Apollo Thunderbolt Software Manual Console Settings 146
Identify
Clicking the Identify switch will cause the currently selected unit’s front panel LEDs to
flash in a pattern. This feature is typically used with multi-unit systems to distinguish
units when making I/O connections.
Note: If the device is offline, this switch displays REMOVE instead.
Remove
When a device is offline, it can be removed from the devices list. To remove an offline
device, select the unit in the DEVICES column, then click the REMOVE switch in the
OPTIONS column.
Note: If an expander unit is powered down or disconnected from the system, the
expander unit must be removed before the sample rate can be changed to 176.4
kHz or 192 kHz.
Output Reference Levels
These drop menus set the reference level for the line outputs. The number of menus
displayed depends on the currently connected Apollo hardware (for example, Apollo 16,
which features more outputs, will display more output menus).
The line output reference levels can be set to –10 dBV or +4 dBu in adjacent pairs.
The value is usually set to match the nominal input level of devices connected to these
outputs (a setting of +4 dBu outputs a higher signal level than –10 dBV).
Note: Input reference levels for the analog line inputs are set in Console’s channel
input strips.
Digital Input (Apollo 8p, Apollo Twin)
This menu selects the digital input type (ADAT or S/PDIF) to be used by the TOSLINK
optical connector and Console’s digital input channels.
Apollo 8p and Apollo Twin supports S/PDIF digital input at sample rates up to 96 kHz.
If the current setting is ADAT and the sample rate is higher than 96 kHz, when S/PDIF
input is selected, the clock source is changed to Internal and the S/PDIF inputs are no
longer unavailable.
