below, a Universal input module is shown, which
is the only module that has anything set in this
pane. To view this pane, click on the module name.
Checkmark either the
A Input is routed box or
the
B Input is routed box to set that input as a
routed source. The opposite input should be left
unchecked to allow the local source to be selected.
Selecting both inputs as routed does no harm, but
since there is only one signal that can be routed to
a Universal input module, it is not useful.
The following parameters are edited in
the Signal Summary pane:
In Room and Community Names, Description
The In Room Name identifies the signal in
the module source selectors using up to nine
alphanumeric characters.
The Community Name is a four-character
name to identify the signal on other commu-
nity members’ console or edge device source
selectors. It follows the Call Group prefix (which
is set in the console pane) and the Name Radix
(set in the community pane).
The description helps to identify the signal to
other VMCC users.
To enter the signal names and definitions,
click on the In Room Name, Community Name
or Description and edit them as required. If too
many characters are entered or if an illegal char-
acter is entered, a red exclamation point and
error warning box will be shown so the error
can be corrected.
Signal Format (Stereo or Mono)
All AMP MOD IV audio connectors on the
BMX
d carry two signals. By default, each is set
as a stereo connection, with the left signal be-
ing assigned an odd signal number and the right
signal being assigned the next even signal num-
ber. This ensures the two signals are treated as
one source or destination for proper phase, tim-
ing and routing of the two signals.
This stereo relationship is set by a check mark
in the column
Link w/Next. The check mark
sets the signal as stereo linked with the next
signal. Typically this is only done on the odd-
numbered signals so that a stereo signal is on
one connector.
To change a stereo signal into a pair of mono
signals, remove the check mark in the
Link w/
Next column by double-clicking on it. The two
signals will now be treated as two separate
mono signals. When a mono signal is routed to
a module, it automatically appears on both the
left and right outputs of the module.
Hidden Signals
Each console has many signals that are set
as Hidden. These include each stereo signal’s
right channel (which is hidden so that only the
left channel name shows up in source selectors)
and all of the internal console-only signals (sev-
eral mix-minus primitive and talkback signals).
A Hidden signal has a check mark in the
Hid-
den column to indicate it is not available to add
to any signal include list. For most installations,
the default settings for Hidden will work fine.
To change the Hidden status, doubleclick on
the check mark to remove it, or doubleclick in
the empty box to add a check mark.
