OPTIMOD-PC INSTALLATION
2-31
B)
Make your console or other program source output a correctly balanced test
tone, such that its left and right output level meters indicate identical levels.
C)
If the
M
IXER
O
UTPUT
meters on the
P
ROCESSOR
M
IXER
tab do not indicate iden-
tically, adjust the
P
AN
/B
ALANCE
control in the
A
NALOG
L/R
I
NPUT
block until they
do.
6.
Adjust the remaining input faders. (optional)
If you are using any of the other inputs (
D
IGITAL
1,
D
IGITAL
2,
WAVE
O
UT
F
ROM
P
C
),
perform steps 3 through 5 (above) for these sources, substituting the appropriate
fader and balance control for the analog control referenced in these steps. Be
sure that you are driving only the input you are adjusting; you can mute the
other inputs by checking their
M
UTE
boxes temporarily.
You can use a program like Adobe Audition to generate .WAVE files for
tone calibration.
7.
Set up the automatic backup feed function. (optional)
You may wish to configure your system so that OPTIMOD-PC will automatically
switch to a backup feed if a primary feed fails. The
A
NALOG
L/R
and
D
IGITAL
2
in-
puts can be programmed to mute automatically if the
D
IGITAL
1
input is locked to
an AES3 input signal, and to unmute if the
D
IGITAL
1
input loses lock.
To do this, check (by clicking) the
B
ACKUP
I
NPUT
F
OR
D
IGITAL
1
box on either (or
both) of the
A
NALOG
L/R
and
D
IGITAL
2
inputs. If both are checked, then a failure
of the
D
IGITAL
1
I
NPUT
will automatically unmute only the
D
IGITAL
2
I
NPUT
. If the
D
IGITAL
2
I
NPUT
then fails, the
A
NALOG
L/R
I
NPUT
will automatically unmute.
You can set these functions separately on the Processor mixer and the Di-
rect Mixer. The two mixers will behave independently according to their
individually set programming.
If both “backup for digital 1” and “mute” are selected, the backup func-
tion will override the mute function.
Output and Routing Switcher Setup
The three-switch output routing switcher determines the feed to:
•
The OPTIMOD-PC card’s stereo analog output
•
The OPTIMOD-PC card’s AES3 digital output.
•
The WAVE input to the computer.
Each output can receive any of the following four sources:
•
The WAVE output from the computer
