Chapter 3 Writing on the Luminex
Audio
The Luminex allows you to record an audio file that is automatically synchronized to your written steno
notes. To record, you must enable the Luminex audio option, Record Audio During Job and connect a
microphone to the Luminex. Stenograph recommends using either a microphone that is battery
powered or a high gain microphone that receives power from the connected device.
The Luminex saves the audio files to the Backup SD and Data SD cards. Audio files take up additional
space on the SD cards. When the Record Audio During Job option is enabled, the additional space is
always used regardless of whether or not you have a microphone connected to the Luminex and are
recording. The amount of additional space is determined by the audio option, Audio Format.
When there is less than 75MB available on the Data SD card, you can begin writing a job but no audio
records regardless of the audio options selected. The following message displays when there is
insufficient space to record: Space is TOO Low. Audio Will Not Be Recorded To Data SD Card.
While writing a job and there is only 12MB available on the Data SD card, the audio stops recording.
The following message displays: Space is Low. Audio Has Stopped Recording To Data SD Card.
Luminex audio options enable you to listen to the recording live. You can connect a headset or
speakers to the Luminex for audio playback.
Audio Hardware Setup
To prepare for audio recording:
1. Plug the microphone into the microphone jack ( ) on the back of the Luminex.
Using a direct feed from a videographer to the microphone jack is not recommended since most of
those feeds are line level (much higher) and not microphone level.
2. Confirm the Data SD card is properly inserted in the Luminex.
3. If you are using headphones or speakers to listen to the live recording or for playback, plug the
headphones ( ) into the headphone jack on the back of the Luminex.
4. The placement of the microphone directly affects the quality of the audio file. Position the
microphone away from audio playback devices, such as speakers.
5. Set necessary Audio options. Ensure the option, Record Audio During Job is set to On.
Audio Options
The options Record Audio During Job and Audio Format must be set before opening a job on the
Luminex. All other audio options are accessible while writing.
To set audio options:
1. From the Opening or First Writing menu, touch Setup, Audio.
