Monitor function
In addition to individual listening, the monitor function integrated in the
SMART MERGE also enables the patching of the individual input signals on
the AES/EBU master output. Both of these functions are selected using the
SINGLE / MASTER switch.
If the SINGLE / MASTER switch is set to MASTER, as recommended under
»The first mix«, the internally generated mix signal is continually output
through the AES/EBU master output. Meanwhile, it is possible to
individually route each of the input signals (INPUT 1-4) to the monitor
or headphones output using the SELECT button. Once the MASTER OUT
position has been reached, the mix signal is also routed to the monitor
output. The volume of this output can be adjusted using the adjacent
VOLUME dial. This does not affect the level of the AES/EBU master output!
When the SINGLE / MASTER switch is set to SINGLE, the internally generated
mix signal is not output constantly through the AES/EBU master output
as is the case with the MASTER function. Just as with the monitor output,
each input signal is isolated and routed to the AES/EBU master output. This
allows the connected units to be selectively routed to the master output.
When set to the MASTER OUT position, the mix signal is available at the
master output as usual.
It is possible to change the type of function while the device is running.
Signal output
Mix signals or single input signals are reproduced via the AES/EBU master
output with a maximum level of 0.5dBFs regardless of the single or
master level of the incoming signals.
The signal output is generally aligned to the AES/EBU3-1992 (R1997)
format. This means that the S/PDIF input signals will be converted to the
AES/EBU format as a standard. SMART MERGE does not only an electrical
conversion, but also a »real« format conversion from S/PDIF to AES/EBU!
