10.1.2 Audio Connections
Normally three audio output channels of the DigiMedia system are used for
its on-air signals. Connect them to the desired inputs of the OnAir 500 and
make sure the input routing as well as the relay assignment is set up correctly
(refer to chapters 10.1 and 4.17).
A fourth audio output channel of the DigiMedia system is used for pre-lis-
tening to a title according to the selection on the DigiMedia screen. Connect
this channel to one of the external monitoring inputs (
EXT 1
through
EXT 4
)
on the rear of the OnAir 500; these inputs are located on the ANALOGUE I/O
connector. For connector pin assignment refer to chapter 12.2.3.
10.1.3 Operation
Manual Title Start:
Once these connections are established, the DigiMedia system is controlled
by the fader start relay contacts. If the fader of one of the channels is opened
while the channel is switched
ON (or the other way round, if the channel is
switched ON while the fader is already opened), the DigiMedia system starts
playing the corresponding title.
Pre-Listening: When starting the pre-listening function in the DigiMedia system by click-
ing on the LISTEN button on the DigiMedia screen, followed by selecting a
title, the DigiMedia system immediately sends the desired title over the
fourth channel of its audio card. Make sure that the source (
EXT 1
through
EXT 4 ) is correctly selected in the CONTROL ROOM MONITOR area of the
console, and set the desired pre-listening level with the knob next to the MUTE
button.
