jacks on the A/V adapter cable, through the HDMI connector or through the optical audio connector on the back panel.When bringing audio in through the stereo jacks, audio is digitized and then recorded as MPEG-1 layer 3.When bringing audio in through the HDMI connector or the SPDIF optical audio jack, the audio is recorded in the format which is received.

If the source provides AC-3 audio, the audio track is AC-3. If the source provides AAC audio, AAC audio is recorded. There is no conversion of the audio format.DTS audio is currently not supported.AC3 -5.1 audio is preserved if you are creating an AVCHD DVD. If you are creating a standard DVD the audio will be transcoded to 2 channel. Creating MP4 files will also result in 2 channel audio. In order for the audio pass through to operate correctly you need to configure the settings in the ShowBiz application.

To do this follow the installation guide to install the Colossus drivers and the ArcSoft ShowBiz software. When finished power on the Colossus and open the ShowBiz software and click on the “record video” Icon, this will open the Capture module. Choose the audio input from the drop down menu ( RCA, SPDIF), once configured the Colossus will retain these settings. Note: the Colossus must be powered on for the pass through to operate.

If you are a developer, you can bring H.264 encoded video in from either Colossus or HD PVR into VLC so it can be streamed out from your PC. Microsoft provides a sample network transmit/receive filter set in their DirectX SDK.Here is the way this works:The HDPVR encoder filter produces transport packets. If you (the developer) create a small 'network push' filter that can receive the transport packets in the directshow graph, then forward them to a udp network address and port (for example udp://192.168.1.1:1234), then VLC is capable of receiving and rendering them.Start VLC from the command line with: vlc udp://192.168.1.1:1234. Sony Vegas does not detect AAC audio on.TS or.M2TS files. If you are using an Xbox360, you must use either HDMI or optical audio. You can set your Xbox to output Dolby Digital in System settings / Audio settings.If you are using a PS3, you must use Component Video and optical audio in order to use your recordings in Vegas.

To set your PS3 to optical audio out, in your PS3 go to Settings / Sound settings / Audio output settings. Select Optical digital and Dolby Digital 5.1 Then use an optical audio cable for recording.
