Sound Devices 664 - Manual (Page 29)

Tape Outputs, by default, send the Left and Right stereo program. The Tape outputs can be used to
send the incoming RTN A, RTN B, or RTN C signals directly to receiving devices from Setup Menu
option OUTPUTS > Tape Out Source. This is useful for sending an IFB wireless feed of the RTN
audio to the producer for video playback.
Master and Aux Bus Level
The output gain of the Master Bus and the Aux Bus is adjustable from Off, -30 to 0dB. To adjust out-
put gain:
1. From the Main Screen, turn the Select Encoder to highlight the output(s) to be attenuated.
2. Press the Select Encoder. The output level of the highlighted track will be displayed in the
lower right-hand corner of the LCD. If no adjustment is made before 3 seconds, the selection will
cancel. This is to avoid accidental adjustments.
3. Turn the Select Encoder to adjust the gain.
Outputs that are linked (from Setup Menu item OUTPUTS > Linking) will be shown as a connected
box on the Main Screen and their gain will be adjusted simultaneously.
AES Digital Outputs
There is a total of 8 available channels of digital output on 4 connections. Each of the XLR-3M or
10-pin A outputs can be configured to output AES3 digital signals from the Setup Menu options
OUTPUTS > XLR-R Out, OUTPUTS > XLR-L Out, and OUTPUTS > 10-pin A Out.
Any track can be routed to any AES output in any combination. ISO Tracks are routed to AES out-
puts pre- or post-fade depending on the setting in the Input Settings window.
The AES output routing can be edited from the Setup Menu item OUTPUTS > AES Output Routing.
This interface consists of a matrix in which the columns are tracks and the rows are the numbered
AES outputs. The blue boxes indicate routed tracks and the black boxes indicate unrouted tracks.
Turn the Select Encoder to move the orange highlighter vertically and turn the Headphone Encoder
to move the highlighter horizontally. Press either the Select Encoder or the Headphone encoder to
toggle the routing status of the highlighted track.
