THE PC CONTROL SOFTWARE (FM and ST versions)
ENG
Page 76
22.10 BI-DIRECTIONAL CONNECTION MODE
As explained earlier, this mode (available only on port 1 of the processor) allows both the real time display
and editing of all audio levels and current settings for all parameters used by the processor. Typical
application: setting the processor directly at the transmitting site, using a notebook computer, or remote
control from the broadcasting or control room, via serial cable.
Once the bidirectional connection has been established with the processor (see previous chapter), the
following basic screen will appear:
It has a window with a yellow-green background quite similar to that of the front panel of the processor. The
serial port of the computer being used and the current connection mode are indicated at the bottom of the
window.
The control software allows access to the same parameters and functions also available from the machine
control panel. Therefore, for any clarification regarding the nature and function thereof, see chapter 18.
-
The three buttons located alongside the display allow you to edit the processing curve: select the curve
from among the 40 available (also called Preset), using the two arrows, then confirm the choice using
the rectangular button in the middle.
- The
Edit * submenu contains all of the parameters and operations regarding setting a new processing
curve. To do so, select the preset to be changed or from which to begin from the ‘Get Preset’ window,
change the compressor threshold levels using the cursors for the five frequencies, and finally save the
curve (via the ‘Save’ function) in one of the 10 locations set aside for the user.
Note that whenever a preset is called up by means of the ‘Get Preset’ function, the characteristic
parameters of that curve (threshold values of the five compressors, level and type of Super bass, as well
as Density and Brilliance levels) are automatically displayed in the Edit window.
Note: to broadcast the edited curve, select it using the two arrows at the top of the screen (alongside the
display), then confirm by clicking on the rectangular button between the two arrows.
- The
Output submenu includes, depending on the processor version, the controls for the functions:
Output Level, Pre-emphasis, Noise Gate, Output Mode, Power Limiter
- The
Input submenu includes the controls for the functions: AGC Mode, AGC Speed and AGC Level
- The
MPX submenu includes the controls for the functions: Pilot Phase and Pilot Level
- The
PlugIn submenu includes the controls for the optional functions available: RDS Level and Phase,
Stereo Enhancer Effect Level – Effect Band and Effect Depth, Digital Input On or Off.
- The
RDS submenu includes the programming windows for the RDS functions
NOTE: In each menu, any changes to the parameters may be saved by clicking the button ‘ok’, while clicking
‘Cancel’ allows you to abandon the changes (or the submenu) without saving.
