4.12 Monitoring audio meters

View the audio meters to verify the input and output signals.

About this task

Using the audio meters on the DP590, you can monitor either the input channels or the
rendered presentation output channels of the unit. To view the live channels, the client
software must be connected to the physical unit through the assigned IP address.

Procedure

1. In the 

View

 menu, select 

Meters

.

The 

Audio Meters

 window displays with the assigned PCM inputs and the rendered

presentation outputs on each of the corresponding 64 MADI channels in use.

2. To see the input and output signals at the same time, click both the 

Inputs

 and 

Ouputs

buttons so they are blue. To see only one set of channels at a time, click the button you
want to turn off so that it becomes gray.

3. Use the slider bar at the bottom of the window to view the entire range of channels.

4.13 Connecting to DP591

Complete the installation process by connecting to a DP591. You must connect to a DP591 if
you want to send metadata as part of the broadcast. You can connect to two DP591 units.

Procedure

1. In the 

Settings

 menu, click 

Metadata Servers Config

.

The 

Metadata Servers

 window displays.

2. Enter the IP address of one or two DP591 units, and then click 

OK

.

4.14 Sending metadata to DP591

Send metadata from a DP590 to the DP591 to enable the presentations in the broadcast
stream.

About this task

After establishing the presentations in the DP590, transmit the metadata to the DP591 for
encoding in the broadcast stream.

Note: 

The first saved presentation is the only one included by default in the metadata

transmission. You must select all other presentations you want to transmit.

Procedure

1. Have a presentation you want to use in the broadcast stream open in the DP590 GUI.

Note: 

If you change the name of the presentation name but make no other changes,

the metadata does not change. To reflect a presentation name change in metadata,
you must generate new program ID.
