Kanalverdiene

Kanalverdiene is the Norwegian term for the channel values, describing the numerical values assigned to each channel in a multi-channel system. The precise meaning varies by context, but the concept is used in fields such as audio engineering, broadcasting, telecommunications, and process control to represent per-channel data accompanying a signal or stream.

In audio engineering, kanalverdiene usually denote the signal level of each channel, often expressed in decibels relative to full scale (dBFS) or as linear amplitudes. In stereo and surround formats, the per-channel values correspond to left, right, center, subwoofer, and surround channels, and are subject to metering, normalization, and limiting to avoid clipping.

Data and processing: kanalverdiene are typically stored as ordered collections (for example, arrays) or labeled structures where each channel is identified by a name or index. They are used in mixing, routing, encoding, and monitoring, and are adjusted during calibration to ensure consistent levels across devices and formats.

Contexts and related terms: the concept appears in audio interfaces, digital audio workstations, broadcasting equipment, and networked sensor systems. Related concepts include channel, channel strip, multi-channel audio, dBFS, and metering.
