Multi-Standard Analogue TV Demodulator
Showman 1000
Operation
2008 dB Broadcast Ltd

Provisional Version 0.3
There are four Audio Output connectors, grouped into two pairs – Audio 1 (Left and Right)
and Audio 2 (Left and Right). Separate menus control Audio Preference and Audio Volume
for each pair. Audio Preferences control the routing audio between the audio decoder stages
and the Audio Outputs.
For example, if Nicam stereo and FM mono are being decoded, then the Audio Preference
menus could set
Audio 1
to carry the stereo signal and
Audio 2
, the mono signal. If
Dual
Languages
are being broadcast and
Audio 2 Preference
is set to L: Stereo R: Stereo, then
Language A
will appear on Audio 2 Left output and Language B on Audio 2 Right output.
However preference could be set such that only
Dual A
or only
Dual B
appears on both left
and right Audio 2 outputs. Stereo broadcasts would be unaffected by the Dual preference
setting. Audio Preferences are only preferences - the actual outputs will depend upon what is
being broadcast.
The factory default Audio Volume setting (indicated by an * in the top right-hand corner of the
Audio Volume menu display) is set to give approximately 0dB gain between transmitter audio
input and the Showman 1000 audio output. The output level provided may not suit all
operators, in which case the Audio Volume menu may be used to set and store other levels.
