Max Output Level
For Film mixing and Post Production it’s often required to set the max peak output level to
a value below Full Scale. The best place to adjust this is the Finalizer Engine Output fader
on the Main UNIT•Y screen.
Gain Transfer Function
If you need a technical explanation for the Thresholds, Ratios and Ranges, this diagram
shows the static gain transfer function through the system.
Signal Levels and Thresholds refer to digital Full Scale, 0dBFS.
If the line is above the 45 degree dotted line, gain is added.
If the line is below the 45 degree dotted line, the signal is attenuated.
