D*AP4 VAP
7
Event Concept
The
D*AP4 VAP
incorporates a sophisticated event management system.
Events may be combined to perform actions. The
D*AP4 VAP
offers these event types:
*
Preset Events
for System set up, Interfaces, Routing, Audio Processing etc.
*
Parameter Events
to control specific parameters of the
VAP
*
Measurement Events
to control the loudness measurement
*
I/O Events
for GPOs
*
Bypass Events
for pre-configured bypass scenarios
These events may be combined with
Actions
which are fired by
Triggers.
Triggers are defined by a logical combination (AND, OR, XOR) of two random trigger sources.
A trigger source may be GPIs, hotkeys of the
X*AP RM
1
remote panel, network commands, parameters,
other active events, other active triggers (nested trigger), or device status information (e.g. sync lost).
Getting Started – quick start guide
Before the
D*AP4 VAP
can be used, there are some basic configuration steps which must be followed in the
order set out below. This example assumes you will process one physical condenser microphone and feed
the signal to your digital mixing desk that runs at 96kHz sampling rate.
* Connect the mic to the XLR CHA input of Interface 2
* Connect the XLR AES/EBU OUT connector to your digital desk
* Connect the BNC SYNC IN to the Word Clock output of your desk
* Hook up the device to your PC network
Consult your IT administrator for assistance if you are not sure about this procedure
- Connect it to a switch or hub or directly to a PC / LapTop by an Ethernet cable
(some PCs need a cross over cable when connected 1:1)
- Find an unused IP address - ask your administrator!
- Assign it that IP address and set the network mask accordingly, a gateway is optional
(see next page for details)
* Open a browser (Latest stable FireFox recommended) and connect with the device
- Type in the IP address as an URL
* Set the
sync source
- SYSTEM > Setup > Sync Source Priority >
Choice 1=Sync-In WCLK
leave all other
Choices x=OFF
(for the beginning)
- SYSTEM > Setup > System Clock > Sample Rate (kHz) =
Follow Source
* Define the program configuration
- SYSTEM > Setup >
Voice Channel Mode=2 x Mono
* Setup the microphone input
- INTERFACES > Analog Mic > M1 >
Input=Mic, Enable Preamp Gain=On (check box),
Preamp Gain=40dB, Pad=OFF, Phantom Power=On (check box)
* Set the routing to the Audio Processor (DSP)
- ROUTING > MIC >
MIC 1=DSP 1
* Set the routing from the Audio Processor (DSP)
- ROUTING > DSP >
DSP 1=AES 1
Now you should have the mic signal on your desk and you may start experimenting with the various
parameters of the audio processing blocks.
