Camera Settings
Microphone Level
Microphone input adjusts the recording levels of the built in microphone. Move the audio slider left
or right to increase or decrease levels. Studio Camera has a built in stereo microphone. The built in
microphone records to audio channels 1 and 2 when no external audio source is connected.
Input Level
External audio connectors support audio at microphone level or line level. Select Line when connecting
external audio equipment such as an audio mixer or amplifier. Select the mic low or mic high setting
depending on the signal strength of your microphone. It's important to select the appropriate level
to avoid your external audio sounding almost inaudible or too hot and distorted. Set the external
audio input levels by using the left and right arrows.
Ch 1 Input
Move the audio slider icon left or right to increase or decrease levels for channel 1. The external audio
input overrides the built in microphone and is output to audio channel 1.
Ch 2 Uses Ch 1 Input
Select 'on' if you want to embed channel 1 external audio into channels 1 and 2 of the SDI or the
optional optical fiber output. This is the same as connecting input 1 to both audio channels in the
camera and is useful when using microphones with a single mini audio output and you need to connect
both stereo audio channels to it. Select this setting to off if you want channel 1 audio to remain on
one channel only and channel 2 will take audio from the channel 2 audio input, which is preferred
when using stereo audio sources.
Ch 2 Input
Move the audio slider icon left or right to increase or decrease levels for channel 2. The external
audio input overrides the built in microphone and is output to audio channel 2.
Phantom Power
Phantom power supplies power through microphone cables and is a convenient power source for
condenser microphones. Enable or disable phantom power for studio cameras with XLR inputs by
navigating to the 'audio' menu and selecting on or off using the arrow buttons. Phantom power is
automatically disabled when the 'line input level' setting is selected. Be sure to wait at least 10 seconds
for phantom power to discharge after disconnecting before plugging in a self powered microphone.
Older ribbon type microphones are not suitable for phantom power usage.
