Altitude Source Configuration
Understanding Altitude Sources
On Altitude processors, a source corresponds to an input connector, usually handling bitstream signals. Channels are automatically detected and mapped to the correct speaker outputs.
Note: at first startup, a set of sources is already available on the home page, requiring no initial declaration or configuration.
Accessing the Source Configuration Page
To configure sources:
- Go to System in the top navigation bar.
- Select Sources.

Sources are configured during the configuration wizard and can be edited afterward.
Editing Sources Post-Configuration
- Navigate to Setup / Configuration / Sources.
- The interface mirrors the source declaration process from the configuration wizard.
