Receiver View
Nova’s Internal receiver can be viewed and adjust from this menu.
The receiver view screen is divided into two sections, one sector for each module. Each sector will display the
following information:
•
Frequency -
The frequency that the receiver is set to. If the module is in dual mode both frequencies will be
displayed. The A frequency will be on the left and the B receiver will be on the right. If the frequency is
highlighted in red that means the selected frequency is outside the 35MHz filter. Keep in mind while
frequencies outside the range of the 35MHz filter may work but the performance may be less than optimal.
•
Battery level -
A battery indicator will display the approximate battery level for each transmitter. A fully
charged battery will display green and then turn red as the battery depletes its charge. The battery icon will
start blinking when the battery has roughly 15 to 30 minutes of charge left. Please note that when the battery
is low the transmitter may not go into record.
•
Transport status -
The transport status of the transmitter’s onboard recorder will be indicated just above
the RF signal strength meter:
•
STOP - Recording / Playback is stopped
•
REC - The transmitter is recording
•
PLAY - The transmitter is playing back
•
RF Signal Strength -
Each module has two RF meters, one for each receiver. The meters show the amount
of RF signal being received in green. The signal level is visually displayed in the ramp shaped RF meter icon. As
the shading increases from the left to the right the more signal is present. If the icon is shaded red when the
transmitter is powered down that means the receiver is seeing unwanted RF from a source other than from the
corresponding transmitter. Within the icon the actual signal strength, in decibels, is displayed numerically.
•
Audio Meter -
Each module will display audio meter(s) for each signal received. If the module is set to single
mode one large meter will be shown. If the module is set to dual mode two meters will be shown. If the module
is receiving a signal from a stereo transmitter the large meter will be split in half into two smaller meters,
representing the left and right audio of the transmitter. The meters will show the audio modulation in dBFS.
Within each meter the signal level will be green (up to -20dBFS), yellow (from -20dBFS to -10dBFS), and red
(above -10 dBFS). There is also a peak hold indicator.
If a meter has a white X through it that is showing that the receiver is not receiving a valid signal.
