Truly a multi functional unit, the msi-3300 television audio processor offers analog and digital inputs and outputs. MSI 3300 is a "smart" processor, designed for broadcasting.

Setup is a snap and the 3300 offers superb, wide, dynamic gain riding and limiting at affordable prices.

The MSI-3300 Conditions audio for transmission in any medium:

• Cable modulators
• Satellite uplinks
• Fiber modulators
• STL’s and other microwave channels
• Aural transmitters
• Cable stereo generators
• Perceptional coders, such as MPEG and Dolby AC3 and E.
• Telco lines

• Behaves like a human operator

The built-in automatic gain riding feature enhances as well as reduces gain in your audio, depending upon the program content. During consistent programming, 3300 levels out the varying audio levels, during silence the 3300 freezes the gain, it can also sense dramatic fades and allows them and doesn't track slow fades into the noise floor. It's like having an additional audio operator.

• TV Program Material Varies

The varieties of audio are endless. In order to process them all, an operator has to continually switch the audio or you can use an MSI-3300 and it will do the job for you.

Selection:
Valid digital input is taken. Invalid or no digital input takes analog input. An internal jumper can force analog selection.

Frequency Response

Notes: The unit incorporates a 15.7kHz notch filter and BTSC system alias protection LPF. These filters are always present in both the analog and digital input paths

The same tolerance is met when the HFL is engaged along with the fixed output de-emphasis option, with control off. With control on, the input level must be reduced below the HFL theshhold, in which case the tolerance is also met.

With HFL engaged and no output de-emphasis, the 75usec pre-emphasis is accurate to a smaller tolerance (typically +/-0.2 dB), with control off or at level below HFL threshold.

(THD+noise): Either input to Digital output at -1dBFS <0.1%, 30Hz-14kHz
Either input to Analog output at +10dBu <0.1%, 30Hz-14kHz

Crosstalk: Analog inputs to either outputs >50dB, <10kHz
Digital inputs to either outputs >55dB, <10kHz

Output noise: Either inputs to Digital out -83dBFS
Either inputs to Analog out -72dBu
