Author Topic: Audio input for Smart Mod 6 Ian Bailey Master Film Handler Posts: 317 From: Nambucca Heads, Australia Registered: Jun 2003 posted 12-12-2006 07:00 AM                     Hi I think I know the answer to this question already.........buy a CSP1200!! Anyway I have a Smart Mod6 that has only one "Music"(non-sync) input and I want to run audio through it for the on-screen ads. I don't see how I can do it as it doesn't have an "External" input that most processors have. The audio will be coming from a PC.

Smart suggests using the projector 2 input for things like DVD players, etc., in the Mod 7a and 8 manuals. ?? quote: The PROJECTOR 2 input can be configured for use with a film projector or for use as an audio input from a video source such as a DVD, LaserDisk, or VCR. When used as an audio for video input, the left and right channels are processed through the Circle Surround matrix for multi-channel sound.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-13-2006 09:24 AM                     The mod 7 and 8 the projector2 input can be configured via a jumper for line level and bypass the NR The mod 6 is just 2 projector cell level inputs  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 12-13-2006 09:06 PM                       10-4 Gordon. Thanks. Have never seen a Mod 6, so I was taking a wild stab in the dark.  |  IP: Logged
