Panel Layouts

1. Input Signal Indicators–

A set of five indicators show

“Sig”

“-12”

“0dBu”

“+6”

and

“+12”

for each of the DSP inputs

“A” “B”

“C” “D”

. The signal present Indicators operate at approximately –40 dBu, giving a useful indication of even relatively low input

signal levels. The

“0dBu”

indicators are intended to show nominal operating level and can also be useful for setting system

gain structure.

2. Menu Buttons–

There are three buttons to determine which section of the device to view or edit. The

<OUTPUT>

button

displays pages of parameters associated with a particular output channel. The

<INPUT>

button displays pages of parameters

associated with a particular input socket or input DSP channel. Pressing

<INPUT>

<OUTPUT>

buttons repeatedly will scroll

through the inputs/outputs of the processor. After the last channel, navigation returns to the Home screen. The

<UTILITY>

button

    displays pages of miscellaneous parameters not associated with any particular channel. Whilst in Edit mode, one of these three
    buttons will be illuminated. They are mutually exclusive – pressing one of the buttons will deselect any others that are active.
    Pressing Utils will escape back to the Home screen.

3. Page Selection Buttons–

When one of the buttons

<INPUT>

<OUTPUT>

<UTILITY>

is illuminated, the up <



> and

down <



> arrows will also illuminate, informing the user that these buttons may be used to scroll through the various pages of

parameters that may be viewed and edited. The

<ENTER>

button is used to confirm an operation. It will illuminate when the user

is being invited to press it. It will flash when warning the user that pressing this button will activate an important function.

4. Graphical Display–

When the device is switched on, it will show the Home screen. This provides a useful overview of channel

    allocation and Drive Module presets. The screen contrast can be changed by pressing the <UTILITY> button to navigate to “Screen”
    and using encoder “A” will change the percentage; this can also optimise the viewing angle. In most pages the currently selected
    channel and parameter information is displayed on the upper part of the screen and the parameter value on the lower part
    of the screen.

5. Status Indicators–

The

“OVERLAY”

indicator is not currently used. The

<DANTE AUDIO>

indicator illuminates when

one or more of the inputs is using a dante source. The

“ONLINE”

indicator has three states:

Off

– the unit is offline and not

connected to a computer or network.

Flashing

– the unit is searching for an IP address; if the unit does not find an IP address the

unit will assign itself an IP address automatically and the indicator will stop flashing.

– the unit is online and connected with

software. IP settings can be viewed or changed within the

<UTILITY>

pages.

6. Selection Indicators–

Each page that is visited when navigating will usually show either one, two or three parameters labelled

“A”

“B”

and

“C”

, each of which can be edited by turning the Encoder associated with that parameter also labelled

“A”

“B”

and

“C”

7. Parameter Encoders–

Three velocity sensitive parameter encoders are used to adjust parameters shown on the display. Up to

three parameters at a time are displayed on the screen. The parameter name is shown above the parameter value in each of
the three screen sections.

8. AES3 Active Indicators–

The

“AES3”

active indicators show when the AES3 input/output is active for that pair of channels.

AES3 transmits two channels on one XLR cable. Channels 1 and 2 will be carried on connector 1; channels 3 and 4 will be carried
on connector 3 and so on.

9. Mute Buttons–

DSP output mute status is indicated and controlled by and illuminated button for each channel.

These flash when the entire unit is muted from the AUX port or from Mute-All.

10. Limiter Indicators–

The output indicators shows the status of the limiter and output level relative to the limiter threshold.

The

<SIG>

indicator shows signal presence and will illuminate when a signal is present in the output. The second indicator

<-6dB>

shows that the signal has reached 6dB below the limiter threshold. The third

<LIMIT>

indicator indicates that the

threshold of that output channel has been reached. The fourth

<+6>

indicates a signal 6dB higher than the limiter threshold.

11. Input Clip/Mute Indicators–

Warn the user of input overload and operate at 1dB before clip. The

“CLIP”

Indicator will only come

on when all other signal lights are illuminated. This indicator also shows a muted input state, and will remain illuminated at all times
whilst mute is active. Input mute is turned on/off in the

<INPUT>

gain page.
