Audio Mixer
The audio mixer tab in DashBoard provides a graphical
interface to all the audio sources and mixer layers. An
audio channel must be routed to the switcher subsystem
to be controllable by the audio mixer interface. Audio
sources can come from the embedded audio on an input
BNC, through the 1RU Audio Breakout Module, from
the Media-Store, or from the Windows
®
sound mixer.
Note: The audio mixer interface is only available in DashBoard.
Audio Mixer Setup
The audio mixer has 4 mixer layers that can be congured
for which inputs are available to them and which physical
outputs they are routed to.
Note: The PC Audio input and output are routed through the
Windows
®
sound mixer.
To Set Up the Audio Mixer
The audio mixer works in conjunction with the 1RU
Audio Breakout Module to provide AES and analog XLR
inputs and outputs. Audio inputs and outputs are set up
both on the switcher subsystem and on the 1RU Audio
Breakout Module.
