Avid Technology Artist DNxIV Installation And Operation Manual page 45

• SDI Ch 1-16 - The embedded audio being received on the Avid Artist | DNxIV SDI In
connectors.
• Mic In - Audio from the Avid Artist | DNxIV front panel XLR connector. Select Mic, Line, or
+48 with the front panel switch, and control the level with the front panel Gain knob.
Host Audio
Selects the audio from the host computer, thus enabling the AJA hardware to monitor anything that
would normally be presented via the host laptop, CPU or computer monitor. For example, an editor
could sample music from an online library, while concurrently playing back their NLE timeline. Or, a
producer and editor could be communicating live during an editing session, using Skype or some
other video calling tool.
Source Gain
Meters display the input audio levels of the source, colored green when that source is On, and gray
when that source is not selected. The levels shown do not change when the gain is adjusted, because
the input levels are being monitored, not the output levels.
When activated, the source gain controls can be used to adjust the monitoring output gain of that
source, from +6dB to - infinity (mute). Adjustment methods include:
• Sliders - The sliders on the right can be used to change the values for each color.
• Numeric Entry - You also enter a numeric value by clicking on the displayed number, and can
increase or decrease the values clicking on the up/down arrow boxes.
• Cut and Paste - Right clicking on a displayed number opens a Cut, Copy, Paste dropdown menu
for convenient numeric entry.
As mentioned before, these controls are for monitoring only, and do not change the audio recorded to
a NLE file. Any actual recording level adjustments to Capture or Audio Punch In / Voice Over to
Timeline operations will either need to be made upstream of the AJA input, or else via adjustments
within the main NLE application (e.g. via a pass through mix tool).
