14811 • January 2005 • Introduction/overview INTRODUCTION/OVERVIEW The multi-function Sigma DA5320 8 Channel Mixer/Router module is a member of the Sigma 5000 series OctaStream™ product line. The DA5320 is to be used in facilities utilizing AES digital audio signals requiring input gain and phase adjustment or where AES digital audio mixing and single channel routing is needed. PRODUCT SCOPE This module has the capability to perform two distinct functions 1.
14811 • January 2005 • Receiving Inspection and Unpacking RECEIVING INSPECTION AND UNPACKING By the time you have found and opened this manual, you have already begun to unpack the shipping container. Since damage may have occurred in shipping it is important to perform the following checks immediately: • Inspect the shipping container(s) for damage. • If you find any damage to the containers, carefully inspect the product for damage. • If any damage is discovered, notify the shipping carrier immediately.
14811 • January 2005 • System Components SYSTEM COMPONENTS Frame The DA5320 module is engineered to operate in a Sigma S5000 Signal Management Frame. This frame provides all the necessary interface components and power for operation of the DA5320 module. Interface Components To accommodate a variety of connector requirements necessary for the signal formats accepted by the S5000 Signal Management System, a number of backplanes are available.
14811 • January 2005 • Module Installation/Removal MODULE INSTALLATION/REMOVAL The DA5320 may be installed in any module slot in a S5000 Signal Management System frame. Up to ten (10) modules of any type may be installed in the same frame. Modules may be hot-swapped eliminating the need to power down the entire frame during replacement.

14811 • January 2005 • Operation OPERATION Front Panel Controls/Displays The front panel, shown below, has three distinct functional areas - the Indicator LED’s under the OctaStream logo on the right side; the switch controls, mostly on the left side and the 7-segment display in the middle. INDICATOR LED’S LED’s are visible from the exterior of the frame when the front door is installed to accommodate checking the status of the modules without affecting the operating conditions within the frame.
14811 • January 2005 • Operation CONTROLS SELECT BUTTON The Select button is used to progress to a lower menu level. If pressed repeatedly, the display will always return to the idle display (see below) without making any changes to any menu items. Pressing select after a data store (TAKE) resets the menu to the level where the last option selection was initiated, allowing the operator to perform similar operations on other channels or modify the data just stored.
14811 • January 2005 • Operation Display Activation To access menus when the Idle Display is showing, press any button. Status Check To check the current status of any parameter, activate the menu display and navigate through the menu to the edit screen for the parameter of interest. The initial display will be static, indicating the current data being held in memory for that parameter.
14811 • January 2005 • Operation Configurable Parameters/Menu Items Note: What follows is a discussion of the configurable parameters in the DA5320. To view a diagram of the flow of the menu structure with simple operating instructions, see the section of the manual entitled MENU STRUCTURE that follows this discussion. There are a number of items that are configurable on the DA5320. These fall into two basic categories - Input Parameters and Output Parameters.
811 • January 2005 • Operation sent to the ouput may be adjusted immediately prior to being sent to the output connector. These features are detailed in the Output Channel Assignment/Mixing/Gain Control section below. The DA5320 has two additional features that are available to the user to assist in providing quality I/O routing. It can be configured to provide V-fades in the event of data errors or abrupt level changes caused by wiring or routing changes.
14811 • January 2005 • Operation Output Channel Assignment/Mixing/Gain Control The sub-menu item is used to configure the routing matrix of defined inputs to specific physical output connectors and the mixing operation of the DA5320. It is located under the main menu item. When the menu item is initially selected, it displays the current mix selection for the selected output. This menu item also allows selection of which channels are to be mixed to create the specified ouput.
14811 • January 2005 • Operation any valid NTSC or PAL video signal or AES Digital Audio. The DA5320 will match its ouptut signal timing to be synchronized to this reference. To have the DA5320 match its output signal timing to the internal reference the menu setting must be set to ON. Reset Type/Initiation Occasionally it may be necessary, or convenient, to clear the data stored in memory by resetting the DA5320.
14811 • January 2005 • Operation Non-Volatile Configuration Parameter Storage All configuration data can be stored in the FlashROM to preserve it in the event of a loss of power. On power-up, all settings will be returned to their previous settings. The save operation is iniitiated via the menu item.
14811 • January 2005 • Menu Structure MENU STRUCTURE The following graphic display of the menu structure is provided to give the user an overall view of the commands that are accessible via the front panel controls. Detailed explanations of each parameter have been provided above. To access the menus from the Idle Display, press any button.
