momentarily. This example is only possible with Pathfin-

derPC control of VMIX.

PathfinderPC Control of VMIX

PathfinderPC server can be used to “control” VMIX.

How? There are two modes by which PathfinderPC can

control VMIX.

First, as a background controller, PathfinderPC can

monitor Livewire system parameters or receive com-

mands from external devices like satellites, button pan-

els, or automation systems and react to them by chang-

ing the state of VMIX

ON/OFF

, and/

fields. This provides many different

possibilities for facility automation, Intercom functions,

or whatever else you might imagine. For example, the

combo of PathfinderPC and VMIX could duplicate the

function provided by other products that are controlling

audio switching in many radio facilities. Refer to docu-

mentation on PathfinderPC for further information.

Secondly, an exciting new feature of PathfinderPC is

VMIX Control. This is a software fader control option

that is provided with PathfinderPC Pro. VMIX Control

brings the operation of VMIX out of the background and

provides a graphical user interface with software faders.

Figure 7-2 shows an example of a VMIX control GUI.

Figure 7-2: PathfinderPC VMIX Control

VMIX Control enhances VMIX by providing real-

time, foreground control of VMIXer parameters. It also

allows us to monitor levels of streams associated with

VMIX faders. VMIX Control is often used in applica-

tions such as a news workstation where you require only

a few inputs.

About PathfinderPC and VMIX: There

are several ways that PathfinderPC can be

used for background control VMIX.

First, VMIX functions can be used both as quali-

fiers and actions in stack events. This means

that a designer can select GPIO triggers, time

based events, user button pushes, serial port

commands, and other options and combinations

of options to decide when to make changes to

any fader in a VMIXER. The user can make a

gain change based on these events, turn a

channel off or on, and or adjust the fade times,

giving complete control over the VMIXer based

on any of the stacking events qualifiers.

Second, PathfinderPC provides an ACU protocol

translator which uses the VMIX system to mimic

hardware devices such as a Sine Systems ACU

to a Prophet Automation System. In this way, a

Prophet system can control the mixing capabili-

ties of VMIX just as if they were ACU channels.

In this scenario, each VMIX submixer becomes

one 5 Channel ACU. GPIO hardware devices

can also be mapped to the Channels within

PathfinderPC and it will allow those triggers to

pass through to Prophet if the associated audio

channels are turned on just like the ACU. The

PathfinderPC suite also includes a Bridge ap-

plication that may be run on the Prophet sys-

tem to convert the serial data to TCP, which can

then be passed to multiple “clustered” Path-

finderPC servers for redundancy.

Finally, PathfinderPC’s Software Authority pro-

tocol translator includes commands to control

any VMIXer present on Element consoles in the

system; any machine that can send user defined

serial or TCP commands can also control and read

VMIX functions through PathfinderPC.

Using these techniques VMIX can be used as a

fully automated virtual mixer in the background

of each Element. (See the PathfinderPC manual

for the specific details on configuring Pathfind-

erPC with VMIX.)

Manipulating Streams With VMODE

What does VMODE do?

As you know, audio processing in the modern world

requires DSP. The StudioEngine provides the DSP for

Axia IP-Audio networks.

You’ve probably noticed that nearly all audio within

an Axia network travels as stereo Livewire streams. Au-

dio Node inputs (with the exception of Mic Nodes) are
