• Peakmeter Settings
This button is shown when the Program Meter combo
box (above) is set to the PPM option. The peakmeter
section of the unit can be confi gured individually for each

tions).
• PPM + Loudness Settings
This button is shown when the Program Meter combo
box above is set to one of the options ITU BS.1771 ,
EBU R128 , ATSC A/85 , ARIB or Custom . The loud-
ness options of the unit can be confi gured individually for
each Sub Preset. They are only available for the channel
modes
2 Channel Stereo and 5.1 . The button PPM +
Loudness Settings opens a new menu page (see PPM
+ Loudness Settings chapter below for detailed descrip-
tions).
• Source
Use this option to select the input connector carrying the
desired Monitoring signal.
• While
the PPM option is selected in the Program
Meter combo box, the following options are available:
Analog 1 , Analog 2 , Digital 3 , Digital 4 , SDI (if fi t-
ted, S and SD versions), Decoder (if enabled, D and
SD versions).
• While one of the options ITU BS.1771 , EBU R128 ,
ATSC A/85 , ARIB or Custom is selected in the
Program Meter combo box, the following options are
available:
Digital 3 , Digital 4 , SDI (if fi tted, SD versions), De-
coder (if enabled, SD versions).
NOTE - The output signal of the decoder is only
selectable as a source if the decoder was enabled in the
decoder section.
• L, R, …
(ONLY available with 2-Channel Stereo and Surround modes)
Depending on the channel mode selected in the
Mode
combo box, up to eight logical channels L, R, … with
combo boxes are displayed. Each combo box shows the
available physical input channels to be assigned individu-
ally to the corresponding logical channel.
The routing for the 2-Channel Stereo and 3.1 , 5.1 , 6.1 ,
7.1 Surround modes is best described with an example:
With 7.1 Cinema selected in the Mode combo box abo-
ve on the same menu page (see Main Settings chapter
further ahead), the logical channels L, R, C, LF, LS, RS, LC
and RC are available and labeled. For each logical channel
there is a combo box offering all (up to 16) physical input
channels of the selected source. In this way, each individu-
al Metering channel can be assigned to any physical input
channel from that source.
• With
Analog selected as source signal, 8 channels
are available: 1 , …, 8
• With Digital selected as source signal, 8 channels
are available: 1a , 1b , …, 4a , 4b
• With SDI selected as source signal, all 16 SDI chan-
nels are available: 4 groups ( Grp 1 , …, Grp 4 ) with 4
channels ( Ch 1 , …, Ch 4 ) each.
• With Decoder selected as input source, a reasonable
input assignment between the decoder output chan-
nels and the internal channels is performed automati-
cally by the unit.
Examples
• With channel mode 3.1 selected, the decoder is
set to the Dolby® Pro Logic I type (see Type
combo box above right) and the decoder output
is routed to the four internal channels this way:
L > left
R > right
C > center
S > surround
• With channel mode 5.1 selected, the decoder is
set to the Dolby® Auto (AC-3 / E) type (see
Type combo box above right on the menu page)
and the decoder output is routed to the channels
1 to 6.
Nevertheless, the user has the option to modify this pre-
selected assignment anytime.
A special selection can be made when 5.1 is selected in
the Mode combo box and the decoder Type is set to Dol-
by® AC-3 (see previous chapter):
• With
Decoder selected as input source, the two
output channels Aux L and Aux R are available
for assignment in addition to the decoded output
signals. These two channels carry the downmix signal
automatically generated by the internal Dolby® de-
coder. Please do not confuse these signals with the
downmix options that are confi gurable manually in
the unit (see
Downmix Routing chapter below). The
downmix signals Aux L and Aux R are a useful way
to check how a consumer receiver would generate a
downmix signal automatically.
NOTE - It is not possible to mix input chan-
nels coming from different sources, e. g. if Digital 3 is
selected as source connector, only the eight channels
of this source are available for assignment.
