Dsp Time Saving; Disable Mix Down; Special Modes; Player/Recorder Mode - Merging Pyramix 4.3 User Manual

Important! Typical digital to analog or analog to digital converters (such as Merging Technolo-
gies Sphynx or DUAII do not operate beyond +/- 0.15 ‰ (150 ppm) and therefore will mute in
any Varispeed mode. It is suggested to route the Mykerinos digital I/O's through external real-
time sampling rate conversion circuitry or to use adequate external converters with built-in pull-
up or pull-down support.
Note: Note: Locking to external NTSC video reference is limited to nominal and pull-
down sampling rates.
Nominal
'Normal' mode. Uses the nominal sampling rate as set in the Sampling Rate pull-down menu.
Pull-Up
Increases the sampling rate by 0.1%. Most often used in audio post production for compatibility reasons
between NTSC frame rates of 30 fps and 29.97 fps.
Pull-Down
Decreases the sampling rate by 0.1%. Most often used in audio post production for compatibility rea-
sons between NTSC frame rates of 30 fps and 29.97 fps.
Varispeed
The speed of audio playback can be varied within the range of -12.5% to +12.5%. Select this option,
then enter the required speed change in tenths of percents into the adjacent entry field. Values entered
outside of the allowed range will be limited to the extent of the allowed range. E.g. if 1500 is entered, the
value will be set to 1125.
Resulting Sampling Rate
Displays the sampling rate resulting from pull-up or down or Varispeed settings.
Note: The sampling rate display in the Status Bar also displays the resulting sampling
rate.

DSP Time Saving

Disable the Punch in/out
When the box is checked, Punch-in and out recording capabilities are disabled.
Important! Pyramix still will allow you to arm tracks and to start the recording process, but the
resulting media file will contain digital nulls.

Disable Mix Down

When the box is checked, the digital mixdown function activated with the menu command Project->Mix
Down is disabled.
Important! Pyramix still will allow you to start the mixdown process, but the resulting media file
will contain digital nulls.

Special Modes

Player/Recorder Mode

This mode allows big configurations (such as 48 x 48 channels) to run on a single board. When this
mode is activated, the mixer only routes the signals (no level controls, no pan, no plug-ins). This option
is only available in configurations with multiple mono mix buses.
