Manual
INPUT RE-CLOCKING
Indicates Input Re-Clocking is On or Off. Press the RE-CLOCKING button to toggle the setting. Note
that this function applies only to the AES/EBU inputs and does not affect the AES External Sync and
Word Clock inputs. Settings are individual for either INPUT 1 (AES 1) or INPUT 2 (AES 2). , and are
memorized and retained through power outages.
MODE
Indicates whether incoming AES/EBU input signal is Pro or Consumer mode.
INPUT EQ
Enables automatic input equalization for long input cables. LOCKED indicates input data is present and
acceptable. ENABLED indicates equalization is applied. Press the INPUT EQ button to enable
automatic equalization. Settings are memorized and retained through power outages. Jitter may be
reduced even more when used in conjunction with re-clocking.
SOURCE MONITOR & CONTROL
Selects the input source to be monitored and/or controlled; either INPUT 1 (AES 1), INPUT 2 (AES 2),
AES SYNC-IN (AES SYNC) or WORD CLOCK INPUT (WCLK). Internal Generator settings are made
when WCLK selected. To monitor an input signal, use Source Monitor Select to determine error details
by selecting particular input.
FRONT PANEL LOCK
The Front Panel Lock protects your front panel settings. Press and hold the FRONT PANEL LOCK
button to lock all the front panel controls. Press and hold again to unlock.
REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS AND SWITCHES
AES/EBU INPUT 1
Provides a balanced, transformer isolated 110 ohm AES/EBU input that may be routed to XLR Outputs
1 through 4, Outputs 5 through 8 or BNC Outputs 1 through 6 via the configuration DIP switches. A
Frame Clock (Word Clock) is derived from this input, which may be routed to any or all output groups.
AES/EBU INPUT 2
Provides a balanced, transformer isolated 110 ohm AES/EBU input that may be routed to XLR Outputs
1 through 4, Outputs 5 through 8 or BNC Outputs 1 through 6 via the configuration DIP switches.
