SDI Status indication section
Lock status indicator
The Lock status field shows the top-level lock
status of an incoming SDI stream.
► When DB6 is locked to an acceptable SDI
stream on the SDI input, “Lock” is shown.
►
When no acceptable SDI stream is available
on the SDI input, “No Lock” and a red LED
will be shown in this field.
Format indicator
When the DB6 is locking to an incoming SDI
stream, the Format indicator field will show the
format – e.g. “1080i59.94 HD”. If the DB6 is not
locking to any incoming SDI stream, the Format
indicator field will read “N/A”.
Available Groups indicators
SDI with embedded audio carries up to 16 chan-
nels
of audio, divided into four
groups.
Accord-
ingly, each group carries four channels of audio.
The four Available Groups indicators show which
audio groups are available in the incoming SDI
stream for metering and processing. The on-
screen LED for each available group will light up
in green. If the DB6 is not locking to an incoming
SDI stream, all indicators are turned off.
Audio (In) Groups selector
Settings: “Groups 1+2”/“Groups 3+4”/“Groups
1+3”/“Groups 1+4”/“Groups 2+3”/“Groups 2+4”
Use the Audio Groups selector to select audio
groups for metering and processing.
! Please note that DB6 always receives two of
the audio groups in the incoming stream. The
unprocessed audio groups are bypassed bit-
transparently, as well as all related SDI pack-
ets such as video time code, close captions
etc.
