4.7.9.3 Audio Control Packet Insertion
To multiplex audio control packets for audio group 1 channels 1 to 4 (inputs Ain_1/2 and
Ain_3/4), the CTRA_ON bit of the host interface must be set HIGH. To multiplex audio
control packets for audio group 2 channels 5 to 8 (inputs Ain_5/6 and Ain_7/8), the
CTRB_ON bit must be set HIGH. In addition, the multiplexer will only embed or replace
group 1 control packets if one or more of ACT1, ACT2, ACT3 and ACT4 are set. Similarly,
group 2 control packets will only be embedded or replaced if ACT5, ACT6, ACT7 or
ACT8 are set.
By default, the audio control packets are embedded. The audio frame sequence is also
embedded for 29.97fps video standards. Setting the AFNA_AUTO and AFNB_AUTO bits
in the host interface LOW disable the audio frame sequence insertion. When set LOW,
the audio frame number will be set to zero (200h). The RATE word is always set to zero
to denote 48kHz audio only.
Control packet data can be programmed via the corresponding registers in the host
interface.
Refer to Section 4.13.3 for HD and SD audio multiplexer status and configuration
registers.
4.7.10 Setting Packet DID
The audio group DID for audio group 1 input channels 1 to 4 (Ain_1/2 and Ain_3/4) is set
in the IDA[1:0] bits of the host interface. The audio group DID for audio group 2 input
channels 5 to 8 (Ain_5/6 and Ain_7/8) is set in IDB[1:0] of the host interface. Table 4-10
shows the 2-bit host interface setting for the corresponding audio group DID.
For 24-bit audio support using the SD core, the extended audio group DID for audio
group 1 input channels 1 to 4 is set to the same group in IDA[1:0] of the host interface.
The extended audio group DID for audio group 2 input channels 5 to 8 is set to the same
