Shown below is the third UTILITY display function – the Channel Status
Monitor screen:
This screen allows you to monitor the channel status information from a
digital audio signal using the IEC958 Part3 (AES/EBU – Professional)
format or IEC958 Part2 (Consumer) format.
Check one of the [SLOT1], [SLOT2], [SLOT3], [SLOT4], and [2TR] check
boxes shown in the upper part of the screen to select the information you
wish to monitor. If you select one of SLOTs 1-4 and any card other than the
CD8-AE (AES/EBU card) has been installed in the corresponding slot (or
no card is installed), the screen becomes grey and you cannot monitor the
information.
The table in the center of the screen shows the contents of the channel
status of the selected signal.
Each indication has the following meaning:
Fs – This is the sampling frequency information. One of “32k”, “44.1k”,
“48k”, “None” (unknown), and “(UNLOCK)” will appear.
“(UNLOCK)” means that no signal is being input or the input signal is
invalid. In this case, the Emphasis, Category, and Copy columns will
show “---”.
Emphasis – This shows the status of emphasis of the control bit. “ON”,
“OFF” or “???” (unknown) will be shown.
