Upper Tool Bar
The upper toolbar of WaveDesigner gives quick access to some of the
functionalities that are also present in the menu bar. These are New, Open, Save,
Print preview, Print, Undo and Redo.
Following this step is an Indicator showing if WaveDesigner is connected to a Wave
I processor. If connected, the dot is green, if not, red. The display changes
automatically if you connect or disconnect the network connection to the Processor.
The four Subsystem tabs enables you to view/hide the speakers of the associated
subsystem.
Upload:
On the right hand side of the upper tool bar is the Upload button. This is a very
important element of WaveDesigner. Pressing the upload button sends the defined
loudspeaker setup (positions, speaker properties, output assignment) to the Sonic
Wave I processor witch then calculates the renderings. After uploading, the
processor is restarting automatically and online parameters that may have been
loaded from a previous project are transferred to the processor (speaker
management, eq’s, delays, etc.).
Changing the speaker positions cannot be calculated real time! For each change,
the processor is restarting after parameter calculation. The process and success of
creating the filters is reported by a dialog.
Before the definition file is uploaded, several checks are done to prevent unexpected
behavior. If one of the following conditions fails, an error message is displayed:
•
Connection: There has to be a network connection to the processor.
•
Number of speakers: At least 2 speakers have to be present to enable 3D sound rendering.
There is also a maximum number of speakers that can be used with a Sonic Wave I
processor corresponding to its number of output channels (mostly 24 or 32).
•
All WFS main speakers have to be faced towards the Reference Point.
•
A Subsystem can only include either WFSmain or WFSsupport speakers.
•
Each index number can only be present once in the loudspeaker setup.
•
A physical output can only be used once.
