Input Channel Config
This menu allows configuration of the various input channels. Scroll to the Input Channel Config menu.
Press the Select/Enter key. Scroll to the Input you want to configure and press the Select/Enter key. The
following items are available for each channel.
Audio Channel
Choose Audio In to select an audio channel. This settings determines whether HDMI audio, SDI audio,
audio applied to the analog or AES input channels or no audio is output to the AES output channels for
each individual video input channel. Note: The models have different audio boards and input
connectivity, not all audio input channels may be available.
Input Select Key
There are 4 select buttons on the front of the unit which can be associated with inputs; these are used
for quick selection of inputs.
Native Modes in EDID (HDMI only)
This is to allow the unit to be seen by a source to operate with a preferred video input mode. Some
sources output a de-interlaced SD signal automatically and they can be forced to output an interlaced
output.
Legacy Mode (HDMI only)
Puts the unit into HDMI 1.1 mode to support older sources which are unable to operate correctly on
seeing an HDMI 1.3 receiver. This can happen with some HDMI repeaters which copy EDID data from
the unit where that data exceeds
the source equipment’s own HDMI capability.
Colour Space (DVI/HDMI only)
Some HDMI sources or repeaters may not output in the color space they report. Some DVI sources may
not output in the RGB colour space. Their output colour space can be forced with this setting.
Colour Range (DVI/HDMI only)
Some HDMI sources or repeaters may not output in the color range they report. Some DVI sources may
not output in the full colour range. Their output colour range can be forced with this setting.
