Looking for audio specifications
Posted: Mon Sep 24, 2012 1:43 pm
I recently purchased several BM devices to be used in a small, corporate production environment. Among the items I am integrating are the DeckLink HD Extreme 3D, Intensity Pro, Intensity Shuttle and an UltraStudio Pro. All of these devices will be used with Windows based computers and Premiere CS5. Despite looking through the BM website, I have been unable to find comprehensive specifications regarding signal levels (input and output) for both audio and video.
For the moment, I'm specifically interested in the analog audio outputs of the UltraStudio Pro. After preliminary installation, it would appear the USPro is configured to a high-impedance, +4 level (or thereabouts) which makes sense since it seems to be designed to mate with a broadcast video recorder. In my case however, I would like to monitor the audio output through an analog mixer. After connecting the USPro and making attenuation adjustments in the BM control Panel, I noticed the audio is incredibly "hot". I had to add a level matching interface between the USPro and the audio mixer to pad the signal. So although I have a working configuration, I would like to know the specific I/O specifications.
I've read through the USPro production information and searched the support area but have yet to find any particulars. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
