Simultaneous Multi-Format Monitoring
The AMP2-16V can monitor 16 channels of 3G/HD/SD-SDI, AES, analog, or optical
inputs in any combination on the same level meter screen. It does not need to
switch between different input port types to display them simultaneously on the
meters, or to monitor them audibly. Using the 32 presets, you can monitor many
different arrangements of channels at the press of a button.
Monitoring Cluster Selection
Generally speaking, you probably won’t want to listen to more than one audio
program cluster at a time. So the Cluster Select hot keys allow quick selection of
the audio program you want to hear. The system will automatically set up the
Cluster Select hot keys when you arrange the level meters into clusters. Refer to
How Do I Cluster Meters Pairs Together for Easy Readability?
for
details.
Simply press the Cluster Select hot key corresponding to the meter cluster you
want to monitor. The selected cluster is indicated on the meter screen by means of
a highlighted cluster label and highlighted channel indicators. The loudness for the
selected cluster is also calculated and displayed both numerically and graphically
depending on the settings in the Loudness Clusters Menu.
When the chosen Select Cluster hot key is rotated right or left, individual channels
or channel pairs within the cluster are then soloed or muted. This can be very
useful for troubleshooting audio problems on channels.
Note that Cluster Select hot keys will automatically change to Dolby Zoom hot keys
when a Dolby bitstream is detected in the cluster. This allows you to easily analyze
the Dolby bitstream if needed.
When an optional AES or analog output card is used to connect the AMP2-16V audio
to an external surround sound system, selecting a cluster automatically routes the
appropriate channels to the correct speakers according to their function as set in
the Monitor Mixer Configuration Menu.
Main Screen Arrangements
To accommodate your specific needs, you can select from six Main Screen
arrangements, including ones that allow you to quickly toggle between video and
metering or video and data screens. The screen arrangement is chosen in the Main
Screen Configuration Menu.
Refer to the 3. Arrange the Main Screens section in Chapter 1 for more details. The
six Main Screen arrangements are:
