The 5.1 monitor output levels can be
controlled by way of a large, easy-to-use
rotary control. The level control auto
mute all function ensures the monitor
output channels automatically mute when-
ever the rotary level control is in its fully
counterclockwise (minimum) position.
By using the reference level function,
the monitor output level can be set to a
pre-confi gured value. This is provided
for audio-with-picture applications which
require a specifi c monitor level. The refer-
ence level is easily confi gured by taking an
electronic “snapshot” of the position of the
rotary level control. For operator confi rma-
tion, a 4-digit LED display shows the level
of the monitor output. The display can be
confi gured for either an attenuation mode
or a direct db SPL value.
The dim function allows the monitor output
level to be reduced by a fi xed dB amount.
The dim level is selected from four avail-
able levels. A mute all function allows all
monitor output channels to be simultane-
ously muted. The channel solo function
allows one or more specifi c channels to
be monitored while the others are auto-
matically muted.
Two functions allow the format of the
monitored sources to be checked for level
or phase inconsistencies. The 5.1 to ste-
reo downmix function is used to create a
stereo signal from the selected 5.1 sur-
round source. The stereo to mono down-
mix function allows audio on the left and
right channels to be added (summed) and
monitored on the monitor’s system’s center
channel. The two downmix functions can
be simultaneously enabled, allowing a 5.1
surround source to be checked for mono
compatibility.
A special “director cue” output function
is provided. This allows a monaural or
stereo input to be connected to the Model
761 Central Controller, which also has
