Introduction

The SAM-Q-SDI Audio Monitor provides flexible, high quality audio monitoring in a compact 1RU design.

At just 100mm deep and less than 4kg, the SAM-Q-SDI is ideally suited for environments where space and

weight is a premium, such as OB Trucks and Flyaways.

Designed for ease of use, the SAM-Q-SDI Audio Monitor can be configured to best suit your workflow,

application, skillset or personal preference.

Up to 8 separate system configurations can be stored and recalled at any time, allowing the SAM-Q-SDI to

quickly and easily adapt to different tasks, shows, locations or the preferences of different users.

With its multiple modes of operation, the SAM-Q-SDI provides a common platform that can be deployed

throughout all parts of a facility and used by all members of staff.

With the addition of optional software licenses, SAM-Q-SDI functionality can be extended ‘in the field’ at

any time.

Deploying the SAM-Q-SDI

The SAM-Q-SDI includes several features not normally associated with rackmount audio monitors,

designed to help you achieve, maintain and protect your optimal system configuration.

Mode Permissions

The SAM-Q-SDI provides 10 Operational Modes to choose from, each of which offer a unique interface with

which to view, select, measure and monitor audio sources.

Each Operational Mode may be Enabled or Disabled within your system configuration, allowing the SAM-

Q-SDI to be optimally configured for a specific task, application, location or user skillset.

See pages 15 and 16 for an Overview of SAM-Q-SDI Operational Modes.

Mix Permissions

The SAM-Q-SDI is equipped with 8 independent Mix Groups, with each Mix Group comprising up to 16

audio channels of your choosing.

Each Mix Group can be Enabled or Disabled as required, providing users with quick access to much needed

audio channels, whilst unused or unwanted audio channels can be hidden from view.

See pages 43, 44, 45 and 46 for more information on Mix Permissions.

Front Panel Controls

The behaviour of SAM-Q-SDI front panel controls can be modified or disabled to help maximise speed of

operation whilst also helping to avoid operational error.

PIN Code Protection

Changes to the configuration of your SAM-Q-SDI require a PIN Code, helping to protect and secure your

optimal system configuration from unwanted or unintentional changes.

See page 76 for more information on the PIN Code

To provide the best user experience and optimal workflow, TSL recommends that the following be

considered before configuring your SAM-Q-SDI:

Who will be using the SAM-Q-SDI?

What is the task or application?

Answers to these questions will help determine which Modes and Mixes should be Enabled/Disabled,

along with the any necessary changes to the behaviour of the front panel controls.

* SDI Inputs can also be configured to receive MADI streams when the optional SAM-Q-MADI-LIC license is

installed (see page 74 for more information)

** Loudness data produced by the SAM-Q-SDI may be monitored over an Ethernet network when the

optional SAM-Q-LOUD-LIC license is installed (see pages 79, 82, 83 and 84)

SAM-Q-SDI General Operation

The SAM-Q-SDI has been designed to be both quick and easy to operate, regardless of which operational

mode(s) you choose to work with.

The four most frequent functions are described below:

•Selecting an Audio Source (buttons 4 through to 11)

•Selecting an Audio Mix Group (small rotary encoder 1)

•Adjusting the Output Volume (large rotary encoder 12)

•Selecting a Different Operational Mode (Function button 1 (2) and Function button 2 (3))

As you control the SAM-Q-SDI, pop-up messages on the front panel displays will confirm your choices and

adjustments
