• Analog/Digital Select (Toggle Switch): This two position switch

selects between two primary input sources, analog or digital. When

this toggle switch is set to analog, the unit will monitor the signals

as input on the rear panel Analog In phoenix connectors. When

this toggle switch is set to digital, the unit will monitor whichever

source is selected by the AES/SDI switch.

• AES/SDI (Toggle Switch): This two position toggle switch allows

the operator to choose between the two digital input sources; SDI or

AES. When this toggle switch is set to AES, the unit will monitor the

AES signals as input on the AES In BNC or XLR connectors (In 1

and

In 2) on the rear panel. When this toggle switch is set to SDI,

the unit will de-embed and monitor the SDI signals as input on the

SDI In BNC connector on the rear panel.

• AES (1 & 2, LEDs): These two bi-color green/red LEDs (AES1 and

AES2) indicate the input presence and status of the two AES input

signals. Each LED glows green as long as a valid AES/EBU digital

datastream for the associated input channel is being received. Each

LED glows red to indicate errors in signal reception or data errors (if

the data has been tagged as inappropriate for conversion to analog

by having the validity bit set). These LEDs function whether or not

the AES digital signals are selected for monitoring through the unit.

• SDI (LED): This bi-color (green/red) LED, labeled SDI, glows

green as long as a valid SDI digital datastream is being received. It

glows red if TSR errors are present in the signal. If there is no SDI
