CHAPTER 6: MENUS: AUDIO SETUP
Channel 1 Only, Channel 2 Only, Both Channels
The Channel 1 Only and Channel 2 Only sub-menus of the Audio Setup menu contain
the same option settings, and differ only in which channel the settings affect. For
example, the Channel 1 Only sub-menu contains the option Ch1-Input, while the
Channel 2 Only sub-menu contains the option Ch2-Input. These perform the same
function, selecting the audio input, for their respective channels. The functions of
these options will be documented only once each below (following the example
above, as Input). The Both Channels sub-menu is simply a concatenation of the
Channel 1 Only and Channel 2 Only sub-menus, allowing you access to options for
each channel from a single menu.
These settings affect the channel specified in the prefix of the option, Ch1 or Ch2, in
the audio menus.
Input
Selects which audio input source is active.
Valid Settings: Analog, AES/EBU, SDI, DV*, Option*, Mute, Test Tones
Default Setting: Analog
Related Setting: 96 kHz AES Output
* DV and Option settings will only be available if the corresponding hardware
module is installed.
Mute disables audio output; Test Tones outputs audio test tones from the unit. The
parameters of the test tones (Level, Frequency) are set in the Tone Level, Test Freq-L,
and Test Freq-R options detailed later in this section.
If AFV (Audio-Follows-Video) mode is enabled, changing the Input setting performs a
one-time override of AFV mode; the next time the video input selection is changed,
the audio will again follow it.
The Input selection for channels 1 and 2 cannot be selected independently if 96 kHz
AES Output mode (detailed later in this chapter) is enabled; they must then always be
set to the same input source.
When Dolby-E (Data) Mode is enabled (see Chapter 6, “Menus: Audio Setup”), the
audio input selection for channel 1 is locked to AES/EBU, and only this channel
supports Dolby-E data. SDI Embedded Audio cannot be used while in this mode.
Analog Bypass
Toggles between bypassing and processing the analog audio inputs.
Valid Settings: Process, Bypass
Default Setting: Process
