AUTOMATION OPTION
Spill Automation
The Calrec Automation System also
allows the user to access, automate and
edit individual ‘Spill Legs’ for Stereo and
Multichannel Paths for all the parameters
listed in the Automatable Controls List.
Editing Suite
The user can utilise the special on-screen
editor, which displays the automation
“events” which were made in real time,
and lets the user edit the effect and
the timing of each event. When used in
conjunction with the console controls, this
comprehensive set of editing tools make
automating a mix-down or re-purposing
the material for quick turnaround a simple
process.
Redundancy
Like other Calrec Products the Calrec
Automation system offers a redundancy
mechanism, in this case between the
Automation system and the Primary and
Secondary control processors on the
Calrec console, to ensure that recording
continues in the event of a control
processor failure.
External Machine Control
The Calrec Automation System Controller
provides a number of external interfaces
to connect with 3rd Party equipment,
including 9-Pin RS422 used for Machine
Control and a Video Sync reference to
ensure that the Automation data is truly
locked to the External Media.
The 9-Pin may be used directly with
a single machine or via a 3rd Party
synchroniser to provide multi machine
control.
If you require this option, please
contact your regional Calrec
distributor. Customers within the
UK or Ireland should contact Calrec
directly.

From V7.0 Apollo and Artemis have
Dynamic Automation available as
an option. The Calrec Automation
system is designed to record,
playback and edit the movements of
console controls in real time.
The Calrec Automation System is supplied
as a 3RU controller, which communicates
using two ethernet ports connected to
the Primary and Secondary Control cards
of the console, to provide a redundant
Automation interface.
Real Time Automation operates while
timecode is running, and allows the user
to record control adjustments made while
listening to the audio. Note that this
depends on the presence of timecode,
the user must ensure that it is properly
synchronised with the recording and/or
sequencing units, before automation can
be used.
An important aspect of this automation
system is to be “user transparent” as far
as possible during a Show or ‘On-Air’
live broadcast production, whilst the
automation “first pass” is being recorded.
This is achieved by hiding the Automation
controls from the user with a single button
once the show is underway, the system
records console control adjustments in
the background leaving the user free to
concentrate on the production.
Once the “first pass” is made and the
Show or ‘On-Air’ live broadcast complete,
the user can access the Automation with
a single button and all the automation
controls are made visible on the console
surface.
The user can then locate to any part of the
Show or Broadcast, replay the recording
and make control adjustments to the
audio using exactly the same controls on
the console surface or alternatively save
the Show’s console setup, Automation
data and Audio recording for Post
Production purposes at a later date.
