The phase meters decay back to the middle LEDs once the signals are removed. A single green implies
the phase was in the green zone prior to mute. A single red implies the phase was in the red zone prior
to mute.
A dropout detector is also provided, as described below.
Connection
The monitor bridge is connected between the Realiser and the set-top. Use the 3.5 mm 4-conductor
cable (provided with the bridge) to connect the Realiser
IR REF
output to the bridge
IR REF IN
.
Connect the set-top cable to the bridge
IR REF OUT
.
Setup and operation
The monitor bridge is set up and operated by the Realiser remote control as follows.
METR
clears the peak hold indications and the dropout detector.
MENU-METR
sets up the monitor bridge. It allows adjustment of level meter range, decay ballistics,
peak hold time, backlight illumination, and dropout detection parameters. The screen will say:

RANGE
-- Each level meter has sixteen segments: one red and fifteen green.
RANGE
assigns the
segments as follows.
72 dB
: -72, -69, -66, -63, -60, -57, -54, -48, -42, -36, -30, -24, -18, -12, -6, clip
78 dB
: -78, -75, -72, -69, -66, -60, -54, -48, -42, -36, -30, -24, -18, -12, -6, clip
84 dB
: -84, -81, -78, -72, -66, -60, -54, -48, -42, -36, -30, -24, -18, -12, -6, clip
90 dB
: -90, -84, -78, -72, -66, -60, -54, -48, -42, -36, -30, -24, -18, -12, -6, clip
DECAY
-- Controls the decay rate of the level meters. The choices are
TRACK
,
FAST
,
MEDIUM
,
and
SLOW
.
TRACK
means the meters track the signal with no slowing of the decay.
HOLD
-- The Realiser level meters include a peak hold indicator: the peak segment remains lit
for a selectable length of time. The options are, in seconds,
1
,
2
,
4
,
8
,
15
,
30
,
60
, and
EE
.
With the
EE
setting, the peak LED will remain lit until cleared by
METR
.
