77E.g., many cameras support simultaneous digital and analog audio output. In-camera processing candelay digital a/v output, resulting in analog audio output actually leading the digital output by ameaningful measure.13.8.2 PanFIGURE 80The Audio Configuration panel also provides Pan control. Pan is a very useful feature; it adjustsplacement of sound from source audio channels on the stereo channels comprising the audio mix(es).Using Pan, you can place all or part of channel 1 onto channel 2, and vice versa. When Pan is set to theextreme left position for channel 1, its audio is sent exclusively to the first channel for the Input 1 group.Centering the Pan knob labeled 1 splits the sound from Input 1 equally onto channels 1 and 2.Sliding Pan for channel 1 all the way to the right results in that source only being audible on channel 2,removing it completely from its original channel. Pan also modulates the sound levels on the left and rightchannels so that the overall volume neither rises nor drops as a result of adjustments.Hint: “Pan” is not the same as “Balance”. The balance control in a stereo system varies the relativelevel of the left and right channels, but sound from the left channel will never come out of the rightspeaker, or vice versa (Pan does permit this).13.8.3 ProcessingThe second tab in Audio Configuration is named Processing, and likewise holds very valuable features.EqualizerThe seven-band equalizer allows you to ‘shape’ sound to taste, accommodate sources with differentacoustic characteristics (say, mismatched mics), minimize feedback or roll off unwanted parts of the audiospectrum.Enable or disable the Equalizer using the switch beside the label above its control group. The verticalsliders attenuate or boost the tonal range centered on the frequency shown at the top.The effect applied falls off gradually as sound draws closer to neighboring frequencies on either side.Click Reset to return all sliders to 0 dB.Hint: Naturally, reducing or increasing the level of one or more tonal bands affects the overall outputlevel as well. This may call for you to trim the main level setting for the affected input or output.
