4 Advanced Operation
Attenuator Limits: You can set the maximum attenuation from 0 dB to
–100 dB. This feature allows you to set a limit on the attenua tors. Once set,
attenuation cannot be adjusted beyond this level. The attenuator limit appears
as a line in the attenuator bar meter.
NOTE: The attenuator setting must be below the attenuator limit that you are
trying to set. For example, if the attenuator is set at –3 dB, you cannot set the
attenuator limit below –3 dB unless you decrease the attenuator level.

Input Sources: For each channel, turn the Encoder to select ana log, digital,
or automatic backup source. Options are:
Analog
Digital
Digital with analog backup <Digital A-Backup>
Digital with analog override <Digital A-Ovride>
Digital with analog backup: The I-Tech HD is being fed a digital signal and an
analog signal. The input is currently switched to the digital signal. If it fails, the
I-Tech HD switches instantly to the analog signal.
Digital with analog override: The input is switched to the digital sig nal, and no
analog signal is applied. If an analog signal is sent, the I-Tech HD switches
instantly to the analog signal. If the analog signal fails, the I-Tech HD switches
to the digital signal after a delay set by the Hold Time slider in the Input Section
of the System Architect page.

Maximum Analog Input: Turn an Encoder to select the maximum input level
to the amplifi er: +21 dBu or +15 dBu. Press the knob to confi rm your selection.
Note: Changing this value changes the range of sensitivities available to the
amplifi er.
For more information see Figure 4.4 and the I-Tech Sensitivity Charts in the
Appendix of the I-Tech Application Guide. It is available online at www.

AES Input Status: "Lock" indicates that an AES cable is plugged in and the
amplifi er is receiving (and locking to) the AES clock pulse. "No Lock" means
that the amplifi er is not receiving, or is not locking to the AES clock pulse.
