Audio Configuration

Top  Previous  Next

- defines the most important audio parameters for the CODEC_NAME_ARIAL12_001.

 

Audio configuration dialog:

 

audio001

 

Audio In

- sets the Audio Input source to one of the following:

Analog XLR-3F
TOSlink digital (i.e. optical digital input)
AES/EBU digital (i.e. balanced electrical input) [DB-9F]
ADAT digital (ADAT interface also uses optical port) [TOSlink]

 

With ADAT the following channel combinations are possible:

1) Standard:

2 channels:ADAT12, ADAT34; ADAT56 .. ADAT2324

2) Multi channel (see item mode in menu item Settings/Codec):

4 channels: ADAT14, ADAT58
6 channels: ADAT16
8 channels: ADAT18

 

Audio Out

- sets the audio output to use one of the following:

Analog XLR-3M
TOSlink digital (i.e. optical digital output)
AES/EBU digital (i.e. balanced electrical output) [DB-9F]
ADAT (ADAT interface also uses optical port) [TOSlink]:

 

With ADAT the following channel combinations are possible:

1) Standard:

2 channels:ADAT12, ADAT34; ADAT56 .. ADAT2324

2) Multi channel (see item mode in menu item Settings/Codec):

4 channels: ADAT14, ADAT58
6 channels: ADAT16
8 channels: ADAT18

 

Mono Channel Mix In/Mono Channel Mix out

When in Mono mode, this selects which audio channel(s) is/are used.

Left:        Only the left audio signal is used
Right:        Only the right audio signal is used
Mixed:        (L+R)-6 dB signal is used

 

Digital Out Sync Source

- defines the AES/EBU output clock source.

Note:

If any of the ‘internal’ sources is selected, the AES/EBU Sample rate is also affected.

 

Audio Level In

- sets the Input level of the A/D converter in the range of:

fsc to 0 dBu [fsc: full scale coding of A/D converter]

Usually fsc of codec_name_arial12_001 means 18 dBu but there are also codec_name_arial12_002 with a full scale of 15 dBu or 22 dBu.

Reducing the value of Audio Level in means amplifying the input audio. This reduces the scale range of the A/D converter. This can cause the A/D converter to clip sooner, and thus distortion will occur earlier, when the fsc point is reached.

 

Audio Level out

- sets the maximum possible analogue Output level in the range of:

fsc to 0 dBu [fsc: full scale coding of D/A converter]

Usually fsc of codec_name_arial12_001 means 18 dBu but there are also codec_name_arial12_002 with a full scale of 15 dBu or 22 dBu.

Reducing the value of Audio Level out means attenuating the analog output audio.
