f. INPUT SIDE ISSUE
- due to Solecis
Transmitter source audio port settings.
Any using Solecis 5x1 Multi-
Format Transmitter (SDX-514M-
DX/SDX-501M-DX)
1. Verify the transmitter audio setting by using NetLinx Studio
to send the following commands:
?AUDOUT_ASSIGN
2. If the port number is not the one you expect, and:
a.
you wish to use the same audio input port as the video
,
then from the System Configuration Interface Configuration
page, select the Input port and on the
SDX-514-DX 4K Digital
Switcher
sub-section select the source you desire.
b.
you wish to use the analog Audio Input port with HDMI
video
, then use NetLinx Studio to send the audio switch
command for the port you need, e.g. AI3O1 will send analog
audio input port 3 to the Solecis output port.
3. If you are still no getting audio, then look at one of the other
Audio is not present with good video
options in this table.
g. INPUT SIDE ISSUE
- due to the input
channel's Audio Configuration settings.
All
1. Select the input channel source the output channel(s) with
no audio and the select the
Audio
configuration tab.
2. Verify that
Input Gain
is not set too low. Note its current
setting and slide it to right to 24. If you don't get any audio,
you can return it to its prior setting. If you do, then adjust it to a
new desired setting.
h. INPUT SIDE ISSUE
- due to carrier video
signal having insufficient space for audio
signal.
A signal containing both video and
audio must have space for both signal
portions. The audio signal portion lies in
the blanked portion of the video signal.
High Bit Rate Audio (HBRA) requires a
larger than normal space in the blanked
area of the signal. Video formats with
reduced blanking normally provide
enough space for audio signals.
In a signal that combines a video format
with reduced blanking and HBRA, the
HBRA signal is truncated and can
present as either no audio or as
problematic audio. While Enova DGX
hardware supports both HBRA and
reduced blanking video formats, these
formats do not necessarily work with one
another.
All
Change either the audio format to non-HBRA or change the
video format to a format that does not use reduced blanking.
Note: HBRA is only supported on CEA formats.
These changes can be carried out directly on the source
device (see source manual) or by manipulating the EDID in
the input channel
i. OUTPUT SIDE ISSUE
- due to DVI output
device.
All
Devices with EDIDs that report themselves as "do not support
audio" and the audio is therefore blocked from being sent to
the device. See
Verifying an output devices capabilities as
communicated by its EDID
at end of table for more info on
how identify your devices audio capabilities.
j. OUTPUT SIDE ISSUE
-
Audio is not present
on 2-channel sink (TV/monitor) with
good video while it is present on a multi-
channel sink (AVR or TV/monitor that
supports multi-channel audio formats).
Most likely due to source's use of non-
PCM source audio format with a DxLink
Receiver analog output port's PCM 2-
channel requirement.
Any system
without
Audio
Switching Boards
(ASB or ASB-DAN)
See
1.c.
Note: You will essential need to reduce audio everywhere to
2-channel for that source.
k. OUTPUT SIDE ISSUE - Audio is not
present on DxLink Receiver (DX-RX, DX-
RX-4k) analog output port with good
video
due to source's use of non-PCM
source audio format with a DxLink
Receiver analog output port's PCM 2-
channel requirement.
Any using a DxLink Receiver's
analog output port
See
1.c.
if you
do not
have
Audio Switching Boards (ASB or
ASB-DAN).
See
1.m.
if you
do
have Audio Switching Boards (ASB or ASB-
DAN), you can use the audio Downmix channel to deliver
audio to your 2-channel only output devices. See
Configuring/Switching the Down-mix Signal
f
or information on how to set up and route your
downmix channel.
l. OUTPUT SIDE ISSUE - Audio is not present
on ASB analog output channel or ASB-D
Dante channel with good video
due to
source's use of non-PCM source audio
format with an switched audio sub-
system PCM 2-channel requirement.
Audio Switching Boards
(ASB or ASB-DAN)
If you have a system design that only supports 2-channel
audio on all of the system outputs, then see
1.c.
If you have ASB boards and a mixture of output devices,
some of which can handle compressed or multi-channel
audio, see
Configuring/Switching the Down-mix
section on page 188for information on how to set up
and route your down-mix channel to those devices that only
support 2-channel audio.
