Re: [Avid-L2] Audio Delivery Requirements with Channel Labeling?

I don't really have an answer for you, but does the spec require a QuickTime file? Or is MXF a possibility?

I got the following delivery specs for audio.  I'm use to delivering mono stems that I label using the preset names available in QT 7 for (L,R,C,Lfe,Ls,Rs) Lt,Rt.  But this delivery spec wants stereo and 5.1 tracks.  I suppose I could turn the tracks into stereo and 5.1 in Avid before exporting a QT Ref or maybe even a same as source.  What I'm not sure of is the labeling requriements mentioned.  Where do you add the labels?  I guess I've been doing it in QT 7 as mentioned above but that only has certain name choices.  Any insight would be appreciated.

DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS
UNSCRIPTED SERIES / SPECIALS (IN-HOUSE) 22 of 40
HBO MAX Post-Production Revised 5-7-20
Audio Technical
Each Soundfield group MUST be arranged into a single track. e.g. 5.1 would be a single track
with 6 channels.
All Audio channels MUST be labeled in the file metadata using Multichannel Audio
Labeling as specified in SMPTE ST 377-4:2012.
Stereo labels MUST match the method used to create the sound field: LtRt for matrixed
downmix, LoRo for simple downmix, LR for stereo mix.
All audio tracks MUST conform (be synchronous) with video and have the same duration.
Near field mixes are preferred over a Theatrical.
