Input Setup And Control; Input Settings Window - Sound Devices 788T-SSD User Manual And Technical Information

Input Setup and Control

The 788T has eight inputs and twelve record tracks. Inputs can be analog or digital sources. Analog
inputs 1-4 use XLR connectors; inputs 5-8 use TA3 connectors. Digital AES3 inputs 1-8 use the DE-15
(D-Sub) connector.
Analog and digital inputs can be used simultaneously.
Gain is controlled by the front panel Input Gain Potentiometers. They can be switched to the Off
position to disable and power down the input and to ultimately extend battery life. Disable inactive
inputs by turning the Input Gain Pot to the full counter-clockwise (Off) position. The Input Gain Pots
must be activated to route the respective input to a track and/or access the Input Settings Window.

Input Settings Window

From the Input Settings Window, view and/or change the following settings:
• Input Type
• Phantom Power
• High-Pass Filter
• Input Gain (Trim and Fader)
• Input Limiter

To enter the Input Settings Window, press the desired input's Front Panel Input Selector Switch. The
Input Settings Window will latch on, this allows for one handed operation of the 788T. If momentary
action is desired, press and hold the Input Selector Switch for one second or more. To exit the Input
Settings Window press the selected Input Selector Switch again or select another Input.
While in the Input Settings Window the selected input is displayed in the center of the screen. The
selected input will be soloed in the headphone monitor, although this can be disabled in the Setup
Menu option INPUT: PFL FUNCTION.
If the Input Selector/Solo Switch is held for 5 or more seconds "Hold" will appear on the screen
and the soloed input will remain in the headphone monitor until either another headphone moni-
tor mode has been selected with the Multi-Function Rotary Switch or with the Input Selector/
Solo Switch. Once the Input Selector Switch is pressed again, the 788T will return to the previously
displayed screen.
If the selected input is stereo linked, both of the inputs will be soloed in the headphone monitor.
