Easysound Audio
What is Easysound?
Easysound is a digital audio mixer board that can be added to the Miranda
Technologies Ltd range of broadcast products to enable you to add voice-
overs, programme jingles, and other audio inserts over background video
soundtracks.
Easyplay provides a software upgrade to Easysound (and its host unit) and is
designed to operate within Imagestore. The Easyplay upgrade extends the
features of Easysound to include the association of sounds with image files
such as:
♦ musical logos
♦ sound enhanced captions
♦ emergency images
Easysound Inputs
Easysound has six AES/EBU digital stereo audio inputs available from a
single rear-panel connector of the host unit. For further details see Rear panel
connections below.
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.
