The Muted Output is intended to feed any other room which that contains microphones connected to the console.
If it is desirable to feed all studios from a common amplifier, this amplifier should be fed from the Unmuted Monitor Out-
put. External relays driven by the muting contacts on header J7 could then be used to provide the necessary muting
of the signal.
4.2 Digital Output Board
The digital (upper) circuit board provides the following console functions:
System clocks and crystal
Digital mixing
System processor and non-volatile memories
RS-232 system interface
Parallel audio bus interface
Digital line outputs
Digital utility bus outputs
Analog utility bus outputs
8 position switcher logic processing and interface
Power supply I/O
4.2.1 Digital Program Outputs
All program outputs are simultaneously available in Analog format (on the lower Analog output board ) and digital for-
mat on the digital output board connectors J6, J14, J22, J27. See illustration O-1 and O-2 for connector locations.
Digital output levels for the PROGRAM.1, PROGRAM.2 and PROGRAM.3
buses can be set in console software in .1 dB steps to a maximum of +4 dB
out. Consult the “Output Level” page in the “Software” section of this manual for
more information.
4.2.2 Digital Utility Outputs
Utility bus outputs are simultaneously available in digital format on the digital output board on connectors J5, J13, J21,
J26, and in Analog format on the digital output board on connectors J29, J34, J37, J40. See illustration O1 and O2 for
connector locations.
Analog outputs are factory calibrated and set identically to the main output buses (see section 4.5.1 for details.)
When using utility outputs as STEREO pairs, outputs 1/6, 2/7, 3/8, 4/9, 5/10 must be used as left/right pairs, because
this is how the outputs appear on the output connectors.
Analog and digital output levels for the 10 Utility buses can be set in con-
sole software in .1 dB steps to a maximum of +4 dB out. Buses can also be
configured to provide a main and alternate mix of any combination of input
channels, pre or post channel fader or on/off switch. Consult the “Output Buses” and “Utility
Buses” pages in the “Software” section of this manual for more information.
4.2.3 RS-232 Connectivity
RJ-45 connectors J20 and J15 provide main and auxiliary RS-232 connectivity for console serial (software) control. See
illustration O1 and O2 for connector locations.
Consult the “Communications” page in the “Software” section of this manual for main/aux serial port assignment.
Consult the “Serial Comm Port” page in the “Software” section of this manual for PC comm. port assignment.
