Notice
1. Factory default for 4-pin DIP: OFF-OFF-OFF-OFF [ª-ª-ª-ª]
2. The AT-3GSDI-HD mainly checks the audio channel in audio group 1&2 or 3&4. Please
adjust DIP switch pin-3 beneath the model for setup.
3. Some HDMI enabled TV may not be able to decipher multiple channel audio. If so, please
set the DIP switch pin-1 to ON(©) first to check if the audio output is normal then check if
the multiple audio channel support is available.
4. AT-3GSDI-HD support audio sample frequency at 48kHz only.
5. When the stereo audio mode is chosen, either Channel 1 & Channel 2 of audio group 1 or
audio group3 are the audio output.
