IN

In this display you have various indicators telling you

what kind of Digital signal you are receiving.

Pre-emphasis

This parameter tells whether the incoming signal is

Pre-emphasized or not.

Note! The Finalizer does not remove the Pre-emphasis.

Source device (Category code).

The device status of the received signal is shown in this indicator.

Status of the copybits.

OUT

In this display you set up various important Output

parameters.

COPY ENABLE

Set the copyrights of your material:

- No copies

- 1 copy only

- Infinite number of copies.

Note: The copy protection is only valid with S/PDIF signals.

STATUS BITS OUT

AES/EBU

When AES/EBU is selected the Finalizer will send out its own

professional set of status bits, meaning that any incoming ID will

be lost. However, in order to take full advantage of the

Finalizer’s 24-bit resolution you should select AES/EBU to make

sure that the receiving device after the Finalizer will accept all 24

bits.

S/PDIF

When S/PDIF is selected, the Finalizer will send its own con-

sumer status bits out, meaning that any incoming ID will be lost.

The Finalizer’s S/PDIF Output carries up to 24 bits. Only the

S/PDIF signal contains copy protection information.

From Input

When this setting is selected the Finalizer will send the same

information out as it received. However, you still have the option

to change the copy status.
