For the encoding stage `cod` and the decoding stage `dec`, the path to the IVAS_cod and IVAS_dec binaries can be specified under the key `bin`.
Additionally some resampling can be applied by using the key `fs` followed by the desired sampling rate.
The general bitstream processing configuration can be locally overwritten for each EVS and IVAS condition with the key `tx`.
For IVAS and EVS conditions the `sba_fmt` key is available to specify a SBA format of lower or same order compared to the input for SBA input formats.
The additional key `evs_lfe_9k6bps_nb` is only available for EVS conditions and ensures a bitrate of 9.6kbps and narrow band processing of the LFE channel(s).
#### IVAS
The configuration of the IVAS condition is similar to the EVS condition. However, only one bitrate for all channels (and metadata) can be specified.
