card. If two talkers are connected, they must share a common

sample clock.

• Analog I/O and SPDIF (TOSLINK) Card: This card provides four

channel pairs of balanced analog inputs and four channel pairs of

balanced analog outputs on two DB-25 connectors. It also provides

an optical input for another channel pair. The outputs can be

derived from other inputs, decoded Dolby channels, or the flexible

internal audio mixer, according to preset and menu settings.

Refer to Chapter 6: Input/Output Modules and Options on page 137

for a complete description and pin-out of each of the preceding cards.

Genlock Input

To ensure the best performance, the AMP2-16V includes a Genlock

input to keep all of the inputs synchronized. Note that if the Genlock

input is not used, by default the AMP2-16V will automatically locate a

clock source from the input cards starting with the lowest-numbered

card slot.

This unit requires all inputs that are being mixed or monitored to be

synchronous (i.e., have the same sample rate based on a common

clock). Inputs that are not synchronous with the selected clock source

will be automatically muted. Refer to the How Do I Set the Clock

Source? on page 54 for details.

Audio Monitoring Delay

Add monitored audio delay to the internal speakers in 1 ms increments

up to 170 ms to provide lip sync. The effect of the delay can be audibly

monitored continuously as it is changed. Refer to How Do I

Synchronize Internal Speaker Audio with an External Video Source? on

page 35 for details.
