13.2 - 13-8 Mix Down Input Mapping (LF, RF, CTR, LR, RR, LS, RS)
When Map is selected above, these menus permit the mapping of any FS3 audio
input channel or signal generator to any of the mixer inputs (L Front, R Front,
Center, L Rear, R Rear, and in 7.1 mode L Surround and R Surround). Each mixer
input can also be turned Off (muted). Default setting is Off.
13.9 - 13.14 Mix Down Input Level
In Mix Down Mode, multi-channel input channels are mixed to the Left and Right
output channels. The level of each input signal sent to its mixed output can be
adjusted plus or minus 18 dB, in half dB increments, using these menu controls.
The default settings are set to the basic equations above, and are listed below.
LF Level
RF Level
CTR Level
LR Level
RR Level
LS Level (7.1 mode only)
RS Level (7.1 mode only)
0 dB (unity) to Left output.
0 dB (unity) to Right output.
-3 dB from unity to both the Left and Right outputs.
-3 dB from unity to the Left output.
-3 dB from unity to the Right output.
-3 dB from unity to the Left output.
-3 dB from unity to the Right output.
NOTE: The LFE channel is not used in the stereo mix down output, but is passed through
the FS3 audio routing matrix.
13.16 - 13.17 Mix Down Output Lft Rt Level
The level of the Left and Right mixer output signal can be adjusted plus or minus
18 dB, in half dB increments, using these menu controls. Default is 0 dB (unity).
15 Mix Down Reset
This parameter resets all of the mix down levels (five or seven input, two output)
for the mixer to the factory defaults.
Choose Mixer

16 Embedded Audio Out
This parameter selects whether or not audio is embedded in the SDI1/SDI2/
Fiber1/Fiber2 outputs.
On
Mute
Off
The output of the Audio Processor is embedded in the Video Processor
output.
Audio packets are embedded, but they are set for silence.
No embedded audio (HANC) is generated.
About Audio Routing
The SDI1 through SDI4 Audio Output menu titles refer to portions of the FS3 SDI
embedded audio output signal (embedded audio groups), not the SDI 1-4 BNC
connectors. The selected input source audio is routed to all the corresponding
FS3 output connectors. As the simplest example, if the FS3 receives an HD
signal carrying a single group of 16 embedded audio channels and up-converts
that signal to a four link output, all the audio will be carried on the first output
connector of each of the three output signals (BNC1, BNC 5, Fiber 1). See
