Correcting delay between channels (Input Delay)
This section explains how to correct delay between input channels by using the Input Delay
function.
This function is useful when you want to correct the phase variance caused by microphone
locations on the stage, to add depth to the sound by using phase variance, or to correct a
delay (a time gap) that may exist between video and audio that are sent from a site for
broadcast on TV.
NOTE
If you are viewing the 8 ch INPUT DELAY screen, you can use the Bank Select keys in the
Centralogic section to switch the channels being controlled in groups of eight.
INPUT DELAY screen (8ch)
You can set the on/off status and the value of the input channel delay.
1 DELAY SCALE button
Press the button to display the DELAY SCALE window, in which you can select the unit
for the delay time.
There are five delay scales: meter (meter/sec), feet (feet/sec), sample (number of
samples), ms (milliseconds), and frame (frames). If you select frame as the units, you can
choose from six frame rates: 30, 30D, 29.97, 29.97D, 25, and 24. In this case, fr will
appear as the units in the channel name display.
2 Channel select button
The currently-selected input channel is indicated in blue. Press the button to select the
channel.
3 Delay setting knob (input channels only)
You can use the multifunction knob to adjust the delay. You can view the current value
immediately above the knob (always shown in unit of ms) and below the knob (shown
using the currently-selected scale). If ms (millisecond) has been selected for the DELAY
SCALE, nothing will appear above the knob.
