5.3.11 Status Bar
At the top of every page of the Hilo screen is the status bar. This allows important information about the Hilo state to be visible at all
times. Let’s take a closer look.
Shows what page
is currently
displayed.
Displays the
output the rotary
encoder is
affecting, and
what the current
attenuation level
is. When you
adjust the level
the status bar
will transform to
a level bar.
Shows the active
scene. When
there is an * next
to the scene
name, this
indicates that
some alteration
to the scene has
been made. This
can be a handy
way to know if
your scene needs
to be re-saved
with these
changes.
This indicates
what SAMPLE
RATE the Hilo is
operating at.
This displays the
current SYNC
SOURCE. Will
be displayed with
RED TEXT if
the currently
selected SYNC
SOURCE is
invalid.
5.3.12 DSD Support
DSD support was added with Hilo Firmware revision 5.
This allows Hilo to play DSD audio files received via USB, AES-3 or S/PDIF. Hilo supports the recently adopted DoP V1.1 standard
which is a method for transferring DSD audio over PCM frames. Playback of DSD using this method is provided by a growing
number of software vendors including Channel D and Audirvana for Macintosh, and JRiver Media Player for Windows.
Using the DSD application of your choice, connect your computer using the USB or Digital Input (AES IN; S/PDIF COAX IN or
S/PDIF OPT IN). DSD audio in DoP V1.1 is automatically detected on either Play1 & 2 or the selected Digital In Source. If DSD is
detected on both of these sources, priority is given to Play 1 & 2.
As DSD requires a sample rate of 176.4kHz, a Hilo USB must be in 8-channel mode to support DSD playback. See Settings > System
> USB Mode. This is not a consideration with Thunderbolt or Dante systems.
While DSD is playing, any page that has level meters will show a DSD logo instead of the meters. As soon as DSD playback is
stopped, the level meter page will return.
DSD Routing: Upon detection of incoming DSD audio, the signal is automatically routed to the Line Outputs, Monitor Outputs, and
Headphone Output. Routing to the remaining outputs of Hilo is not affected.
