C
Continuous Memory
A continually updated memory that stores the state of the system. In the event of a restart after power loss or reset, the
system can reload the continuous memory and continue from almost the same state prior to power loss.
Control Cell
A collection of controls consisting of a display, a rotary control and a button in the top of the rotary control.
Control Processor
The control processor module acts as the main controller of the Brio 36 system, passing messages between all modules
in the surface. It also handles DSP processing and Routing
CSCP (Calrec Serial Control Protocol)
CSCP allows for remote control over mixing console operational functions by 3rd party systems such as video switchers
and production automation systems.
D
DAC (Digital to Analogue Conversion)
The reverse of ADC. The digital representation of a signal is converted back into a continuous analogue signal.
Direct Output
Output from a channel or group path with level control and pre EQ / pre fader / post fader selection.
Downmix
The process of converting a signal of a given width into a signal of a smaller width allowing fixed or variable amounts of
each of the contributing legs to be included. For example, a downmix must be applied to a 5.1 surround signal for it to be
correctly translated into a stereo format.
Without a downmix, surround, LFE or centre information may be lost and levels may become unbalanced.
DSP
Digital Signal Processing. Discrete mathematical operations applied to a stream of digital audio signals.
E
Ember
The Ember protocol is a sophisticated data exchange mechanism that has potential for remote control of many functions
across varied equipment types.
F
Fader
Faders are located on surface fader panels. Channels, Mains, Groups and Auxes can all be attached to faders allowing
for control over level and access. Faders are also used to control VCA groups.
Foldback
An audio mix sent to a presenter or artist. Applications include enabling them to hear their own input or communications.
