5.8.1  CH 1-2, CH 3-4, … CH 15-16 tabs, and AES1, … AES4 tabs 

 
Each of these tabs provides all necessary controls for the 
output mixers. The example shown is for 3G/HD Output, CH 
1-2, but all panels have the same controls. 
 

Operation Mode (Off, A, SUM(A+B), Mix):

 This menu allows 

the source(s) of each output channel to be selected – a 
single channel, the sum of two channels or a mix of two 
channels. 

 

Off:

 The output channel is muted. 

 

A

:   The output channel is the channel source (

ABUS 

Select

 and 

Channel

) selected in sub-menu SOURCE A. 

 

SUM (A+B)

:  The output channel is the sum of the two 

channels sources (

ABUS Select

 and 

Channel

) selected 

in sub-menus SOURCE A and SOURCE B. 
 

 

If you select this option, the SUM (A+B) Level pull-
down is activated, allowing you to reduce the level of 
the summed output (0dB, -3dB or -6dB). 

 

Mix

:  The output channel is a mono mix of the (

ABUS 

Select

 and 

Channel

) selected in sub-menus SOURCE A 

and SOURCE B. 

Mix 4Ch

This mode allows a 3-input or 4-input mix on 

the chosen even output. A standard 2-input mix is 
available on the odd output. On the same tab, the two 
selected sources of the even channel are mixed with the one or two selected sources of the odd channel. The 
four sources are mixed, with the level of each source adjusted using its slider or data entry box. You can swap the 
odd and even output by putting a check mark in the Channel Swap (1&2) checkbox.  Note that in the Mix 4Ch 
mode, if the Mute box is checked, only the even channel sources will be muted, the odd channel sources will still 
pass to the output. 

 

Note:  in the case of SUM and MIX, if either of the two input channels is non-PCM, the output will always be 
SOURCE A 

 
Mute

:  Mute the audio channel by checking this box.  In the MIX4Ch mode, checking this box will mute only the 

sources of the selected output channel. 

 

Source A & Source B

:  These sub-sections allow the source channels (A and B) to be selected for each output 

channel. 

 

ABUS Select

:  V, A1, A2: selects the embedded input audio (V), one of two audio companion cards (A1 or A2 

channels 1-8) or one of two Dolby decoder modules installed on companion cards (A1 or A2 channels 9-16) to be 
used as the source for this channel.  Note: The ABUS card system is configured in the 

ABUS

 panel. 

 

Channel

:  Channel 1,  …, Channel 16:  selects the channel to be used from the selected audio source. 

 

Level (dB)

: Sets the audio gain of the channel source from -96 to +12 dB in 0.5 dB steps.  For non-PCM audio, 

the level value is overridden to 0 dB.
