It serves admirably as a ‘confidence monitor,’ and includes alarms to indicate transmission problems. At the same time it can deliver a high-quality audio feed for program distribution throughout the broadcast facility.
The INOmini 674 is easily programmed to tune the western-hemisphere broadcast band with 10kHz channel spacing, or the European-standard 9kHz-spaced band. It provides adjustable balanced analog and AES digital audio outputs along with local alarm ‘tallies.’
Balanced Analog (XLR) Left and Right (dual-mono) outputs are adjustable from -15dBu to +15dBu in 0.2dB steps.
AES Digital (XLR) output at 44.1kHz is adjustable from –30dBFS to 0dBFS in 0.2dB steps.
Headphone Jack (3.5mm TRS) has adjustable listening level.
Front-Panel Red-Flashing Alarms
Audio Loss: Alarm threshold is adjustable between 0dB and –30dB, and the alarm delay interval is adjustable between OFF and 120 seconds.
Low Signal: Alarm and reset trigger levels are independently adjustable relative to the RF signal level display.
Alarm “Tallies”: Individual open-collector NPN transistor outputs to ground are programmable for logic polarity.
USB Port
The front-panel mini-USB port allows the quick uploading of firmware updates when issued.
Power Requirement
12VDC at 275mA; a universal 90 - 240 VAC inline switching power supply is included with the INOmini 674 receiver.
Mounting Options
An optional rack adapter accepts up to three INOmini modules in a 1U, 19-inch rack space. The 674 also may easily be fastened to any convenient surface with two small screws.
