2-2 Rear Panel
1 Analog audio signal inputs/outputs
a AUDIO IN (analog audio signal input) 1/3, 2/4
connectors (XLR 3-pin, female)
These input analog audio signals.
With the AUDIO INPUT SEL button (see page 15), you
can select whether the signal input to connector 1/3 is
assigned to audio channel 1or 3, and whether the signal
input to connector 2/4 is assigned to audio channel 2 or 4.
You can set the reference input level with the maintenance
menu item “AUDIO CONFIG.” (Factory default setting:
+4 dB)
For details of the maintenace menu, see 8-4 “Maintenance
Menu” on page 114.
b AUDIO OUT (analog audio signal output) 1/3, 2/4
connectors (XLR 3-pin, male)
These output analog audio signals.
When the unit is shipped from the factory, the 1/3
connector is set to audio channel 1, and the 2/4 connector
is set to audio channel 2. You can change these settings
with extended menu item 824 “ANALOG LINE OUTPUT
SELECT.”
You can set the output level with the maintenance menu
item “AUDIO CONFIG.” (Factory default setting: +4 dB)
Non-audio signals are muted.
See 8-3-2 “Extended Menu Operations” (page 110) for
more information about how to make these settings.
For details of the maintenace menu, see 8-4 “Maintenance
Menu” on page 114.
2 Digital audio signal inputs/outputs
a DIGITAL AUDIO (AES/EBU) IN (digital audio
input) 1/2, 3/4 connectors (BNC type)
These input AES/EBU format digital audio signals. The
left connector (1/2) corresponds to audio channels 1 and 2,
and the right connector (3/4) corresponds to audio
channels 3 and 4.
b DIGITAL AUDIO (AES/EBU) OUT (digital audio
output) 1/2, 3/4 connectors (BNC type)
These output AES/EBU format digital audio signals.
When the unit is shipped from the factory, the 1/2
connector is set to audio channel 1/2, and the 3/4 connector
is set to audio channel 3/4. You can change these settings
with extended menu item 827 “AES/EBU AUDIO
OUTPUT SELECT.”
To treat the input and output signals of these connectors as
non-audio signals, set the maintenance menu item
“AUDIO CONFIG”-“NON-AUDIO INPUT” (recording)
and extended menu item 823 “NON-AUDIO FLAG PB”
(playback).
See 8-3-2 “Extended Menu Operations” (page 110) for
more information about how to make extended menu
settings.
See 8-4-2 “Maintenance Menu Operations” (page 116)
for more information about how to make maintenance
menu settings.
3 Analog video signal inputs/outputs
a VIDEO IN (analog video input) connectors (BNC
type)
These input composite video signals.
The two connectors form a loop-through connection; when
a signal is input to the left connector, the same signal is
output from the right connector (
) forming a bridge
connection to the connected device.
When no connection is made to the right connector, the left
connector is automatically terminated with an impedance
of 75 ohms.
b VIDEO OUT 1, 2 (SUPER) (analog video output 1,
2 (superimpose)) connectors (BNC type)
These output composite video signals.
