AMWA AS-11 UK DPP HD requires one mono channel per track, 24-bit/48 kHz PCM and exactly 4 or 16 channels, and its text contains no loudness requirement; AS-11 X9 instead describes audio layout through MCA labelling (Audio Layout Mode 0).

Curator qualifications: Six EBU layout list and the audio_track_layout.py artefact, Technical Overview and DPP slide statements (E2 part, E6, E7) not reinspected. Loudness obligations live in delivery requirements outside the file spec (producer).

Limitations: Spec text views only.

Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
