Merlin 2003 DV and MPEG-2 Recorder and Dual Stream Decoder
Page 33
This section of the recorder application allows you to control Audio recording.
a)
File button – This button brings up a dialog box allowing you to select an audio file or an Audio Play List
file. Audio files end in .wav and Audio Play List files end in .apl. The Audio Play List format is the same
as the Video Play List format without any transition files.
b)
File name – This text box specifies the current audio file and also lets you type a file name directly.
c)
File position – This field shows you the time code of the current audio sample.
d)
Motion control buttons – These six buttons are used to control video motion.
1)
RECORD – Starts recording audio.
2)
PAUSE – Pauses audio recording.
3)
STOP – Stops recording audio.
e)
Link to Video – When this box is checked any motion control operations that are done on the Video are
duplicated on the Audio controls.
f)
Audio Source – These drop down lists let you select which audio input to map to the encoder inputs as well
as how many channels of audio to capture.
g)
Sample Rate – These radio buttons let you select the sample rate that the audio Analog to Digital converter
should use.
h)
Panel Box Enable - This check box should be checked when the Merlin2003 is connected to a Skymicro
Panel Box. Note AES 1 and 2 are not operational without a panel box connected.
i)
Audio Outputs – These drop down lists let you map audio inputs to any audio output.
This section of the recorder application allows you to select the resolution at which the video should be recorded.
This section of the recorder application allows you to turn on and off temporal filtering in the Luma(black and
white) and chroma (color) space. This helps achieve lower bitrate MPEG-2 files by reducing the amount of motion
that occurs between successive video frames. Although it does reduce the bitrate it also has the effect reducing
video quality. For applications where low bitrate is a must these setting can help reduce block artifacts in exchange
for motion filtering.
