You may choose to think of these audio sources as being associated with the same-numbered video
inputs in the nearby rows on the rear connector panel. This notional linkage is not strictly enforced,
however.
You can connect directly to any external audio source in the Advanced Configuration panel. Also, for
reasons of your own, you may well prefer to treat various audio sources as independent of the nominally
associated video input.
Naturally, only one connection can be active for a given audio input at any moment. To access the
Connection menu, move the cursor into the label of an input, and click the Configure (gear) button that
appears just at right. The Advanced Audio Configuration panel will be shown. The drop-down Connection
menu at the top of this pane allows the selection of one of the supported sources.
By default, local physical sources are listed as Input 1, 2, and so on
•
• Follow Video Source – the default selection, follows the same numbered Switcher video input
• All available NDI (network) audio sources
For most Inputs 1-8, the connection type control at right defaults to either Auto-Detect (or Embedded in
Video), providing automatic detection of sound from HDMI, SDI and NDI video sources. To connect to
the analog audio input connectors, instead, select Input 2 and then choose the Line option from this menu.
The default Connection option for external Audio Mixer inputs is Follow Video Source. When one of AV-
HLC100's video inputs is assigned to the Skype TX Caller source, the audio control group is thus
automatically assigned to govern incoming audio from that remote Skype caller by default.
Note: It is not necessary to configure a special audio 'mix minus' to serve as the return sound for the
remote Skype caller. AV-HLC100 handles this automatically, ensuring that (except when the TalkBack
feature is engaged) the remote caller receives a special mix comprised of the Master mix with the
remote caller's sound removed.
The Audio Mixer input labeled TALKBACK serves a special purpose, providing a way to converse with
remote Skype TX Callers off-air (i.e., without intruding into your live program). You can choose what
audio source to supply for TalkBack purposes from a variety of input types, as discussed in the previous
sections.
As mentioned earlier, the default Connection option for an external Audio Mixer input assigned to a Skype
TX channel allows the corresponding controls to govern audio from the remote Skype caller. In this case
(that is, when an audio control is 'listening' to a Skype TX channel), a new button labeled TALK is added
beside the group's SOLO button.
