25-Seven Program Delay Manager Version 2.3 Manual April 2013 9
Overkill™™ Mode
PDM also lets you dump incoming material by playing an internal audio file instead of
collapsing and rebuilding the delay. For example, a comedy show might want to cover
objectionable comments with a string of cartoon sound effects. The normal delay
doesn’t get depleted, and doesn’t have to be rebuilt. We call this
Overkill Mode .
••
The Controls Menu (page 22) selects whether PDM uses Normal or Overkill
mode when you press
DUMP
. You can change this setting as needed, for dif-
ferent program formats.
••
That menu also lets you select which audio file you’ve loaded into PDM to play
during Overkill.
••
PDM’s Dump Size and Delay Amount automatically adjust to the length of the
selected Overkill file: for example, if you want an 8-second delay, create an 8-
second file of replacement audio. After the file finishes playing, PDM’s output
switches back to delayed audio.
&
To dump a longer comment …
…tap the
DUMP
button again, while PDM is dumping. Each time you do, PDM will add
the preset Dump Size’s seconds to the current Dump event. (For example, if you’ve set
a Dump Size of 4 seconds, tapping
twice will dump 8 seconds.)
••
In Normal Dump Mode, PDM obviously can’t dump more seconds than it has
stored in its delay memory.
••
In Overkill Mode, each press of the
DUMP
button starts playing the Overkill
file from its beginning. You can create a “stutter” effect or longer dumps by
pressing the button multiple times.
PANIC MODE
If a guest continues to generate objectionable material, even after the delay is empty:
press
and hold the
DUMP
button. This mutes PDM’s output.
Panic mode works only when PDM is set to Normal dump mode. It isn’t needed for
Overkill mode, since the buffer doesn’t get depleted.
If talent wants to talk privately with the producer or guest …
…press and hold the blue
COUGH
button. While you’re holding it down, PDM will con-
tinue to send delayed audio to the transmitter. But it won’t store any new audio coming
