ENCODER ACTIVE .
This switch changes the Main output signal from the console to the Encoder
output of an externally connected Encoder. The Surround left/Right signal will
be mono summed .
2.5 CRM CONTROL ROOM MONITOR.
The large CRM knob controls the total of 6 outgoing levels to the control room
monitor power amps. This encoder controls all
six tracks with a superb tracking and level
repeatability. Attenuation of the CRM is always
shown in the LC display in the first level of the
menu. It ranges from 0dB down to -63dB in
0.5dB steps and then it mutes the CRM
completely. The Cinemix has three CRM
systems intended for alternative stereo nearfield
monitors which are switchable via the CRM 2,
and 3 switches. Each alternate speaker system
have their own ground compensated balanced
XLR output for easy interchange of nearfields by
free lance engineers. The main CRM output
together with the Center Stereo Surround, and
Subbass output are on a 25 pole sub D
connector. Also fitted on the back of the master
section are the sub D connectors for the
encoding and decoding surround processors.
MONO
The mono switch lets you check mono
compatability.The Mono switch allows the user
to check for any out-of-phase signals or simply
monitoring your mix in mono.
DIM
The dim switch temporarily dims Cinemix's CRM
level by a pre programmable amount of
attenuation. This dimming circuitry is also driven
by the oscillator circuitry as well as the Talkback
circuitry. The LC Display shows the amount of
dimming when activated.
PRESET 1/2
These switches lets you determine a fixed CRM
level, programmable in the automation. In this way it is always possible to return
to a reference level of surround monitoring. By turning the CRM control to a
desired level and pushing the Preset 1 or 2 for about 7 seconds the present
attenuation level is stored. The preset led will lit, when storage is active.
Two fixed levels can be set in this way.
