4-2 Preparations for Playback
4-5 (E)
4-2-2 Selecting the Playback Port to
be Controlled
Because the MAV-555SS can handle up to three playback
ports, when making the various settings concerning
playback it is first necessary to specify which playback
port is the target of the setting. (Settings must be made
individually for each port.)
To select a playback port, press the PORT SELECT button
that corresponds to that port so that the button is lit.
Note
The PORT SELECT button that needs to be pressed in
order to select a playback port depends on the port
configuration selected on the menu, as described in the
table below.
4-2-3 Selecting the Video and Audio
Signals to be Monitored
This section describes how to select the video and audio
signals to be monitored.
Note
The video and audio signals in the monitor output are
those of the currently selected port.
Selecting the video signals to be
monitored
The video signal of the currently selected port is output
from the SDI (SUPER) and ANALOG COMPOSITE
(SUPER) connectors.
Character information is superimposed on the outputs
from these connectors.
For details of settings relating to the superimposed character
information, see Section 3-4-1, “Basic Menu Settings” (page 3-18).
Selecting the audio signals to be
monitored
Using the AUDIO INPUT/MONITOR SELECT buttons,
switch the audio signals output from the PHONES jack,
SDI (SUPER) connector, and MONITOR OUTPUT L/R
connectors, as follows.
1
Press the MONITOR SELECT button, turning it on.
The AUDIO INPUT/MONITOR SELECT buttons
which are lit show the current monitoring selection.
2
Press the corresponding buttons, turning them on, to
select from channels 1 to 4 for the L and R monitoring
channels (a channel can be assigned to both L and R).
Notes
• The monitored audio signal uses the same port as the
video signal.
• Audio signals output from the SDI (SUPER) connector
are as follows:
CH1: Audio monitor output. Same as the Lch signal.
CH2: Audio monitor output. Same as the Rch signal.
CH3: No output.
