Each control surface requires that a
Broadcast Facilities panel is fitted in
the upstand.
This panel is 55mm [2.17'] wide and as
such is ideally fitted alongside a 3rd party
surround meter, or twin/quad moving coil
VU meters to take up the same width as a
standard panel.
The Broadcast Facilities panel provides
the following:
Resets
Three reset buttons along with an enable
button are located at the bottom of this
panel. As a safety precaution, to activate
a reset, the enable button must also be
pressed as well as the desired reset
button. The resets are split into three
areas -
• 'DSP' resets the audio signal
processing cards in the processing
core.
• 'Control' resets the Master Control
processors in the processing core.
• 'Surface' resets the control surface
panels.
Talkbackmic
A female XLR is provided to connect
the supplied goose-neck microphone.
This connects directly to an XLR on the
rear interface panel (no gain or power is
applied in the console). The microphone
can be connected into an external
talkback system, or the console's own
talkback system via a Hydra2 input.
Please refer to the console configuration
section for details on console talkback
setup.
USBport
The USB port on this panel connects
directly to a USB port on the console
PC, providing convenient access for
file transfer, such as memory backups.
The spare USB-Ethernet adaptor can also
be connected to this USB port to provide
a temporary second network connection
to the PC if the rear interface panel is not
as convenient to access.
Facilitiesbuttons/indicators
A large red button in the centre of the
panel illuminates to indicate when the
selected monitoring source is overruled by
an AFL or PFL. Pressing this button will
cancel any selected AFL or PFL, returning
the monitor to its selected source.
The 'Dark' button, when pressed turns
off all displays on the control surface and
illuminates to indicate the console is in
dark mode.
A System Status warning indicator flashes
to alert the user of any console errors,
pressing this button acknowledges the
errors and stops it flashing.
The on-air and rehearse buttons can be
used to set the mode of the desk and
disable functions such as tone.
Connections
Power and data is fed via an RJ45
labelled CTRL SYS, connected from a
POE switch panel port.
An RJ45 labelled RESET connects to
a POE switch RST port (which is then
daisy-chained through the rest of the POE
switches)
The front panel USB port connects inside
the panel to one of the ones on the rear
which is in turn connected to a USB port
on the system PC. The other USB on the
rear of this panel is unused.
The front panel XLR connects inside the
panel to the XLR on the rear which is in
turn connected inside the console chassis
to an XLR on the rear interface panel.
