EAGLE

Multi-Standard Dual-Channel Digital Audio Codec

4.16. Firmware version.

When the equipment is started up, the SETUP LCD (1) shows the software versions the

equipment has been upgraded to. There are three modules that have a version: the

microprocessor, the digital audio processor, and the terminal adapter.

To display these software versions once the equipment is running, do the following:

This FIRMWARE information is found in the SETUP section (1) (9).

- On the main screen, press NO (red) to access the SETUP menu.

- With the cursor arrows, go to the FIRMWARE option and press OK.

- With the cursor arrows, go to the module whose version you want to find out, and press OK..

 See chapter 6 for upgrade information.

4.17. VU-meters.

Input and output levels for both channels can be displayed through four meters (4) located on

the front panel.

It is advisable not to exceed the recommended input levels to avoid saturating the equipment.

The top line of the meter displays the input level to channel 1.

The next line shows the return level for channel 1.

The third line shows the input signal to channel 2.

The last line shows the return signal for channel 2.

4.18. Autosync and slave mode.

Autosync: This option in the SETUP menu lets the equipment automatically look for the

encoding algorithm of the remote equipment (Master mode). Thus, it can be classified as an

automatic encoding mode (slave mode).

This function is very practical when the encoding mode the remote equipment is working with is

unknown, as it allows automatic synchronization between the two units.

When this operating mode is used, the units’ sync times will be increased, due to the obvious

fact that the unit that has this option selected must scan all available encoding algorithms until it

achieves the right synchronization.

For this reason, it is not recommended that both of the units that you wish to interconnect be

placed in Autosync mode, as this may result in a longer sync time, so its use is not practical.

One should act as a Master and the other as a slave.

The AUTOSYNC feature does not support MPEG Layer III encoding algorithms, so in this

case it will be set manually.
