Description

Dithering Digital Outputs

Dithering Digital Outputs
When digital audio is transferred to lower-resolution systems,
truncated bits may generate unpleasant noise. To cancel the
audible effect of this noise, a small complement of noise is
intentionally added to the digital outputs. This process is
called "dithering. "
On the 01V96i, you can dither the 2TR Digital Outputs and
Slot Outputs. For example, you can apply dithering to the
01V96i stereo mix data and record to a 16-bit digital recorder.
1.
Press the DISPLAY ACCESS [DIO/SETUP] but-
ton repeatedly until the DIO/Setup | Format
page appears.
The dithering settings are displayed at the bottom of the
page.
2.
Move the cursor to the output or channel to
which you want to apply dithering, then
rotate the Parameter wheel or press the
[INC]/[DEC] buttons to select the value that
matches the resolution of the receiving
device.
Note:
• You cannot apply dithering to outputs or channels that are
set to "OFF. "
• Dithering is effective only when the resolution of the
receiving device is lower than that of the 01V96i.
Tip: To copy the currently-selected setting to all channels,
double-click the [ENTER] button. The copy confirmation
window is displayed.
