Processing Parameters

'DE-EMPHASIS' This controls the de-emphasis setting of the digital output. Options are Off, 50 μS

(Europe) and 75 μS (USA)

The 'STEREO' menu contains all the controls relevant to the DSP stereo encoder that generates the multi-

plex signal.

'OUTPUT LEVEL' Controls the output level of the composite MPX output. Range is 0dBu to +12dBu.

'PILOT LEVEL' This parameter sets the level of the composite signals 19 Khz pilot tone. The adjustable

range is 6% to 12% and an OFF setting for mono applications.

'PILOT PROTECTION' Activates a narrow notch filter that protects the pilot in the multiplex signal. If

you are using lots of composite clipping, this filter will protect the pilot region from being contaminated

with harmonic products. As a consequence, you might need to readjust the MPX output level slightly as

activating this filter may increase overshoots slightly (how much will depend on the amount of composite

clipping used).

'PILOT OUTPUT' This controls the 19kHz pilot output reference signal which is available on the

DSPX back panel. Options are enabled and disabled

'HEADPHONE LEVEL' Sets the output level of the front panel headphone port. Range is 0 to 25 with higher

numbers equating to more volume. The headphone port follows the output mode and de-emphasis settings

of the analogue outputs.

The 'SCHEDULE' menu contains all the controls for the dayparting (REAL TIME CLOCK) preset switch-

ing.

'TIME' Sets the time and day of the DSPX’s Real Time Clock.

'DAYPARTING ON/OFF: Enables or disables the scheduling.

'DP(X) ON/OFF' Enables or disables an individual daypart schedule.

'DP(X)' Sets the preset to switch to when this daypart is triggered.

'DP(X) START' Sets the start time day and time of the daypart. There is also an ‘ALL days’ option.

'DP(X) LENGTH' Sets the length in minutes that the daypart will run for.

The 'SYSTEM' menu contains all the system controls (non processing) such as remote control and secu-

rity

'LCD CONTRAST' Sets the contrast of the front panel LCD screen. The range is 0 to 25.

'LED CONTRAST: Sets the brightness of the front panel LED meters. The range is 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and full

brightness.

'TRIGGER PORT' This enables or disables the rear panel trigger (remote) port. The options are enabled and

disabled. More information is available in the trigger port section of this manual.

'CODE LOCK' This enables or disables the security code lock. The options are enabled and disabled. More

information is available in the code lock section of this manual.

'OUTPUT LOCK' This enables or disables the output code lock. The options are enabled and disabled. More

information is available in the code lock section of this manual.

'REMOTE SOURCE' This selects the serial port or the NET/LAN port as the remote control method. The

default option is Off.

The 'LAN CONFIG' menu contains the controls relevant to the LAN/NET port.

'IP' Sets the IP address of the LAN port.

'DG' Sets the default gateway of the LAN port.
