MIXTRIM and MIXMODE
Since this is a dual receiver that can be used with cam-
erasthatofferonlyasingleinputintheslot,specialop-
tions are available to allow the audio from the receivers
tobemixedtoeitheroneorbothaudiooutputchannels.
The MIXMODE setting determines which audio signal
appearsatwhichoutputchannel:
• MIXBOTH mixes the audio and delivers the mix to
bothoutputchannels.
• MIXTO 1 mixes the audio and delivers the mix to
outputchannel1.
• MIXTO 2 mixes the audio and delivers the mix to
outputchannel2.
• DIRECTkeepstheaudioseparatedanddelivers
receiver1audiotooutputchannel1,andreceiver2
audiotooutputchannel2.
The MIXTRIMsettingappliesattenuationupto20dBin
1dBstepstoadjusttheratioofthetwoaudiosignalsin
themix.Thisadjustmenttakeseffectonlywhenamix
mode is Selected (it is ignored when the mix mode is
settoDIRECT).
IMPORTANT:TheLEVELsettingintheother
setupscreen(seepreviouspage)ishardware-
basedandaffectstheoutputlevelregardless
ofwhichmixmodeisselected.MIXTRIMthen
appliesattenuationtothatlevelsettingresultingin
thenalleveldeliveredtotheoutputchannel.Itis
goodpracticetosettheLEVELofbothreceivers
to the same value when using a mix mode.
WhenaMIXMODEisSelected,eachaudiosignalisau-
tomaticallyattenuatedby6dBpriortothemixing.This
isdonetoavoidoverloadandpotentialdistortionsince
mixingincreasesthelevelby6dB.Thesameinputgain
on the camera or mixer can generally be used regard-
less of whether or not a mix mode is being used in the
receiver.
