CONTROL AUDIO MIX (CAM MIX, REAR MIX, AND MONITOR MIX)
The DSMC features a digital audio mixer that controls the volume and stereo settings for each input channel.
The mixer affects audio monitoring (such as headphones) and audio recorded to external devices. The mixer
DOES NOT affect audio embedded in the R3D file.
The range for each channel is 0% to 100%. The default for each active channel is 100%. Channel 3 and Channel
4 are active only when there is audio input via the Pro I/O Module.
The digital mixer normalizes each output to prevent the output from exceeding the signal range. For example, if
you pass Channel 1 to an output at 100%, and then mix Channel 2 into the same output, the level of Channel
1 decreases to 50%.
Assign each audio channel to the Left, Middle, or Right side of the stereo mix. Move the sliders up and down
to adjust the volume.
You can control the volume and stereo for each audio monitoring option:
 Cam Mix (Camera Mix): Headphones plugged into the DSMC BRAIN.
 Rear Mix: Line out plugged into the Pro I/O Module. The input gain is fixed.
 Monitor Mix: External HDMI and HD-SDI monitors that support audio.

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" on page 75.

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" on page 75. 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 140.
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.
