    BVE02-AFV The BVE02-AFV allows the creation of a complete audio mix, using all the faders of the mixer, for each vision source. The BVE02-AFV includes an external control panel that gives quick and simple control of the system for creating and updating each mix, whether during offline preparation or while on-air.

    Once the correct fader levels have been set the fader levels for that source are stored within the BVE02-PV. When that video and audio source is selected to the Program bus, the fader levels are recalled and applied to the faders of the channels carrying that source’s audio.

    BVE02. This setup will be stored in a scene memory for recall to reset the mixer to a known state when under ESAM control.
  • Page 9 1 to 4 on a 1:1 basis – channel 1 of group bus 1, ch2 to bus etc. The BVE02 checks for input channel routing to buses 1-8 and whether the corresponding track on the Recorder is in Edit mode before it controls the channel fader. Input channels not routed to a bus are therefore not controlled by the BVE02.

    Edit Controller Setups The setup of the Edit Controller varies according to the type of editor. An example of the setup is shown below. This information may also be helpful as a guide to those Edit Controllers which are not shown below. Sony BVE9100 The setup for the audio mixer control is described in the BVE9100 manual section “2-7-3 Setting the Mixer Control Conditions (MIXER LOCAL)”...

    Sony BVE2000 The setup for the audio mixer control is described in the BVE2000 manual section “5-1-6 Setting the Audio Mixer Operating Conditions” As a simple guide the recommended setup is:- Use page 4 “MIXER CONFIGURATION” of the SYSTEM SETUP MENU. Change the settings shown on this screen to the following :- MON MODE = BOTH (MIX)
  • Page 13: Monitoring

    To meet the exacting requirements of broadcast monitoring and metering, the monitor matrix generated by the BVE02 within the mixer delivers 2, 4 or 8 channels of discrete monitoring audio via the mixer Omni outputs that should be connected to an external metering and monitoring system.
  • Page 14: Edit Suite Monitoring Operation

    BVE02 needs to ‘know’ which input channel of a source Machine is fed to which output bus of the console. If setup switch 8 is ON, the BVE02 will monitor the bus routing selection of each mixer input channel and use this information to determine signal routing.

    The level of the faders of these last mixer channels may be adjusted, while hearing and metering the audio, to give the level appropriate for the programme and overall mix. The resulting fader level is stored by the BVE02 and applied to the corresponding input faders whenever that source is opened to the Program bus.
