6 Configuring the
X.8
An
X.8
can be extensively configured on the device's front panel or on your PC. While the
X.8
GUI shows you all setting options and status displays, gain settings can be done on the
front panel and some of the operating states are displayed there.
Gain changes can be made at the same time on the front operating panel of the
X.8
and in
the
X.8
GUI. The gain settings are displayed simultaneously on both.
All settings, no matter whether you have activated them in the
X.8
GUI or on the front
operating panel, are always saved on the
X.8
device. As such, an
X.8
always starts with the
last settings when you switch it on.
6.1 Entering settings in the
X.8
GUI
The
X.8
GUI is set up like a typical graphic user interface for controlling external sound
cards. It consists of the following elements:
·
Settings for input and output gains with slide controls for individual channels and the
corresponding level displays.
·
A number of individual configuration switches.
·
A menu with additional functions.
·
A status display along the bottom shows information on the GUI version and the
X.8
service as well as on the hardware and firmware of any device connected.
On the left-hand side there is a drop-down list in which the
X.8
devices available in the
network are shown. As soon as the
X.8
GUI or the
X.8
service working in the background is
connected to an
X.8
, the levels of the input and output channels as well as all device
configurations are displayed in real time.
The slide control, which can be used to set the input and output amplification on every
channel individually, is on the right-hand side. On the slide controls for the two analog output
channels, you can use the
Mute
button to mute both channels simultaneously.
Above each of the slide controls for the input channels, there are two switch elements - one
ON/OFF switch for the phantom power supply and one switch for configuring the respective
channel as a Line or Mic channel.
The
SPDIF In 7/8
button is located above the last pair of channels. As soon as this is activated,
channels 7 and 8 instead of the last two Line-In channels are occupied by the two S/PDIF
input channels.
