Chapter 6 - Audio setup

Digital audio outputs

The Analog Out BNC connector can be programmed to provide two channels of AES audio. To
select the signals for digital audio:
1. Go to the SYSTEM/HARDWARE/PORTS menu.
2. Tap the ANALOG OUT button and use the arrows in the pop-up box to select DIGITAL
AUDIO.
3. Go to the AUDIO/OUTPUTS/AES AUDIO menu.
4. Tap the AES MODE button and use the arrows in the pop-up box to select SOURCE or
CHANNEL mode.
If you select the source mode, the channel selection button is disabled; if you select the
channel mode, the source selection button is disabled.
5. Tap either the SOURCE or CHANNEL selection button to select the recording channel or
source to be routed to the AES audio output.
Note
If you initially set up the output signal for both modes, you only need to use the AES mode
button to switch between the selected signals.

Eight embedded SDI audio channels are available at the Digital Out BNC connector. To select
the signals for the SDI audio channels:
