The Channel Status View
The 764 Channel Status view displays the channel status information
that is embedded in AES3-1992 (professional) or IEC-958 (consum-
er) digital audio signals. Press CLEAR MENU (if necessary to exit a
menu), then the VIEW:CH. STATUS button to select the Channel
Status view.
You can choose to display the Channel Status in one of four formats:
fully decoded text (the default, illustrated in Figure 28), binary
(Figure 29), transmission-order binary, or hexidecimal. To change
display formats, press the soft button assigned to the desired format,
as listed on the right side of the Channel Status View.
H In Text mode, the Channel Status data is spelled out in “plain
English,” as shown in Figure 28. The 764 will decode embedded
channel status data per AES3-1992 or IEC-958 depending on the
state of the first-transmitted channel status bit (bit 0 of byte 0).
Press the top (CHAN) soft button to toggle between the two input
channel pairs (1&2 and 3&4).
