Genie Distribution WheatNet Input Levels and PPMs

The codec supports 6 digital inputs/outputs, which  are  available  as  sources  and  destinations  using
the WheatNet-IP LAN interface.

Important Note:

 Inputs can also be configured using the HTML5 Toolbox Web-GUI. See

Configuring Codec Input/Output Settings

 for more information.

Adjusting PPM Meter Reference Scale Settings

By  default,  the 

PPM  METERS

  on  the  front  of  the  codec,  or  in  the  HTML5  Toolbox  Web-GUI,  use

dBFS to express nominal operating, headroom and noise floor levels.

The  codec  can  also  automatically  adapt  to  different  Tieline  reference  scales.  A  Tieline  codec  with
proprietary Tieline  session  data  enabled  will  automatically  adjust  the  reference  level  to  suit  G5  and
G3  codecs,  or  Report-IT.  When  connecting  to  a  non-Tieline  codec,  or  a  Tieline  codec  without
session data enabled, the codec will use the 

Tieline G5

 reference scale setting.

The default Tieline G5 audio reference  scale  displayed  on  the  PPMs  when  you  connect  to  a  Tieline
G5  codec  is  -38dBFS  to  0dBFS  (e.g.  Merlin,  Genie,  Bridge-IT  and  ViA  codec  families).  Using  this
reference  scale  audio  peaks  can  safely  reach  0dBFS  without  clipping,  providing  18dB  of  headroom
from the nominal 0vu point. The comparison table below outlines the reference scales for  G5  and  G3
codecs and Report-IT in dBFS, as well as the equivalent dBU scale.

The audio reference level settings in the codec are:

0dBFS

Important Note:

 If a codec supports multiple stream programs and the 

Auto

 (default)

reference level is selected, the first codec to connect will configure the reference level
used for all subsequent connections. I.e. If a G3 codec connects first then the G3 Audio
Reference Level will be configured for all connections.
