The Settings Menu at the top of the screen offers advanced settings.
Digital In Mute On Error
: When checked, all Digital Inputs (including any on the LStream ports) mute on any error
condition including the validity bit being set off. When unchecked all Digital Inputs continue to pass received data even if
it is invalid. Defaults to On.
Digital Out Valid
: When Checked, sets the validity bit in the digital output signal. This bit is used to indicate that that
signal being transmitted is suitable for be conversion to an analog audio signal. Defaults to On.
Digital Out Non-Audio
: Sets the non-audio channel status bit in the digital output signal. This bit is used to indicate that
that signal being transmitted is not PCM data, e.g. Dolby Digital or DTS compressed formats. Defaults to Off.
Digital Out Emphasis
: Sets the emphasis channel status bit in the digital output signal. This bit is used to indicate that
the signal being transmitted has been processed through an emphasis filter. Defaults to Off.
Record Dither Type
: Provides selection of the type of dither used on all record channels. The selection may
be one of the following:
None - Dither is disabled. Volume processing utilizes rounding prior to truncation. Default.
Triangular - Enables the addition of triangular probability density dither. This type of dither is free of data-
dependent noise modulation effects, but decreases signal-to-noise ratio by 4.8 dB. Triangular is the preferred
dither type in most cases.
Shaped Triangular - Enables the addition of shaped triangular probability density dither. This type of dither
is essentially high-pass filtered triangular dither that places most of the dither energy at higher frequencies
making it less audible to the human ear. Shaped triangular dither also decreases signal-to-noise by 4.8 dB.
Rectangular - This type of dither decreases the signal-to-noise ratio by 3 dB (less than triangular), but is less
desirable because of its noise modulation effects.
A>D High-Pass Filter
: Enables the high-pass filter built into the A/D converters. This filter blocks residual DC signals present at the input of the
converters. This should always be enabled. Defaults to On.
D>A De-emphasis
: Enables a de-emphasis filter in the D/A converters. This filter should be used if the data being sent to the converters has been
processed through an emphasis filter. Defaults to Off.
LStream Dual Internal
: Provides support for two LStream internal devices connected to the LStream 2 header. The control routes signals from the
LStream 1 Port bracket connector to the LStream 2 Port header connector. Currently, only the LS-AES is compatible with this feature. Default is Off.
MTC Source
: Controls the source of MIDI Time Code sent to an application. The signal received from
each source is automatically converted to MTC. The available sources are:
LTC Receiver - Time code from the LTC IN connector
LStream 1 ADAT Sync In – Time code from an LS-ADAT connected to LStream Port 1 (on bracket
connector)
LStream 2 ADAT Sync In – Time code from an LS-ADAT connected to LStream Port 2 (on internal
header connector)
