Silence Detectors - RB-DSD1 3
MAIN Source Select and Indicators
This button allows you to select which input source you would like to use,
from one of the AES/EBU, S/PDIF or TOSlink inputs. The three LEDs above
the button illustrate which source is selected. The button itself will also be
illuminated.
Button Colour
Indication
Solid green
Indicating that this is the input that
is currently being output
Solid red
Indicating that this input is not
selected
Flashing between green and red
Indicating a loss of lock to that
input
There are also green and red LEDs, one of each for both left and right
channels to show the programme and alarm state of the input. The
programme LEDs will be illuminated if the level is above the current silence
threshold. If the input is in an alarmed state, the red alarm LEDs will be
illuminated.
AUX Source Select and Indicators
The operation of this button is identical to the above.
RESTORE Button
The Restore button is used for restoring the main source signal when the
unit is operating in Manual Mode. When the main source signal returns
after it has timed out, the AUTO LED flashes, indicating that the source
signal can be restored. When the Restore button is pressed the main
source returns. This can be remotely controlled using pin 7 of the remotes
connector.
SYNC Mode button
This button allows you to cycle through the synchronisation modes. The
LEDS around the button display which mode has been selected. If the
selected synchronisation source
(see front panel DIPSwitch section for settings) is not locked, the button will
flash green and red.
SERIAL Mode indicator
If serial mode is selected (see front panel DIPSwitch section for settings)
this led will be illuminated.
Reset Button
In the unlikely event that the RB-DSD1 unit fails to respond, press the reset
button to reboot the unit (see Fig 10-3 for location).
Front Panel DIPSwitches
The front panel DIPSwitches are concealed behind the screw panel located
on the front of the unit.

The silence detect interval DIPSwitches adjust the duration over which a
silence is detected before alarming which ranges from 2-252 seconds (by
adding together the raised DIPSwitches, in 2 second intervals). If all the
DIPSwitches are down, (off) the duration defaults to 30 seconds. This can
be changed using the SCi serial software.
Serial Mode Setting
To activate serial mode, set DIPSwitch 8 on (up).
When activated, the serial mode LED illuminates
on the front panel (see Fig 10-3) and the unit can
be controlled serially instead of from the front
panel controls, using the SCi software.
