Setup/Operating Instructions

BBG-1003-UDX-ADDA Function Menu List and Descriptions

Provides an audio crosspoint allowing the audio source 
selection for each AES audio output channel. Also 
provides Gain, Phase Invert, and Muting controls and 
peak level meters for each output channel.

Note: 

AES Out Ch 2 has controls identical to the SourceGainMute, and Invert controls described here for AES Out 
Ch 1
. Therefore, only the AES Out Ch 1 controls are shown here.

• 

For each channel, its source and destination should be considered and appropriately set. Unused destination 
channels should be set to the Silence selection.

• AES Output Channel Source

Using the drop-down list, selects the audio input source to be embedded 
in the corresponding embedded output channel from the following 
choices:

• Card Audio Bus Ch 1 thru Ch 16

• Built-in Tone generators Tone n

(-20 dBFS level tone generators with n being frequencies of 100, 200, 
300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1k, 2k, 4k, 6k, 8k, 12k, and 16k)

• Flex Bus A thru mixer sum node outputs

Audio LTC 

• Downmixer L

• Downmixer R

• Channel Mute/Phase Invert/Gain Controls 

and Peak Level Display

Provides Mute and phase Invert channel controls, as well as peak level 
meter for each output channel. (Meter shows level as affected by Level 
control.)

Gain controls allow relative gain (in dB) control for the corresponding 
destination AES output channel.

(-80 to +20 dB range in 1.0 dB steps; unity = 0 dB)
