The RS-422 tab allows the embedding of an RS-422 serial
data as ANC data in the HS/SD SDI signal.
Setting the insertion option to OFF will leave any already-
embedded RS-422 data untouched, while setting it at ON
will remove any existing embedded RS-422 data and
embed the incoming RS-422 data in the HD/SD SDI signal.
The parity pulldown, allows the user to set the parity to
NONE, ODD or EVEN, insuring the continuity of the input
signal’s parity.
The GPI insertion tab allows the embedding of sampled
GPI status data as ANC data. Setting the option OFF will
not insert the GPI data, leaving the already embedded data
untouched, while setting it to ON wil overwrite it,
embedding the new GPI data in the HD/SD-SDI signal.
Input error
In the event of an imput failure, activating the auto black
feature will replace the video input with a locally generated
video black in order to maintain audio embedding.
Test
The test menu allows the user to enable test signals on the
AES and video outputs for troubleshooting purposes.
Factory
Clicking the Load Factory button will restore all of the
adjustable parameters to a factory-preset state. Those
preset settings are indicated by an underline in the AMX-
1842 menu on pages 4 and 5 of this manual.

Select any one of the five presets using the pull-down list.
The name of the currently-selected User Preset is shown
on the name bar.
• Click Load to load the contents of the selected User
Preset into the AMX-1842. All parameter settings and
values will be replaced by the contents of the selected
User Preset.
• Click Save to store the current parameter settings and
values from the AMX-1842 into the selected User
Preset. The existing contents of the preset will be
overwritten.
Enables color bars into the
video output.

R-steady, L-pulsed, at-18
dBFS) in each of the four AES
channels individually
Enables an output test loop
(10 second loop starting at
23:59:00:00) in the video as
