\B E D I E N E L E M E N T E >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> INTRODUCTION Thank you very much for purchasing the MC-1.1+, Digital Audio Format Converter, from MUTEC! General Function Description The MC-1.1+ is a multifunctional, high-performance digital audio format converter for AES3, AES3id and S/P-DIF. Using latest digital audio circuitries and low-jitter PLLs, the MC-1.
INTRODUCTION \\\\\\\\\\\\ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Peripheral MUTEC Products Format and Sampling Rate Converters with internal Master Clock: MC-4 The MC-4 is a high-performance digital audio multichannel format and sampling rate converter for ADATTM, AES3 and S/P-DIF MC-6 The MC-6 is a high-performance digital audio dual channel format converter for AES3, AES3id and S/P-DIF. MC-8 + MC-8.1 The MC-8 and MC-8.

Refer to the OPERATIONS chapter for more information. 3 DATA Use this key to select a function from a specific functional menu.
CONTROL ELEMENTS \\\\\\\\\\\\\ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 3 AES/EBU IN This input receives a balanced AES3 digital audio or AES11 blank frame signal compliant with AES 3–1992 (R1997) and AES 11–1997/2003. The input impedance is 110 Ω (XLR connector, female).
\B E D I E N E L E M E N T E >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> INSTALLATION Content of the Box The unit was packed carefully. Nevertheless we recommend to check the content directly after opening the package: 1 x MC-1.1+ 1 x Power cable 4 x Rubber feet 1 x Manual The condition of the packaging material and the device should be checked carefully additionally. If there are any damages please refer to SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, Initial Operation, and WARRANTY REGULATIONS.
\B E D I E N E L E M E N T E >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> OPERATION Selecting Function Menus and setting Functions The device is fully operated using the two toggle switches at the front panel. 1 Switching the MENU key toggles between different basic function menus. 2 Switching the SELECT key activtes individual functions within one function menu.
\B E D I E N E L E M E N T E >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 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.
O P E RAT I O N \\\\\\\\\\\\ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Unidirectional Format Conversions 1 2 1 2 ORIG UNI-DIR AES3 BI-DIR AES3id 1st 1st S/P-DIF op 1 PASS NONE-PCM SPLIT ORIG S/P-DIF co 2 MODE AUDIO IN DTS-CD SCMS STATUS This setting allows for unidirectional format conversion (see »MODE«, »UNIDIR«) of an AES3 source signal (see »AUDIO IN«, »AES3«) simultaneously to all available output formats.
O P E RAT I O N \\\\\\\\\\\\ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> When activating a bidirectional conversion option which includes a S/P-DIF input, the SCMS status of the involved S/P-DIF output can be selected in the »SCMS« menu. The »STATUS« menu shows the SCMS, PCM and DTS status of the incoming S/P-DIF signal.
ANHANG \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> SCMS Functions SCMS (Serial Copy Management System) settings, also know as »copy protection bits«, affect the S/P-DIF optical and coaxial output signals only. The AES3 and AES3id output signals are not affected because the corresponding AES specifications do not define any SCMS encoding. Due to this, the AES3 and AES3id output signals are free of SCMS information.
