Configuration

Local Onboard Configuration Settings

The 8920DMX can be configured using the rotary switch shown in

Figure 5

on page 14

to access the configuration items shown in

Table 3

. To make a

configuration setting, rotate the switch to the desired configuration param-
eter. Use the paddle switch to select either the switch Up or switch Down
setting.

Note

Currently, when an audio group is extracted and deleted from the SD output,
the demultiplexing chip does not revise the CRC checksum included in the
output signal. As a result, a CRC error may be reported by downstream
devices.

Table 4

provides the possible input conditions and the output condition

that result when the rotary switch is set to extract and pass G1 (position 2),
G2 (position 3), G3 (position 4) or G4 (position 5) or extract and delete the
selected group.

If G(n) exists in incoming video, AES1 and AES2 will be extracted, and unchanged video will be
passed. If G(n) does not exist in the incoming video, the AES output will be digital silence.

If extracted group has been selected to be deleted (rotary switch settings 6 – 9), extracted audio group
will be deleted from incoming video stream. (See
