SOLIDYNE 562

dsp - broadcast digital processor

 

3.2 INSTALLATION SETTIN GS 

 

a) 

On  start  up,  the  562dsp  shows  by  a  few 

seconds  the  boot  screen  indicating  the  firmware 
version: 

 

Once  started;  the  processor  present  the  main 
screen; described in the item 3 of the Chapter 1.  

 

The unit always starts loading the last used 
program.

 

 

b)

  Pressing  and  holding  the  JOG  you  accede  to 

the 

Main  Menu 

of  the  right  screen.  Note  that  a 

little arrow 

appears below “EDIT PGM”.

 

 

Once  into  main  menu;  turn  the  JOG  until  select 
the desired option. The selected option is marked 
by 

a  little  arrow

  that  appears 

below  the  icons

Touch briefly the JOG to confirm the selection.  

 

 

WARNING

 

Remember  that  being  in  the  main  screen,  turning  the 

JOG  or  touching  it  briefly,  you  accede  to  the  mode 

‘program selection’. In this mode; turning the JOG you 
explore  the  562’s  programs.  In  order  to  leave  the 

‘programs selection’ mode, press and hold the JOG. In 

order  to  accede  to  the  main  menu  press  and  hold 

again.  
If  being  in  the  main  menu  or  any  settings  screen 
changes not occur during 10 minutes, the unit returns 

to the main screen, discarding the changes.  

 

3.2.1 INPUT SETUP 
a)

  Here  you  define  the 

audio  level

  and 

type  of 

input

.  The  operation  on  this  screen  follows  the 

concept  of  the  previous  ones:  to  select  an  option 
(“Input selection” or “Input level”) turn the JOG and 
touch  briefly  to  confirm.  Now  turn  the  JOG  again 
to  change  the  value  of  the  chosen  option.  Touch 
briefly to confirm. 

Selecting  this  option  the  following  screen  will 
appear: 

 

INPUT SELECTION 

 Analog:

 Select this option when the processor 

is connected ONLY through the analogical input. 

 Digital only: 

Choose this option  when the unit 

is  connected  ONLY  through  AES/3.  Also  the 
analogical  inputs  can  be  connected,  as  back  up, 
but  they  will  be  used  only  in  case  that  the  carrier 
of  signal  AES/3  interrupts.  In  this  case,  the 
equipment  exchanges  automatically  to  the 
analogical  inputs,  being  in  that  mode  until  the 
digital signal is reestablished. 

 

 Auto Search:

 (default) It uses the AES/3 digital 

inputs in case of finding a source of digital signal. 
Otherwise,  uses  the  analogical  inputs.  In  case  of 
finding only silence or a total lost of digital AES/3, 
the  unit  switches  to  the  analogical  inputs.  This 
type  of  faults  in  signal  AES/3  is  characteristic 
when  “a  digital  data link falls”.  As  signal  AES/3 is 
regenerated  in  the  receiver,  the  digital  streaming 
follows  present,  but  without  content  of  audio 
(channels muted).  

Reestablishing  the  signal  in  Auto  Search 

mode:

  After  losing  AES/3,  or  in  absence  AES 

signal,  or  absence  of  audio  in  this  digital  signal, 
the  equipment  switches  automatically  to  the 
analogical  mode.  The  reestablishment  to  the 
digital  mode  happens  in  immediately  in  case 
signal  AES/3  is  had  completely  lost.  Since  when 
recognizing  a valued  digital  carrier,  the  processor 
quickly returns to use the digital audio like source 
of incoming signal. In case the digital signal exists, 
but  the  same  one  contains  silence, the  processor 
operates  as  follows:  At  intervals  of  5  minutes  the 
processor  interrupts  briefly  (1  sec)  the  audio  on 
the left channel, connecting in its place the digital 
signal  of  the  left  channel;  verifying  soon  if  the 
digital  signal  were  reestablished.  If it  continues  in 
absolute  silence,  then  it  reestablishes  the 
analogical  signal.  This  process  is  repeated  time 
and  time  again  until  as  returns  signal  AES/3. 
When  the  digital  audio  reappears,  the  processor 
returns to digital mode. 

While the  digital  signal remains  absent,  the  audio 
on the left channel is briefly muted at intervals of 5
