Audio Mode
For instruments with only video modules installed, Audio mode provides a
protocol-level check for the AES stream. The Embedded Audio Status screen
reports the following information:
H Which video input is the source of the embedded audio
H The standard used by the audio signal
H Whether the header indicates that audio is present on each pair of channels
(Status = Present or Not Present)
Audio Mode (Option DG Only)
NOTE. The information below describes the Audio mode display for instruments
with the Option DG audio module installed.
Use the following submenus of the Configure menu to set the various instrument
parameters for audio measurements: Audio Inputs/Outputs, Audio Displays, and
Audio Thresholds. Use the Configure Alarms submenu to configure the audio
alarms.
Use the Input menu to select which audio input the instrument will monitor.
Select Embedded to monitor the audio signal embedded in the selected video
signal input, or select Ext AES to monitor the audio signal(s) connected to the
Option DG audio module.
NOTE. When you set the function of the AES connectors to output, embedded
audio is automatically selected as the audio input source. You cannot monitor
audio signals on the AES connectors until their function is set to input (use the
Audio Inputs/Outputs submenu of the Configure menu).
When you select Embedded or Ext AES as the audio input source, the instrument
maps the audio signal to the level-meter bars as configured by the Embedded
Input Map or the AES Input Map in the Audio Inputs/Outputs submenu of the
Configure menu.
