Controls the sample rate of digital and analog input signals sent to the Record Zone digital audio output connectors. When INPUT is selected, the sample rate of input signals is not converted. Therefore, the original sample rate is maintained from the input connectors through to the Record Zone digital audio output connectors.

When a value is selected, input signals pass through the selected value of sample rate conversion, then pass to the Record Zone digital audio output connectors. Set the DIG OUT RATE parameter to the appropriate value when using a recording format that operates on a single sample rate, such as CD-R format (44.1kHz).

Prevents recording device feedback loops. When BLOCKED is selected, the MC-12 blocks the Record Zone audio output connectors to prevent feedback loops. However, video input signals are still passed to the Record Zone video output connectors. When ENABLED is selected, audio and video input signals are passed to the Record Zone audio and video output connectors.
