Overload LED's
The Overload LED's (page 6) light up 4 dB under the input's overload level. The input level is
measured at the preamp's output, after the filter.
Panpots
The Panpot's (page 6) function is to distribute the incoming signal towards the tracks. Their
working depend on the selected audio routing configuration (Configuration Menu > Audio
routing). In some configurations, they're ineffective.
Connecting A Digital Source
The digital AES/EBU format is supported at the inputs and outputs of Stelladat II.
The digital inputs are located on the right side of the recorder.
The digital input sockets (page 12) for tracks 1 and 2 and for tracks 3 and 4 are XLR-3, as
are the digital output sockets (tracks 1 and 2) and (tracks 3 and 4).
The optical digital in- and outputs are usually covered by a protective plate main-tained in place
by a knurled-head screw. The sockets are the optical inputs for tracks 1 - 2 and 3 - 4 and the
sockets are the outputs.
In order to save energy the optical digital in- and output's default configuration is OFF. They can
be turned ON by software (Power Menu > Optical).
By simultaneous connecting of signals on both types of digital inputs, optical and
XLR, the signal connected to the optical sockets has priority.
No level setting is necessary on both types of digital inputs, thus the signal is recorded at its
nominal level.
Connecting Time Code
Stelladat II has on option an internal Time Code generator accepting all usual formats at in- or
output:
• 30 non-drop
• 30 drop
• 29.97 non-drop
• 29.97 drop
• 24
• 25
The generator is also designed to regenerate incoming Time Code (JAM SYNC function). So the
user, configuring the recorder in the Time Code Menu, can select a setting perfectly adapted for
his application.
The Time Code can be connected to two types of sockets, at user's choice. In the case of two
Time Code signals connected simultaneously to both types of input sockets, the Lemo socket
