edit controller and BVE02 are configured correctly to provide the required Preview and Edit
monitoring.
The last 2, 4 or 8 channels of the mixer and the output routing are employed as a monitor
matrix to generate the corresponding number of monitor channels. For greatest flexibility in
how the monitoring may be configured, these are kept discrete and delivered to the Omni
outputs of the mixer. These may be fed to individual speakers and meters or mixed externally
into a stereo or four-channel monitoring/metering system.
Channel Fader Level Adjustments
The nominal level of each input channel of the mixer may be adjusted either remotely from
the Edit Controller, or locally using the faders on the mixer itself. By default the faders for a
selected Machine will move to the unity gain (0 dB) position. These fader levels may be
altered to suit the programme material and any changes will be stored automatically. Any
subsequent command from the Editor to open or fade up these faders will cause them to rise
to the most recently stored levels.
These changes may be captured and stored as E-MEM data by the Edit Controller. This feature
allows the nominal fader levels of a Machine to be stored and recalled by the Edit Controller
on an edit-by-edit basis.
E-MEM stores and recalls are normally initiated by the operation of the Edit Controller. This is
sometimes referred to as MXMEM Learn. Some Edit Controllers will store E-MEM data if the
ESAM mixer initiates the data transfer.
The BVE02 interface monitors which Source VTRs are included in an edit and the tracks which
are being edited on the Recorder. BVE02 will only control input channels of the Source VTRs
which are being routed, by the mixer’s channel-to-bus routing section, to the tracks being
edited on the Recorder.
Hence any channels which are not routed at all or are routed to tracks which are not being
edited will not be opened during Monitoring, Preview or Edit operations.
Mixer ESAM Control Enable
The control of the mixer by the BVE02 is enabled according to the state of the Automix
ENABLE/DISABLE button on the AUTOMIX Main page, reached by pressing the AUTOMIX
button of the mixer control surface.
ESAM control is ENABLED when ENABLED is displayed.
Master Fader Control
The BVE02 links the Master fader on control surface to the bus faders, so operating the
Master fader will also operate the bus output faders.
This provides a simple way of adjusting the overall audio level fed to the recorder in an edit
suite or the transmission path or fade out the audio at the end of the programme or news
bulletin.
