the analog line RJ-45 connectors on the rear panel. They
have only one adjustment.
• Input gain allows you to specify a gain from -64 to
+24 dB.
AES/EBU Inputs
AES/EBU digital inputs are on RJ-45 connectors.
The digital input is equipped with a sample rate con-
verter so a specific incoming sample rate or AES clock
is not required.
•
Input gain
allows you to specify a gain from -127.5
to 0 dB.
Be sure to click Apply after making changes in each
input section.
Now that the inputs have been tweaked for proper
system audio levels, we can manage that audio and auto-
matically associate logic with the different sources you
have connected to your QOR. We use a concept that we
call Profiles to do this.
What’s a Profile?
A Profile is a group of console parameters that are
stored in memory for instant recall. The use of Profiles
makes the operation of your RAQ or DESQ quick and
intuitive. In the RAQ/DESQ console’s design, there
are two types of profiles: Source Profiles and Show
Profiles . Show Profiles (discussed in detail in Chapter
3) contain all of the “snapshot” settings that would be
associated with a scene or preset. This terminology is
commonly used in the sound reinforcement or recording
studio industries.
Show Profiles
Our Show Profiles keep track of monitor bus set-
tings, fader channel assignments, jock preferences, fea-
ture lockouts and many other parameters.
You will use your web browser directed at the IP ad-
dress of the QOR to set up RAQ and DESQ options in-
cluding both types of profiles.
Source Profiles
One of the most repetitive and tedious parts of studio
building has always been tying “data” to audio sources.
Consider the wiring of analog line selector modules: you
needed a cable for the remote audio source, a set of wires
for a “start” closure, another set for “stop” — even with
TDM routers, an operation as seemingly simple as logic-
follows-audio often turns out to be not so simple.
Mix-minus and IFB generation has also been a prob-
lem in the past. Too often it’s a complicated process that
requires air talent to correctly determine source and bus
assignments at a moment’s notice. How many times has
unwanted audio been aired thanks to this error-prone
procedure?
The RAQ/DESQ eliminates these headaches by au-
tomatically merging audio, logic and program data into
a single, routable information stream.. Since audio in a
Livewire network is transported as packetized data, it’s
easy for us to “piggyback” other data along with the au-
dio. This association is accomplished through the use of
Source Profiles.
A Source Profile contains all of the parameters that
are unique to a specific audio input (source) as it applies
to a specific RAQ or DESQ console. Source Profiles can
assign modifiers to an audio input. Characteristics like
Pan, Trim and even Mix-Minus source selections can be
set in the Source Profile and automatically loaded when-
ever that source is assigned to a RAQ or DESQ fader.
The result of all this is that RAQ or DESQ is always
presented with complete, consistent information about
how you want a given audio input (source) to be handled.
Your board operator will never have to worry about Mix-
Minus again!
Source Configuration
The QOR web browser interface is used to configure
Sources. To get started:
• Open the web browser on your computer and point
it to the IP address you previously assigned to your
QOR.
• You’ll be prompted to enter a user name and password.
