Set up Menus
Depressing the SET key enters the set up menus. From each menu item the next can
be accessed by again pressing the SET key. The values shown in each menu item can be
changed using the nudge
∧∨
keys. Depressing any key other than these will exit the set up
menus. If the menu item is entered and remains inactive for more than 30 seconds the set up
menu will terminate. Three operational parameters can be adjusted as separate menu items
these are: -
Synth delay
This menu item will allow the audio delay used in the synthesis algorithm can be
adjusted from zero to 20 milliseconds.
Synth gain
This menu item will allow the gain of the synthesizer to be adjusted from zero to 2.0.
AES reference source
This menu item will allow the AES reference source to be selected. The AES output
from the unit will always be at the reference sample rate regardless of the AES input rate.
The reference sources available are: -
1.
Internal.
This will select the internal 48kHz clock as a reference.
2.
AES.
This will select the external AES signal supplied to the rear panel as
the reference. When a valid AES signal is connected ‘aesref – locked’ appears on
the LCD display. If a valid AES signal is not present the output of the unit is muted.
An AES signal between 32kHz and 50kHz can be applied to the reference input but
the delays values used in the synthesis algorithm are calculated on 48kHz sample
rate.
3.
Word clock
. This will employ the 48kHz word clock applied to the rear
panel connector as the reference. If the incoming word clock is not valid the unit will
automatically select the internal reference source.
4.
Video.
This will use the video signal applied to the rear panel
connector as a reference source. The unit will automatically detect PAL/NTSC video
signals. If the incoming video signal is not recognised the unit will automatically select
the internal reference.
