Tone Generator Function
The 9061 contains four built-in tone generators (Tone Generator 1 thru Tone 
Generator 4). Each of the four tone generators can be set to a different 
frequency, and are available as audio sources for the embedded or AES audio 
outputs. 
18 discrete sine wave frequencies are available, ranging from 50 Hz to 16 kHz 
(default frequency is 1.0 kHz).
Audio Routing Example
Figure 1-8 shows an example of using the 9061 audio embedding/
de-embedding and routing functions to de-embed audio, route the audio to 
discrete outputs for post-production processing (in this example, a console 
used for post-production EQ, levels, and monitor), and finally re-embed the 
audio into the SDI video output. Additionally, the example shows how 
external analog and internal tone generator sources can be embedded into the 
SDI output (in this example, a provision for local station ID voice-over analog 
and a tone). 
Note that the source and destination correlations shown here are only 
examples; any source can route to any destination.
