Chapter 16 AUDIO
Less than 100 years ago, movies were silent. We’ve come a very long way since “The
Jazz Singer” (1927, Warner Bros.), and great audio now plays a huge role in video
production. NewTek live production systems provide an extensive set of professional
quali
ty audio tools, which we’ll explore in this chapter.
External audio connections and basic configuration were touched on back in Sections 3.5.1 and 3.7.1. A
tabbed pane labeled
Audio Mixer, found just below the main Switcher presents more precise control over
individual audio sources and outputs.
FIGURE 204
Compact sub-panels in this pane provide configuration and control for individual audio sources and also
audio outputs as follows, from left to right:
• External audio sources (audio INPUTS 1-32).
o APPS – a special input provided for use with Live Call Connect.
o TALKBACK – a special input provided for use with Skype TX inputs.
o AUDIO MIXER SCROLL BAR - allows you to access all 32 inputs by using the scroll bar located
below the SOLO buttons.
• Internal sources – Media Players , and Effects (sound embedded in Animation Store transitions).
• Aux 1 to 3 – controls for Aux audio busses.
• Phones – volume control for the system’s headphone output.
• Master – controls the primary audio bus.
• (Audio level controls for output recorders and streaming are located in the Output Configuration
pane.)
NOTE: Backplane analog outputs carry the first two channels assigned to Master and Aux 1.
