AES Port Setup
The AES connections of the C MX 5710 can individually be configured either as
inputs or outputs. By default, i.e. when delivered from the factory, both AES ports
are set to be inputs.
This default port configuration can be modified at any time. To do this change to
the “General Settings” tab of the module. Check the check box “Unlock AES Port
Settings” and press “ok” on the pop-up window. This explicit un-locking of these
configuration switches is required to prevent accidental changes to these
fundamental configuration settings.
A modified AES port configuration will NOT be reset by a “Reset to Factory
Default” operation (see page 33).
NOTE:
Please make sure NOT to configure an AES port as an output, while an
external signal source might send a signal into that port. This
misconfiguration might potentially result in permanent damage of
hardware components.
Analog Audio Inputs
Four analog audio inputs are available on the C MX 5710. Internally the signals
are converter to AES signals. In the
converting stage the full scale level can
be determined.
Available full scale levels are:
12dB
15dB
18dB
22dB
24dB
Audio Processing
The AES Processing block provides access to the detailed audio processing
functionality. The following functions are available per mono-channel.
Gain Adjustment
[-
66.3dB … +18dB]
Phase Inversion
[on / off]
Mute
[on / off]
Mono Downmix
Per output mono-channel: enable the addition of the
other (sibling) mono-channel as a simple (a+b)/2
downmix.
Overlevel Detection A yellow warning indication will be displayed if the signal
content reaches the potential digital clipping (code
values reach 0xFFF).
