821116: AMP2-16V Series User Guide

Chapter 4 Features

Internal Router and Mixer

The wide variety of input and output possibilities offered by the

AMP2-16V is a product of the flexible internal digital audio routing

system depicted in the diagram in Figure 4–1 on page 63.

As a factory default, the AMP2-16V will be configured to produce

audio in the self-contained speakers from the card in the monitor's

lowest numbered occupied slot (typically Slot 1). However, you can

configure the monitor to produce audio in the front speakers from any

available input sources. Refer to I. Configure the Monitor Mixer on

page 5 for details.

Note that you can set up multiple audio paths. For example, while

monitoring de-embedded SDI audio channels through the speakers,

you may independently decode Dolby channels from an AES stream,

convert them to analog, and output them. Setups like this can be stored

as presets and called up at will.

Any monitored inputs can be routed to any AES or analog output pairs.

These powerful features will allow de-embedded, Dolby decoded, or

other digital or analog audio to be used by other products. The audio

that is output doesn't necessarily need to be monitored by the meters or

speakers.

Input channels can be metered, rearranged, monitored, and output in

any order, or even mixed, panned, and trimmed. The resulting mixed

output channels may also be metered. Refer to the How do I Show

Mixer Output Levels on the Level Meters? on page 51 for details.

Because an optional redundant internal power supply is available,

power integrity is assured and the output of the internal mixer can be

used for live events and broadcast chain use. Refer to the How Do I Mix

Any Input(s) to Any Output(s)? on page 49 and How Do I Adjust Mixer

Levels from the Main Screen? on page 50 for more information.
