Setting up audio and syncing
Loudness Pilot English Manual (2014-10-07) 55
►
Halt: When the sync source is not present
and the Clock Fallback parameter is set to
Halt, all AES outputs are turned off – meaning
no audio data and no AES carrier (no clock)
are being sent out. Use this setting if you pre-
fer to stop audio and clock output completely
in a reference sync error situation. In this sit-
uation, the input signals are also turned off,
and accordingly, meter activity will cease.
With both settings, Loudness Pilot will revert
to the reference input signal (as set with the
Sync source parameter) once it becomes avail-
able again. The changeover will be handled as
smoothly as possible on both audio and clock.
Bypass button
Settings: Enabled, Disabled
Use the Bypass button to immediately activate a
hardware bypass of the SDI signal, allowing it to
pass through Loudness Pilot unprocessed.
Setting up audio dithering
To set up audio dithering, go to Frame / Sys-
tem / I/O / Dither.
Fig. 28.: System – I/O – Dither page
Use the Dither page to set up if and how audio
signals should be dithered.
Dither out parameters
Setting “Off” (no dithering applied),
24 bit, 20 bit, 18 bit , 16 bit
Use the Dither out parameters to configure dith-
ering for each pair of audio signals.
By default, the Dither Out parameters swill be
shown for channel pairs 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, and 7/8.
Please note that channel pairs from 9/10 to 15/16
are only available as Sync Sources when you
have the optional AES 16ch license. For more
information, see “Extending your product’s ca-
pabilities with optional licenses” on page 121.
! If you are handling data-reduced formats, be
sure to set these parameters to “Off”.
