Safety Instructions

1. Read, keep, and follow all of these instructions; heed all warnings.

2. Do not use this equipment near water.

3. Use only a dry cloth to clean the equipment.

IMPORTANT:

4. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install only

with the instructions in the section entitled, “Installation

Recommendations” on page 3.

5. Do not install near any heat source such as a radiator, heat register,

amplifier, or stove.

6. Do not expose the equipment to rain or moisture.

7. Do not attempt to plug the unit into a two-blade outlet (with only

two prongs of equal width).

By design, this monitor will only plug into a three-prong outlet for your safety. If the plug does not fit into your outlet, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.

8. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched,

particularly at plug’s source on the equipment and at the socket.

9. Use only the attachments/accessories specified by th

manufacturer.

in accordance

e

10. Unplug the equipment during lightning storms or when unused

for long periods of time.

11. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing will be

required under all of the following conditions:

• The equipment has been damaged in any way, such as when

the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.

• Liquid had been spilled or objects have fallen onto the

equipment.

• The equipment has been exposed to rain or moisture.

• The equipment does not operate normally.

• The equipment has been dropped.

Installation Recommendations

Mounting

The unit is designed to install into a standard 19" rack, mounted at eye level for best visual observation of the monitor screens. After installing the AMP1-16V-MD, remove the clear, plastic protective covers from each screen using the tabs provided.

Heat Dissipation

The ambient temperature inside the mounting enclosure should not exceed 40° Celsius (104° Fahrenheit). Adjacent devices can be rack mounted (or stacked) in proximity to the unit if the above temperature is not exceeded. If the product must be operated in an environment with an elevated temperature, allow a 1RU (1.75”/44.45mm) space above and below the unit for air circulation.

Important:

Power

To reduce noise, neither the AMP1-16V-MD nor the AMP1-E16V-MD have any fans. As a result, the heat generated by the class D power amplifiers, power supplies, and other components is vented by slots in the sides of the unit. Therefore, as a safety precaution, we advise you to be sure to allow proper ventilation on both sides of the unit.

The AMP1-16V-MD has a standard IEC connector on the rear panel from which it can connect to AC mains power (100 to 240 VAC ± 10%, 50/60 Hz, 65W). You may use the power cord provided, or another approved cord, to adapt the unit to the proper country-specific power connection.

Compliance

FCC

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

IC-ECES-003

This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.

Cet appareil numérique de la classe A est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.

Balance and Volume Rotary Knobs: Control knobs are on the left and right of the front panel video displays. The left knob controls the

Volume and the speaker output and can be programmed to control the

AES and Analog outputs. Pressing this control drops the internal speaker volume by 20 dB. Pressing it a second time mutes the internal speakers entirely. Pressing it a third time brings the internal speaker volume back to normal. Turning the knob to increase the volume increases it from the current volume, whether from the 20dB dip or from the completely muted state.

The right knob adjusts the Balance between the speakers. Pressing the knob returns the audio balance to center. This knob is also used for setting adjustments when programming the options and features in the configuration menus.

• Analog Outputs: This DB-25F connector provides eight channels of

balanced analog outputs.The source of these signals is controlled by the setup menus. (The pin out of this connector is shown in Table 3–

3 on page 43.)

• AES Outputs: Each of these two HD-15F connectors supplies four

pairs of unbalanced AES outputs for a total of eight. The source of these signals is determined by the setup menus. (The pin out of these connectors is shown in Table 3–2 on page 42.)

• AES Inputs: Each of these eight BNC connectors provides an

unbalanced AES input. The monitoring of these signals is determined by the setup menus.

This DB-9F connector is used for system software upgrades.

• 3G/HD/SD-SDI Inputs: These two BNC connectors input two

separate SDI signals. Front panel controls select between the two for monitoring or down converting.

How do I Decode and Monitor a Dolby Bitstream?

You can continuously monitor a single Dolby bitstream from the SDI or AES inputs even if the bitstream itself doesn't appear on the Main

Screen meters. You can also continuously monitor the Dolby

metadata.

Note:

The AMP1-E16V-MD must contain the optional Dolby decoder card in order to decode a Dolby bitstream.

Setting up continuous Dolby bitstream monitoring is a two-step process, first set up the Decoder card and then set up the monitoring channels. The first step involves configuring the Dolby decoder card:

1. Press the

Balance knob to the AES or SDI channel pair that contains the

Decoder Source control button and then turn the

Dolby bitstream to be decoded.

2. Follow the instructions on the next page to select the meter

channels on which you would like to view the decoded channels.

How do I Configure the AES and Analog Outputs?

You can use the AES and analog output ports to output selected signals from the inputs: from the optional Dolby decoder, from the monitor mix, or from the single monitor pair mixed to the speakers.

AES and Analog Output menus are very similar. To configure

The one of them go to the AES Output Menu or Analog Output Menu as shown:

There are two output modes: Selected Sources or Monitor

Channels. Press the upper left Output = button. Then toggle between

these two modes by pressing the Balance knob. In the example below, we show the AES Output Configuration Menu, but the steps equally apply to the Analog Output Configuration Menu.

Figure 2–9 AES Output Configuration Menu in

Selected Sources Mode

1. Press the Channel Pair button. Note that the channel pairs scroll

right and left as you turn the Balance knob so that you can select any one of the eight AES channel pairs (or four analog channel pairs).
