SDI MULTILINK
When connected to an SDI source, the Input menu will have an additional section called
SDI MULTILINK. The SHOGUN STUDIO 2 supports dual and quad link SDI input. By
default, SDI sources will use a single input signal, to switch to Dual or Quad link, tap Mode
under SDI MULTILINK. When using Multilink each input must be the same fram-
erate/resolution and synced to a reference signal. Only channels 1 and 2 of SDI embed-
ded audio, plus analogue audio are recorded in multilink mode. When in Multilink mode
you have access to all monitoring, recording and output features available in single chan-
nel mode. The SDI signal over IN1 will act as the master reference for Timecode and Trig-
ger in both Quad and Dual link modes.
