Menu items in the range 800 to 899, relating to audio control (Continued)
Item number Item name Settings
809 AUDIO LEVEL METER
DIMMER CONTROL Set the brightness of the audio level meters.
0 to 7: Set in this range. 0 is the brightest, and 7 the dimmest.
810 AUDIO EDIT PREVIEW
SWITCHER Set the output phase for the audio playback signal when any of the ASSEMBLE,
VIDEO, CH1 to CH4, CUE and TC buttons is lit.
INT : The audio playback signal output phase is the same as the output phase in
the EE mode. Use this setting when editing with a single VTR, or when
previewing while watching the VTR output signal.
EXT: The audio playback signal output phase is the same as the phase of an
input video signal or external reference video signal.
Note
Whichever setting is used, the correct editing results will be obtained. When,
however, you are using an external switcher to switch the audio output signal
from this unit for the purposes of preview, selecting EXT will prevent any muting
or discontinuities in the audio at editing IN and OUT points.
807 AUDIO OUTPUT PHASE Select the output timing of digital audio playback signals (HDSDI, SDI, and AES/
EBU only). The reference position corresponds to a setting of 80H; when the
setting is less than 80H, the output timing is advanced, and when it is higher than
80H, the output timing is delayed. (at 80H, 128 samples = approx. 2.7 ms, and 1
sample=approx. 20 µs)
0 to 80 to FF : Setting in this range
808 INTERNAL AUDIO
SIGNAL GENERATOR Select the operation of the internal audio test signal generator.
OFF : No operation
SILNC: Silent signal
1KHZ: At 1 kHz, –20 dB FS sine wave is supplied to all audio input channels.
To turn on the internal audio test signal generator, set this menu item to other
than OFF, then hold the audio signal selection button for CH1 (channel 1) for
three seconds or more. When the test signal generator is turned on, the input
signal indicator in the audio setting display section turns off. To turn off the test
signal generator, press the audio signal selection button for any of CH1 to CH4
(channels 1 to 4).
823 NAU FLG PB Controls the non-audio flag when the playback format is Digital Betacam or
Betacam SX.
Sub-item
1 CH1/CH2 During playback (except E-E mode), sets the digital audio non-audio flag as
follows.
OFF : OFF (the data is audio)
ON: ON (the data is non-audio)
AUTO: As follows, depending on whether tape data has been confirmed.
• Tape data has been read and confirmed: ON or OFF, according to the data.
• Tape data has not been confirmed: Current state is maintained.
Notes
• In the Betacam SX format, audio signals only are recorded. Therefore, the non-
audio flag is OFF.
• During playback of analog tapes, the non-audio flag is OFF regardless of the
setting of this item.
• In the MPEG IMX format, the non-audio flag follows the setting of maintenance
menu item M372 during recording, playback, and E-E mode.
For more information about the maintenance menu item M372, refer to the
Maintenance Manual.
