Sound Devices 788T - Manual (Page 41)

Outputs can be set to receive Slate Mic (CL-8 or CL-9) or COM1 or COM2 (CL-9 only) announce-
ments.
See the CL-8 Slate Mic or CL-9 Communications sections for details.
Output Types
Audio signals routed to an output are sent to both the analog and digital outputs simultaneously.
For example, the audio source signal selected for Output 1 is sent to both analog output 1 and digital
output (AES) 1.
The CL-9 has an Output Mode that allows the user to solo the output in the headphone monitor and
make quick adjustments to the Output level, including Mute.
See CL-9 Modes for details.
Analog Balanced Line Outputs 1-4
The analog line outputs are active-balanced line-level signals on Switchcraft-type TA3M locking con-
nectors. The output level is a nominally 0 dBu at
 20 dBFS. The line-level output can be adjusted in
the Setup Menu from -40 to 0 dB in 1 dB increments.
Analog Unbalanced Output 5-6
This is a two-channel output on a TRS 3.5 mm connector with nominal level of -10 dBV. This level
can be adjusted in the Setup Menu from -40 to 0 dB in 1 dB increments.
Balanced Digital AES Outputs 1-6
Balanced AES outputs 1-4 are on TA3 connectors on the right side panel. Balanced AES outputs 5-6
are on the DE-15 connector on the rear panel.
See Connector Pin Assignments. These outputs are com-
patible with most AES3 and S/PDIF inputs.
The format for the AES3 output is selectable between professional AES and consumer SPDIF. In
either case the SCMS bit is not set. The output level of the digital outputs is not adjustable.
Output Delay
Output audio signal can be delayed on Outputs 1 and 2 from the Setup Menu options OUTPUT 1/2: DELAY.
Delay is adjusted from 0 to 10 frames in increments of 0.1 frames. The amount of delay in mS is depen-
dent on the selected frame rate in Setup Menu Option TIMECODE: FRAME RATE.
Output Delay is a processor-intensive feature. Sound Devices recommends using fast media, avoiding re-
cording to more than two media, and to refrain from using MixAssist when any amount of Output Delay
is applied.
