FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

Input Select & Set Up menu options.
3.1.2.1. Input Select.
On the display (4), open the available labels list, which has previously been
assigned to the channel by the system administrator from the console configuration
software. The format list may look like this:
The current option will be highlighted. You can scroll through the list the encoder
(6), and make your selection with OK. Any modifications made to the channel will
be applied to that input signal. The label selected (MAR4W1 in the example) will
then appear as the channel label on the display (17).
3.1.2.2. Phase L-R.
Phase of a stereo signal can be selected among four different states:
1.
L+R+:
L and R are in phase.
2.
L-R-:
both signals are inverted (180º) and in phase between themselves.
3.
L+R-:
R is phase inverted, so it is in opposition in relation to L that is still in
phase.
4.
L-R+:
L is phase inverted, so it is in opposition in relation to R that is still in
phase.
To select one of these options, you must press the middle button (5) and select the
type of phase desired using the “left” and “right” keys (5) or the rotary encoder (6).
The selection is validated by pressing the middle button or the encoder.
3.1.2.3. Mode.
Depending on the type of signal (mono or stereo), different signal routing modes
will be displayed. The selection procedure is the same as the one for the phase. If
the signal is mono, this option will not be available. If it is stereo, the mode may be
“Stereo”, “Mono L”, “Mono R” or “Mono L+R”.
In “Stereo” mode, the signal is sent to the output buses selected in the routing as
is, i.e., the L channel of the stereo input to the L channel of the stereo output, and
the R channel of the input to the R channel of the output. With “Mono L” or “Mono
R”, only the left or right part of the signal is sent equally to both parts of the stereo
output signal. Finally, with “Mono L+R”, the sum of both signals is sent to the left
and right in the output bus.
