Adjusting the Delay
The delay in the Deva provides a way to monitor various input sources that may come into the Deva at slightly
different times. For example, wireless microphones typically require 0 to 8 ms of delay to avoid phasing associated
with mixing wired and wireless sources to a common mix track. The delay does not affect the input signals actual
timecode; it simply allows the signal to align with other sources mixed with it. Both analog and digital inputs can
have a delay added to them.
There are two ways to adjust the delay on channels. If you have multiple inputs, the
