Blackmagic Audio Monitor
WARNING
Installation requires removing the lid of the Blackmagic Audio Monitor chassis to access the motherboard
and should only be performed by qualified individuals. Precautions should be taken to reduce the risk of
electrostatic discharge while installing the module.
Installing the Module
By installing a Blackmagic Dolby decoder module you can monitor Dolby Digital or Dolby E audio used
in modern film and television productions. Dolby 5.1 surround sound is encoded with front left and right
channels, rear surround left and right channels, a center channel, plus one channel for low bass frequencies.
The Dolby decoder is a 72 pin SIMM module that is easily installed into the empty SIMM slot on Blackmagic
Audio Monitor's motherboard.
To install the Blackmagic Dolby decoder module:
Step 1. Ensure Blackmagic Audio Monitor's power is unplugged.
Step 2. Unscrew all Blackmagic Audio Monitor's 21 lid screws using a Phillips head screwdriver.
Remove the lid.
Step 3. Hold the Blackmagic Dolby decoder module with its contacts facing the empty SIMM slot.
The SIMM's keyway needs to be aligned with the slot key or the SIMM will not seat.
Step 4. Gently insert the module into the SIMM slot until the contacts are firmly seated.
Step 5. Lean the module towards the rear of Blackmagic Audio Monitor until the metal clips fasten to
each side of the module.
Step 6. Replace Blackmagic Audio Monitor's lid and screw in the 21 lid screws.
After installing the Blackmagic Dolby decoder module, place the supplied Dolby sticker on Blackmagic
Audio Monitor's back panel near the warning label so you can easily see the Dolby module has
been installed.
Confirming Dolby Audio
When Dolby encoded audio is detected by Blackmagic Audio Monitor the Dolby logo will appear on the
top right corner of the control panel LCD. You can monitor 4 pairs of Dolby surround channels by pressing
the control panel channel up and down buttons.
