<CONSUMER FORMAT ADVANCED SETTINGS: The following settings appear when “Consumer” has been selected in the Digital Output Format section and the Advanced Settings box has been checked:

Copy Mode: These radio buttons control the Serial Copy Management System (SCMS) part of the S/PDIF subcode—a reserved part of the S/PDIF digital stream that is independent of the actual audio data being transmitted. SCMS is used to inhibit the amount of copies that can be made of a source material. Three SCMS modes are available:

Original (Copy Permitted) – This setting indicates that the audio stream currently playing is a “master” recording and that the source material may be copied by a recording device.

1st Generation – This setting indicates that the source material is a first generation copy of the master recording. Most recording devices will reject material with this SCMS setting.

No SCMS – This setting does not apply any SCMS restrictions to the outgoing audio stream. This allows an external recording device to make a copy of the outgoing audio data.

NOTE: Some manufacturers’ products may interpret these codes differently and may require you to experiment with the settings until proper operation is achieved.

Emphasis: This parameter lets you indicate if pre-emphasis has been applied to the outgoing digital audio signal. In most cases, the default “Not Indicated” setting will apply unless the outgoing audio has been encoded with “50/15 µsec” pre-emphasis.
