Edit Suite Monitoring Operation

Monitor

Edit Source monitor

In this mode, the audio from source Machines is monitored after it has passed through the

mixer’s input channels and faders which have been opened so that the signal is fed to the

Program buses, the mixer outputs and hence to the recorder inputs. When a source is being

monitored, the fader levels of the corresponding mixer channels are opened by the BVE02 and

may be adjusted to give the correct level at the mixer output. The adjusted level of these faders

is stored by the BVE02 and reapplied to these faders whenever the corresponding Machine is

monitored or included in an edit.

Recorder monitor

Audio from the Recorder is monitored via the last 4 or 8 channels of the mixer. The channel

faders which are kept open at Unity (0dB) allowing the signals from the Recorder to pass

through the channel’s delay processing and so to the Insert Send which is connected to the

Omni output when the Recorder is selected for monitoring.

Edit Preview

During Edit Preview up to the Edit-In point, the system monitors the output of the

recorder (as described above). At the Edit-In point, the system switches to monitor the

output of the mixer and hence the audio from the Source VTRs and the crossfade

between them. At the Edit-Out point, the system returns to monitoring the Recorder

output.

You can observe this switching in the Output Matrix by opening the Omni Out page of

the Output Matrix display.

Edit

In Edit mode, the system monitors the output of the Recorder (again as described above)

throughout the duration of the pre-roll, edit and post-roll.

In order to provide an appropriate monitor mix when previewing or executing record channel

selective edits, the BVE02 needs to ‘know’ which input channel of a source Machine is fed to

which output bus of the console. If setup switch 8 is ON, the BVE02 will monitor the bus

routing selection of each mixer input channel and use this information to determine signal

routing. This defines which channel faders are to be opened and controlled during an edit

transition. If setup switch 8 is OFF, the interface will assume straight-forward first channel to

bus1, second channel to bus2, etc. routing. These channel assumptions are detailed in the

Machine Assignments table on page 16.
