Output Load
This option is only available on the 8x8 Analog
node’s Destinations screen. This setting has two options.
The usual selection is Hi-Z and is used when the node’s
outputs are fed to High impedance destination devices.
When the node is feeding 600 Ohm inputs the 600 ohm
option should be selected. This boosts the node’s out-
put level by ~1 dB to maintain true +4 levels into 600
Ohm equipment to ensure
unity gain. The clip point
remains at 24 dB.
Listen Links
For each destination
stream where a Standard
stream is available, the
Destinations page will
show a clickable link “Lis-
ten”. Clicking on this link
will launch the local PC
application currently regis-
tered as the default players
for “.sdp” files. For exam-
ple, the Real Audio player.
NOTE: while the Apple QuickTime Player supports
.sdp files, it does not support multicast streams and will
not work.
The Meters Page
The Meters screen, shown on the below, is simply a
metering screen that shows the audio level of all local
sources (local inputs) and destinations (local outputs) for
the node. The screen is divided into two sections, with
inputs on the left and outputs on the right. Each section
has 8 pairs of meters, with a left and right meter for
each input or output. Note that the levels shown are in
the digital domain, and are therefore calibrated in dBfs.
Therefore it is worth noting that the color-coding of the
meters is somewhat arbitrary; the meters turn red 9 dB
before the clip point (e.g. 9 dB below digital full scale)
but this does not represent an overload condition.
Meters Inputs
While we recommend setting the gain setting for in-
puts based on the peak output clip point of the source
equipment (see Source Page, above), you can use the
meter screen to tweak input Gain settings “by eye” if
desired.
Meters Outputs
These eight pairs of meters represent the Livewire
streams being output from this node. These are primar
