6200 Digital Broadcast Delay
Digital AES Out
Digital (AES) Out
The 6200 features two AES format digital outputs each of which can trans-
mit a combination of channel 1 or channel 2’s content or each channel’s
content exclusively. Additionally, a HomerLink jack is provided as a rear
panel real estate sensitive means of providing AES/EBU input as well as
outputs on a single CAT-5 connection. HomerLink is a Symetrix developed
format for transferring 4 channels of AES/EBU bidirectionally over a single
CAT-5 cable.
AES OUT CONNECTION
Connect the AES OUT jack of your choice to your downstream equipment’s
AES IN jack using a standard 110 Ohm AES cable terminated with the ap-
propriate XLR jacks.
AES OUT MODE
Typically, an AES jack will carry two audio signals, most often a stereo
Left/Right pair. However, in the case of the 6200, this could also be a
1/2 dual mono pair. Some broadcast consoles in particular would rather
receive the exact same signal on one AES jack, this essentially being a
1/1 pair. The 6200’s AES outputs can be configured to accommodate all
scenarios. The following steps walk you through configuring AES OUT 1’s
output format.
1. Press the HOME button to ensure that we are starting from the top.
2. Press the NEXT button once.
3. The display should read “Section to Edit, - Channel 1 Menu -”.
4. Turn the ADJUST knob clockwise until the menu reads “Section to Edit, -
Setup Menu -”.
5. Press the NEXT button once.
6. Turn the ADJUST knob clockwise until the menu reads “- Setup Menu, -- AES
Assignment --”.
7. Press the NEXT button once.
8. The menu should read “AES Out 1 Mode, Channel 1/Channel 2”. This selec-
tion sends channel one out of AES-1 “L” and channel 2 out of AES-1 “R”. As
mentioned previously, some consoles prefer to see the exact same signal
on the AES outputs “L” and “R” channels. To make this adjustment, turn the
ADJUST knob to the desired setting.
9. If you turn the ADJUST knob twice clockwise, the menu should read “AES Out
1 Mode, Channel 1/Channel 1”. This is the option we want to send channel
1’s audio on both the AES “L” and “R” channels. Other options available are
“Channel 2/Channel 1” and Channel 2/Channel 2”.
NOTE: The above steps assume you are configuring AES OUT 1. AES OUT 2
can be configured in the same manner.
