A drop-down Connection Type menu at the top allows selection between the following input
options:
1. Analog

Mic – low impedance microphones and other common professional audio
sources

Mic + Phantom (power) – microphones (typically condenser mics) requiring
supplementary DC power

Line – consumer audio sources such as CD players, VCRs, etc.
2. Digital

AES/EBU – a professional digital audio protocol connected using BNC
connectors

SDI Embedded – digital audio embedded with digital video transmitted via a
Serial Digital Interface (SDI) connection
Because of its support for connecting microphones, Input 1 has several other special features,
discussed next.
TALK
The Talk switch (also known as “Talk Over”) is shown when the Connection Type for Input 1 is
Mic (or Mic + Phantom ).
It is often important to be able to reduce all other audio input levels so an announcement made
using a microphone connected to
Input 1 can be clearly understood by the audience.
Enabling Talk (Figure 185) reduces the output level of all other audio sources by 20dB.
