The MuliDyne C16A-2's large vacuum flourescent display on the front panel displays the audio levels on 16 bar graph VU/PPM meters and simultaneously provides ITU1770-3 loudness measurements. Additionally SDI signal status, group audio prescence and a reset timer for the LKFS meter are also visable on the display.
With simplicity in mind the C16A-2 has been designed with an intuitive user interface to allow for easy access to the signals you need to monitor. Twelve illuminated pushbuttons located directly below the meters provide intuitve audio channel source selection and L/R Solo, SUM, and Lt/Rt Downmix modes directly from the front panel.
A military spec rotary shaft encoder is used to provide volume control with a unique push to mute speaker function. Also located on the front panel is a ¼" jack for use when headphones are required. The C16A-2 internal speakers are muted once a headset has been plugged in.
The rear panel allows for a single 3G/HD/SD-SDI input and provides a reclocked SDI output. Two 3-pin terminal block connectors provide a stereo analog audio output that can be used to drive a set of studio grade powered speakers. The GPI connector can be jumpered to allow the front panel volume control to control the monitor output level. An RJ45 connector provides an ethernet connection to connect the C16A-2 to the openGear dashboard software to allow access to loudness measurement settings, software updates, and remote monitoring.
The C16A-2 is powered by an external power supply included with the unit. A secondary power supply connector is provided for those applications where an optional redundant power supply may be desired.
