1. General M6205A-3G Section

The general M6205A-3G section includes three tabs, they are Card Info, Cards Status, and DTS info. Please see the pages above for more information. 2. Audio Routing Section 3. Audio Groups Enabled

Determines the number of audio groups embedded in the output stream 4. SDI Embedded Audio

Selects the 16 audio channels for output SDI stream, choices are;

Any 8 of the processed audio channels from the DTS daughter card

Any 4 of the external audio channels, with or without sample rate conversion engaged.

Any of the 16 embedded input audio channels 5. Go to Default / Go to Custom toggle

Switches between the default audio path, and unlocking custom routing of the audio path

Default audio choices are:

AES1 through AES4 are taken from the output of the daughter card, AES5 to AES8 are passed through to the output. 6. Save Audio Routing Settings:

Saves the following parameters:

Audio Groups Enabled

SDI Embedded Audio 7. Optional Equipment Tab

Please see the optional equipment section Optional Equipment Section The M6205A-3G has a 72 pin SIMM card connector slot. This slot allows the user to add additional audio processing cards. The following sections will include specific instructions for M6205A-3G cards with optional equipment installed:

M6205A-3G may be optionally equipped with the following:

+MultiMerge +UpMix +NLC +Dolby E/AC3 Decode

1. General M6205A-3G Section

Please refer to the Remote Dashboard M6205A-3G Section 2. Input Source (Mode):

Selects which AES pair is fed into the card:

AES1-AES3 will automatically upmix or downmix depending on which inputs are connected. If a source is connected to AES1, the card will automatically upmix the audio. If a source is connected on AES inputs 1 through 3, the card will automatically downmix the audio. AES4 is the auxiliary audio input. The card will upmix audio from this input when routed properly. 3. DTS Audio In

The user may select which 8 audio channels are to be processed by the DTS MultiMerge processing card. The user has the potential to select from the 16 embedded audio channels from the SDI input, or from the 4 external audio channels from the AES inputs. The user may also choose to have the external audio channels sample rate converted prior to being processed by the DTS MultiMerge card. 4. Go to Default / Go to Custom toggle

configures the 8 input channels of the DTS MultiMerge to the default choices. The default choices are as shown in the above Dashboard schreenshot. 5. Output Mode:

Selects if MultiMerge is active, or in-active

In-Line = MultiMerge is active. Bypass = MultiMerge is in-active 6a. UpMix LFE cutoff (Hz):

Controls the cutoff frequency of the lowpass filter for the LFE channel when the card is UpMixing. 6b. DownMix LFE Cutoff (Hz):

Controls the cutoff frequency of the lowpass filter for the LFE channel when the card is DownMixing. 7. Save MultiMerge Settings:

Saves the following parameters:

Custom: DTS input channels are set to user choices. The user has the potential to select from the 16 embedded audio channels from the SDI input, or from the 4 external audio channels from the AES inputs. the user may also choose to have the external audio channels sample rate converted prior to being processed by the DTS NLC5.1 card. 5. Output Mode:

Selects if NLC5.1 is active, or in-active
