Rate Select
This button displays the current sample rate of the Hilo and can also be used to select a desired sample rate when the Hilo is operating
off of its Internal Clock. However, when on Internal clock, the sample rate is generally determined by the audio application being
used, or the default sample rate settings in the operating system.

Monitor and

RTA
The Hilo Remote display can be customized by the user. The Default page view is the Monitor display. This page reveals meters and
faders for all input and output channels, as well as controls for Sync Source, Trim Levels, I/O parameters, etc. Monitor view can be
toggled to RTA view. RTA view reveals the Hilo 30-band Realtime Analyzer. The Monitor and RTA buttons allow the user to toggle
between these two views.
Monitor view will be explored in depth in the section below. RTA
view presents the user with a high resolution
Analysis Tool. This is an expanded version of the RTA that is
available for the Hilo touchscreen display
.
The stereo 30 band Real-time Spectrum Analyzer (RTA) is a very
useful diagnostic and reference tool. The Hilo RTA computes the RMS
energy in 30 frequency bands for left and right channels of a selected
stereo input or output every sample period. This is a brilliant tool for
mixing, mastering and even system troubleshooting
The RTA display can be customized with the following controls:
Boost or cut the program
material in 3dB increments
to get the best meter reading.
Amount of cut or boost is
displayed with a mouse
over.
The Peak Hold controls can be
set to Auto, or Manual. In
Manual Mode the user can
press “Reset” to capture the
peak levels at any point in
time.
The Decay Rate setting
controls how quickly the peak
hold indicators clear the
screen. Choose between Slow
(the default), Medium or Fast.
The source selection buttons
allow the RTA to be used for
any input or output on the
Hilo. The faders allow
analog volume control for
the Monitor or Phones.
