Audio storage
Up to 200 minutes of digital audio voice-overs can be stored and played out
with the Easyplay option for Easysound Standalone. The stored audio is
output as an AES/EBU stereo pair (as AES3), which can be mixed with any
of the other inputs to the mixer.
Easyplay provides 40 minutes of audio storage which can be increased to 200
minutes with the MEM-200A option. Audio files are loaded from a floppy
disk drive or over the Ethernet interface in 16-bit, 48KHz.WAV format using
Miranda’s Media Conversion Software.
Easysound Standalone Inputs
Easysound Standalone has six AES/EBU digital stereo audio inputs available
from a single rear-panel connector of the host unit.
The inputs are identified as AES IN 1 to AES IN 6. Pre-selection enables
you to choose the inputs where:
♦ AES IN 1 and AES IN 2 may be replaced by embedded SDI digital audio
signals from the background or A input video stream
♦ AES IN 5 and AES IN 6 may be replaced by embedded digital audio
signals from the embedded SDI digital audio signals from the B input
video stream.
Once you have chosen (pre-selected) the inputs, the six selected stereo pairs
(twelve discrete audio channels) are taken to an audio mixer.
Audio Mixer Matrix
Up to twelve (mono) or six (stereo) audio channels may be directed to the
audio mixer matrix. The audio mixer matrix is effectively a twelve-input,
eight-output, mixing matrix. A total of ninety-six fader controls are situated
with one at each matrix cross over point.
