AUDIO METER (VU METER)

The Audio Meter displays at the bottom-left corner of the viewfinder, and displays either the incoming audio
channels (default), or the outgoing audio (Cam Mix, Rear Mix, and Monitor Mix). For more information, go to
"VU Meter Source" on page 72.
INCOMING AUDIO CHANNELS
When you select Input as the VU Meter Source, the Audio Meter displays the incoming audio channels (default).
For more information, go to "VU Meter Source" on page 72. Channel 1 and Channel 2 are the default
channels, correlating with the MIC-1 and MIC-2 inputs on the DSMC BRAIN. Channel 3 and Channel 4 are
grayed out unless the DSMC detects audio input via the Pro I/O Module.
The channel names selected in the Audio menu determine the channel names displayed in the Audio Meter. For
more information, go to "Channel Name" on page 135.
The Audio Meter shows the incoming audio signal when a source is selected, even if the channel is not
recorded. When a channel is recorded, the channel indicator left of the Audio Meter is green.
OUTGOING AUDIO
When you select Output as the VU Meter Source, the Audio Meter displays the Cam Mix, Rear Mix, and Monitor
Mix levels. For more information, go to "VU Meter Source" on page 72.
When recording to an external device, use the Output levels to help accurately monitor recorded audio.
