METERING SETUP
CalrecTFTmeters
The high resolution upstand TFT metering
can display fader input audio, bus output
audio as well as external meters that
display audio fed to chosen Hydra2 input
ports. As well as audio, upstand meters
can display dynamics' gain reduction.
Audio data for the TFT meters (and fader
bed bargraphs) is generated by DSP and
sent to the control surface via the Control
Processor to console Surface Switch link.
TFT metering is customisable
from the Main Application
>Show
Settings>Meter Layout
screen.
This screen shows one TFT meter panel
at a time, different panels can be selected
from the column on the left hand side
of the screen. Selecting
Grid
allows
the layout to be changed. Highlighting
a meter cell and selecting
Edit Meter
brings up a choice of meters that can be
displayed.
Set Scale provides a choice
of VU or PPM meter ballistics and scales.
Once happy with the meter setup, it is
transferred to the console by clicking
Apply new layout to surface
at the top
right of the screen. The meter layout can
also be saved as a Meter Layout Preset
for later use, note that the meter layout
is now saved with the show rather than a
seperate file. The Meter Presets can be
reloaded back into the layout screen and
applied to the surface when required.
Movingcoilandthirdpartymeters
Traditional PPM / VU moving coil meters
and 3rd party meters such as RTW / DK
surround scopes cannot access DSP
meter data and need to be fed audio
via the control surface rear interface.
If required, this audio can be fed from
Hydra2 output ports. This may be a
fixed feed, such as Main1 Line, patched
from the regular I/O page, or it can be
a changeable source, patched from
>System Settings>Fixed I/O
.
Under the sources>desk outputs group,
as well as monitor outputs, there are
also
External Meter Outputs.
Various
sources are available in this list, including
Mon LS Pre
which outputs / follows
the same audio as being monitored by
the Main LS but pre the LS listening level
control.
Also available are Meter selectors 1-4.
These are four selectors without level
controls accessible on the monitor panel
which have access to all the sources that
the monitor LS does but independent of
the LS selection.
Meter selector outputs can also be
displayed on Calrec TFT meters without
patching them to Hydra2 outputs.
