1. From the Setup menu, select Output Configuration.
2. In the Output Configuration panel, set the appropriate options, as follows:
Option Description
Output
Interface (for
HDMI input)
If the selected input is HDMI, you can output to either HDMI or SDI (exclusively,
not concurrently). The HDMI output is enabled by default.
For HDMI output, you can select either PCM or a pass-through of Dolby
Digital Plus.
For SDI output, you can select either PCM or a pass-through of Dolby
Digital or Dolby Digital Plus.
SDI
When the input is HDMI, you can set the SDI output to be either PCM or a pass-
through of Dolby Digital or Dolby Digital Plus.
For all other input types, this output selection is nonfunctional.
HDMI
For the HDMI connection, the output can be either PCM or a pass-through of a
Dolby Digital Plus HDMI signal.
Headphone
The output headphone signal can be either stereo channels or any individual
channel available from the decoded stream.
AES Output
Channels
The number of output channels matches the number of channels from the
input settings. For this setting, select either channels 1 through 8, or channels
9 through 16.
Note: Independent of these and the Analog Output Channel settings,
all output content is transmitted through SDI.
Analog Output
Channels
For this setting, select the channel group that is not used for the AES output
channels, that is, either channels 1 through 8, or channels 9 through 16.
3. In the Volume Configuration panel, use the up or down arrows to set the Master Volume
level at any point from 0 to -90 dB.
The Master Volume setting applies to headphone and analog outputs for all available
codecs.
4.5 HDMI tab
The HDMI tab on the DP580 is a tool for content creators to monitor the behavior of their
upstream devices and for all users to monitor the audio capabilities of HDMI-enabled
downstream receivers.
4.5.1 HDMI sink device panel
Use this panel to confirm the status of an HDMI-enabled sink device, such as an audio/video
receiver (AVR), in your broadcast stream.
If you want to monitor a destination device, you can use this option to determine:
•
Whether the device is connected and can be detected by other devices in the stream
•
The number of PCM channels supported
•
The number and types of codecs supported by the device
•
The number of speakers supported by the device
