Operational Specification 6
Configuration
The normal configuration is done via a webserver on the Mix Engine. This
will allow the user to define everything about the Mix Engine, its Virtual
Mixers and the Remote Units connected to it, with the following settings:
• Network Settings.
• Connectivity.
* Number of Virtual Mixers and their associated ID.
* Incoming audio channels by connector and port.
* Outgoing audio channels by connector and port.
* Selected AoIP input channels.
* Creation of outgoing AoIP output sources.
• Naming.
* The unit itself with ID number.
* The Virtual Mixers.
* The analogue input sources.
* The AoIP sources if the Ravenna name is not sufficiently informative.
• Virtual Mixer Setups by Number (1-8).
* The 4 input sources used.
* Output routing.
* GPIO port setup.
* Controls enabled/disabled at individual control level.
* Sharing settings for other Presenter and Technician Units.
• GPIO Interconnection Map.
• Unit Parameters.
* MPPR headphone attenuation x 2
* LED brightness settings
• System Parameters.
* Button actions and timeout for metering/level on remote level
controls.
* Headphone attenuation settings.
* Authorisation and its requirements.
System Parameters should be the same for all Mix Engines, so changing the
setting on one Mix Engine will cause the parameters on all Mix Engines to
be altered, and as new Mix Engines are connected to the system, they will
fetch the current settings from an active Mix Engine. Equally as new MPPRs
and MPTRs are connected they will fetch the appropriate info from their
connected Mix Engine and update global parameter values used by them.
The webserver pages will also allow firmware updating of local and remote
units either on connection or on webpage command.
Finally, there will be 2 configuration file options.
1. To save and recall the complete setup, as above, to or from local
memory on a PC. This is so that if a Mix Engine unit is replaced, we
can immediately upload the settings to a new unit which should
include the network settings.
2. A partial load for system wide parameters to ensure that changes can
be uploaded from other Mix Engine units within an installed system,
but without changing the local network settings.
