OPTIMOD-PC INTRODUCTION

1-13

When you modify an existing preset, whether Factory or User, the
OPTIMOD-PC server software will automatically generate a temporary
User Preset whose name consists of “Modified” appended to the front of
the existing preset name. If you do not save your modifications, this tem-
porary preset will remain on the server’s hard drive until you further
modify any preset. Then the temporary preset will be overwritten.

Input/Output Configuration

OPTIMOD-PC simultaneously accommodates:

•

One digital AES3 left/right output.

•

Two digital AES3 left/right inputs, either of which can be used as a sync input to
synchronize the output sample rate emitted from the AES3 output to the sample
rate present at the sync input.
