Location and Function of Parts3INPUT MODE displayIndicates the format of the currently selected video and audio input signals.
VIDEO indicators: The corresponding indicator lights when the selected video input signal is in the composite analog, S-video, component analog, or SDI (serial digital interface) format.
AUDIO CH-1, 1/2 indicators: The ANALOG, AES/ EBU or SDI indicator lights for the corresponding format of the selected audio signal being input to channel 1 (when in 2-channel mode) or to channels 1 and 2 (when in 4-channel mode).
AUDIO CH-2, 3/4 indicators: The ANALOG, AES/EBU, or SDI indicator lights for the corresponding format of the selected audio signal being input to channel 2 (when in 2-channel mode) or to channels 3 and 4 (when in 4-channel mode).
QSDI: Lights when QSDI-format video and audio input signals have been selected. When QSDI is selected, all of the indicators in the VIDEO and AUDIO groups go off.
4INPUT SELECT buttonsSelect video input signals and audio input signals. VIDEO button: Each press of this button cycles
through four video signal selection options: composite analog, S-video, component analog, and SDI. When you select one of these options, the corresponding VIDEO indicator in the INPUT MODE display lights up.
AUDIO CH-1, CH-1/2 button: Each press of this button cycles through three audio signal selection options for audio channel 1 (when in 2-channel mode) or channels 1 and 2 (when in 4-channel mode): analog, AES/EBU, and SDI. When you select one of these options, the corresponding AUDIO indicator in the INPUT MODE display lights up.
AUDIO CH-2, CH-3/4 button: Each press of this button cycles through three audio signal selection options for audio channel 2 (when in 2-channel mode) or channels 3 and 4 (when in 4-channel mode): analog, AES/EBU, and SDI. When you select one of these options, the corresponding AUDIO indicator in the INPUT MODE display lights up.
QSDI: Press this button to select QSDI signals.
If the selected signal (except for analog audio) is not supplied to the appropriate connector, the corresponding indicator flashes in the INPUT MODE display.
If the unit is not equipped with an optional DSBK-120/ 120P SDI Input/Output Board, no SDI indicators light in the INPUT MODE display no matter how many times you press the INPUT SELECT buttons.
5AUDIO REC (recording mode) SELECT button Selects the audio mode for recording. Each press toggles between 2-channel mode and 4-channel mode, and the indicator corresponding to the selected option lights in the AUDIO MODE display.
Note
This button works only when the unit is in EE mode.
6AUDIO INPUT LEVEL control knobsWhen recording, you can use these knobs to set audio input levels for CH-1 (channel 1), CH-2, CH-3 and CH-4, respectively.
You can make these knobs inoperative for an AES/ EBU, SDI or QSDI format digital audio input by setting “DIGITAL INPUT” under the AUDIO CONTROL menu item to “BYPASS”.
On how to use the menu, see Chapter 4 “Menu Settings”.
