HD P3 / Aug 2006
AES Output 2 Delay
The HD P3 has two physical AES output jacks. The second output may
be delayed relative to the first, by setting a delay value in milliseconds using
the Coarse and Fine delay controls. The delay function is intended for use
in applications where AES output 1 connects to the digital HD air chain and
AES Output 2 connects to the analog FM air chain.
COARSE DELAY - this slider is used to set the approximate amount of
delay required at the AES 2 output. The slider’s range is from OFF to 10
seconds of delay adjustable in 50mS increments.
FINE DELAY - this slider is used to “tune” the amount of delay applied
to the AES 2 output. The slider’s range is either OFF or adjustable from 6.0
to 49.9 milliseconds of delay in 100 microsecond increments.
DELAY UNPROCESSED - checking this box routes the AES input
audio directly to the AES-2 delay circuitry, effectively bypassing the
primary processing chain. The signal available at the AES 2 jack is then
simply the AES input plus any added delay.
Entering Delay Values
You can double click on the delay value window to directly enter a
numeric delay value in milliseconds. This is useful when you know roughly
how much delay is required or wish to try various values quickly. You may
also hold down the Ctrl key on your keyboard while adjusting a delay slider
to effect precise, incremental steps. As indicated above, note that the
minimum amount of useful delay is set at 6mS, just above the HD P3’s
latency.
