STATUS Area + Frequency Analysis
This functional area provides you with information on various operating
statuses of your FORMAT CHANGER advanced.
AUDIO IN
This LED lights up as soon as a usable digital audio signal is present at the
audio input selected.
EMPHASIS
If the audio input signal contains emphasis information, the status LED
EMPHASIS lights up. In this case, the FORMAT CHANGER advanced does not
process the data status to maintain signal transparency on the output side.
EXTERN SYNC
This LED lights up whenever a usable Word Clock, Word Clock x 256 or
digital audio signal is present at the clock input selected in the SYNC
SOURCE area.
ERROR MUTE
Whenever a signal in one of the functional areas is interrupted or the
incoming signal suffers from an increased error rate, the FORMAT
CHANGER advanced mutes all of its outputs (ERROR MUTE LED lights up),
so as to protect your monitoring speakers or headphones from damage
caused by erratic level fluctuations.
AUDIO/SYNC INPUT FREQ(UENCY)
Depending on the operating mode selected, this display shows in real time
the sampling rate of either the audio signal from the selected audio input,
or of the incoming clock signal.
When the BYPASS function in the SYNC SOURCE area is on, the display
reads the sampling rates of the incoming audio signal. In this mode, the
FORMAT CHANGER advanced does not display the rate of clock signals,
even if they are present, because it works exclusively as a format converter.
If the WC/SC input or one of the audio inputs is selected as a clock input
in this area, the applied clock signal is displayed, because in this mode the
sampling rate converter is enabled and the incoming audio signals rate is
adapted to the clock signal.
