it means that the A channel is set to 1 kHz frequency and the B channel is set to 400 Hz
frequency.
Output Level and Frequency Adjust
The output level of the AES signals can be adjusted individually over a range from digital full
scale, ​ 0dBFS ​ , to digital silence, ​ OFF ​ . Incremental adjustment can be made in 1 dB steps in the
range from 0 to ­30dBFS and in 10 dB steps in the range from ­30 to ­60dBFS, Digital silence
( ​ OFF ​ ) is the step below ­60dBFS.
The frequency of the individual outputs may be set to 100 Hz, 400 Hz or 1 kHz.
To change the level ensure that you are in the level display mode (for example the read­out
displays ​ AES2 A/B ­20/­10 ​ ) press the ​ SELECT knob once and the read­out will show ​ AES2
A ­20dBFS, to change this level rotate the ​ ADJUST knob in either direction to set a new level.
Push the ​ SELECT knob once more for the B channel. If it is desired to change the frequency of
the A or B channel push the
​
ADJUST knob. (Please note that once an individual AES channel
is selected pushing the ​ ADJUST knob toggles between level and frequency) Once all the level
and frequency adjustments are completed push the ​ SELECT knob to return to ​ A/B status
display window. Rotate the ​ SELECT ​ knob to select another AES output.
Selecting the ​ ​ Reference Input ​ :
Press the
​
SELECT and
​
ADJUST knobs simultaneously. The readout will display one of the
following:
Ref AES, ​ which means that an external AES reference signal is selected
Ref Video, ​ which means that an external NTSC video black reference signal is selected
Ref Int 48k,
​
which means that the internal 48 kHz reference is selected
Ref Int 96k, ​ which means that the internal 96 kHz reference is selected
To select the appropriate reference signal rotate the
​
ADJUST knob. To exit the reference
selection menu rotate the ​ SELECT knob counter­clockwise to display ​ Exit Setup and push
the ​ SELECT knob once. (Note that if the unit will eventually time out and return to the status
display mode if the exit procedure is not executed)
Setting the Reference Output (AES or Word Clock)
Press the
​
SELECT and
​
ADJUST knobs simultaneously. The reference display will appear.
Turn the ​ SELECT knob clockwise and the display will read ​ AES1 AES or ​ AES1 Wrd Clk
indicating whether that output is set to deliver an AES or Word Clock signal. To choose the
appropriate signal rotate the ​ ADJUST knob to toggle between the two types of output signal.
Rotate the
​
SELECT
​
knob to scroll through AES outputs 1 to 4.
Please note that if an output has been set to deliver a Word Clock signal level and
frequency adjustments can not be made.
