Changing Control Mode
To switch between Bank and Channel control modes, simultaneously press and hold
the GROUP CHANNEL and BANK CHANNEL buttons for 5 seconds. The mode will switch
after this time and the button can be released. Bank mode is in use when both the BANK
CHANNEL and GROUP CHANNEL button LEDs are not lit. Conversely, when Channel mode
is in use these two LEDs are lit.
When switching from Channel to Bank mode, all channel mappings are reset and no
groups are selected for embedding. When switching from Bank to Channel mode, the
channel mappings are retained to allow for further modification.
Embedding
The analogue audio inputs can be embedded into any of the four available groups in the
two SDI outputs. They can be embedded on a per bank basis in the Bank control mode, or
a per channel basis in the Channel control mode. If you embed to a group which is already
present in the SDI video input, then this group is automatically deleted from the video
input prior to the embedding block.
Bank Mode
To embed a bank of audio to a specific group.
Select the Embed bank, using the BANK button.
Select the SDI Output, using the STATUS button.
Select the group to embed to, using the GROUP button.
The GROUP button LED will indicate whether embedding is enabled to this group. To
enable embedding to this group, press and hold the GROUP button for two seconds, until
the button turns green. The group number LED will blink to indicate that the change
has been applied. This indicates that embedding is enabled to this group. To disable
embedding to this group, then hold the GROUP button down until the button turns red.
In this mode, the channels of the bank are mapped directly to the group channels. For
example channel 1 in the selected bank is embedded to channel 1 of the selected group.
Channel 2 in the selected bank is embedded to channel 2 of the selected group etc.
Cycling through the groups using the GROUP button, allows the user to determine which
groups are currently enabled for embedding and will also show the source for that group.
