OPERATING THE MC-1.1+
MODE + AUDIO IN + SCMS Menus
These three function menus are offering access to the whole functionality
of your MC-1.1+.
The »MODE« menu allows to select the general conversion option as uni- or
bidirectional conversion or the signal splitting mode.
Within the »AUDIO IN « menu you select for the digital audio formats
which should be converted. This menu acts in dependency of the »MODE«
menu. The system makes sure that only useful combinations of conversion
modes and proper audio formats are accessable. Therefore both menus act
together in different combinations.
The SCMS« menu (SCMS = Serial Copy Management System) let you encode
the S/P-DIF optical + coaxial output signals with three different SCMS status.
The menu »STATUS« is for control of the S/P-DIF inputs only. It is not
accessable for adjustments.
General Operation Procedure
The menu of your MC-1.1+ is strictly organized aligned to general handling
procedures when inserting the MC-1.1+ into your studio‘s data stream. Thus,
you can split up all of the necessary adjustments in three steps, which leads
to the following three questions for the basic operation of your MC-1.1+:
1) What kind of conversion should be executed → MODE?
2) Which digital audio format(s) should be involved as source(s) → AUDIO IN ?
3) Which SCMS status is required for the S/P-DIF output signals → SCMS?
After these general decisions are made, your MC-1.1+ is configured for
optimal operation in your set-up! Due to the fact that the system monitors
for useful function combinations, maloperation is not possible.
So, let‘s have a look to the individual functions on the next pages.
BI-DIR = Bidirectional conversion, between two formats only
UNI-DIR = Unidirectional conversion, from one format to all others
SPLIT = Signal splitting only
MODE
AES3 = AES3 between 25.0kHz and 200.0kHz
S/P-DIF op
1
= S/P-DIF optical between 25.0kHz and 200.0kHz
AES3id = AES3id between 25.0kHz and 200.0kHz
S/P-DIF co
2
= S/P-DIF coaxial between 25.0kHz and 200.0kHz
AUDIO IN
Shut-Down of Outputs
All digital audio outputs are shut-
down during function selection!
After a function is finally selected and the
corresponding LED lights constantly again,
the digital audio outputs are activated for
signal transfer.
!
ORIG = SCMS status as »original«
PASS = SCMS status of the S/P-DIF input signal is looped through
1st = SCMS status as »first copy«
