External Interfacing
194 APOLLO
Digital Broadcast Production Console
The audio on any input across the
network can be monitored or metered
using external inputs.
External inputs are typically used to
monitor down-stream feeds and ‘off-air’
returns to ensure the console output
is reaching its’ intended destination
uncompromised.
Configuring external inputs
In the main application selecting:
>Show Settings>External Inputs
allows external inputs to be configured,
see Fig 1. Click on the Width cell for an
input in order to be able to select it as
mono, stereo or surround. Custom labels
can be given to each input by editing the
Label column.
Patch I/O ports to external inputs in
a similar way to other port patching -
sources are listed in the left hand side of
the screen, select the required port list
from the Filter Ports menu, then highlight
the desired port within the list, highlight
the chosen external input’s blue patching
cell and click ‘Patch’.
Monitoring / metering externals
External inputs appear as sources to the
monitor and meter selectors. Meters can
also be configured to display external
inputs directly (rather than via a meter
selector).
