4. T E LE Gr EDIA Bidirectional Media Converter GENERAL OPERATION To convert analog signals to DV the ANALOG button must be used The First push of the Analog button sets the unit in Composite to DV mode A second push selects the COMPONENT YC mode There is a Toggle switch located to the right of the ANALOG switch that is labeled YUV If this switch is in the down position then the LTM 5500FS will input the YC sig nals for DV conversion If the switch is in the up position then the LTM 5500FS will allow component signals to be con verted to DV If you are working in YC and require Component then switch to DV mode first set YUV toggle to UP posi tion then push ANALOG switch twice The LED above the YUV toggle switch will illuminate indicating Component to DV mode AUDIO ENCODE AUDIO LEVEL NTSC PAL TECH NOTES During analog to DV conversion the LTM 5500FS has 2 choices for audio encoding 32KHz and 48KHz Press the pushbutton below the audio encode LEDs to select the desired rate The LEDs will illuminate accordingly NOTE This function is for analog to DV only and is disengaged during DV to analog mode The audio input level to the DV CODEC can be adjusted during analog to DV mode using the Level control knobs on the front panel The unit has a limit of 3dbVU which prevents over modulating the audio CODEC During DV to analog mode the VU meters will monitor the audio output from the CODEC In this mode th
