Menu Buttons-
There are three buttons to determine which section of the device to view or edit. The <
OUTPUT
>
button displays pages of parameters associated with a particular output channel. The <
INPUT
> button displays pages of
parameters associated with a particular input socket or input DSP channel. Pressing <
INPUT
> or <
OUTPUT
> buttons
repeatedly will scroll through the inputs/outputs of the processor. After the last channel, navigation returns to the
Home screen. The <
UTILITY
> button displays pages of miscellaneous parameters not associated with any particular
channel. Whilst in Edit mode, one of these three buttons will be illuminated. They are mutually exclusive
–
pressing one
of the buttons will deselect any others that are active. Pressing Utility will escape back to the Home screen.
Page Selection Buttons-
When one of the buttons <
INPUT
>, <
OUTPUT
> or <
UTILITY
> is illuminated, the up <
> and
down <
> arrows will also illuminate, informing the user that these buttons may be used to scroll through the various
pages of parameters that may be viewed and edited. The <
ENTER
> button is used to confirm an operation such as
storing or recalling a preset or snapshot. It will illuminate when the user is being invited to press it. It will flash when
warning the user that pressing this button will activate an important function.
Input Signal Indicators-
A set of five indicators show
“
Sig
”, “
-12
”, “
0dBu
”, “
+6
” and “
+12
” for each of the DSP inputs
“
A
” “
B
” “
C
” “
D
”. The signal present Indicators operate at approximately –
40 dBu, giving a useful indication of even
relatively low input signal levels. The “
0dBu
” indicators are intended to show nominal operating level and can also be
useful for setting system gain structure.
Input Clip/mute Indicators
- warn the user of input overload and operate at 1dB before clip
. The “
CLIP
” Indicator will
only come on when all other signal lights are illuminated. This indicator also shows a muted input state, and will remain
illuminated at all times whilst mute is active. Input mute is turned on/off in the
<INPUT>
gain page. This indicator will
also flash regularly if a Module Group has muted this channel.
Graphical Display-
When the device is switched on, it will show the Home screen. This provides a useful overview of
channel allocation and Drive Module presets. The screen contrast can be changed by pressing the <
UTILITY
> button to
navigate to “Screen” and using encoder “
A
” will change the percentage; this can also optimise th
e viewing angle. In
most pages the currently selected channel and parameter information is displayed on the upper part of the screen and
the parameter value on the lower part of the screen.
Status Indicators
-
The “
OVERLAY
” indicator shows when there are
parameters active on a group layer, which the user
cannot access through the front panel of the device (see
Overlay Flush
).
The “
NETAUDIO
” indicator
shows that a
networked digital audio card is installed and routed (Such as
Dante™). The “
ONLINE
” indicator has three states: Off –
the unit is offline and not connected to a computer or network. Flashing- the unit is searching for an IP address; if the
unit does not find an IP address the unit will assign itself an IP address automatically and the indicator will stop
flashing. On- the unit is online and connected with software. IP settings can be viewed or changed within the <
UTILITY>
pages.
Parameter Encoders-
Three velocity sensitive parameter encoders are used to adjust parameters shown on the
display. Up to three parameters at a time are displayed on the screen. The parameter name is shown above the
parameter value in each of the three screen sections.
AES3 Active Indicators-
The “
AES3
” active indicators show
when the AES3 input/output is active for that pair of
channels. AES3 transmits two channels on one XLR cable. Channels 1 and 2 will be carried on connector 1; channels 3
and 4 will be carried on connector 3 and so on.
Mute Buttons-
DSP output mute status is indicated and controlled by an illuminated button for each channel. These
buttons flash when the entire unit is muted from the AUX port or from System Engineer Mute-All.
Limiter Indicators-
The output indicators show the status of the limiter and output level. The <
SIG
> indicator shows
signal presence and will illuminate when a signal is present in the output. The second indicator <
-6dB
> shows that the
signal has reached 6dB below the limiter threshold. The third <
LIMIT
> indicator indicates that the threshold of that
output channel has been reached. The fourth <
+6
> indicates a signal 6dB higher than the limiter threshold. The <
+6dB
>
indicator also refers to the excursion limiter and will illuminate when the threshold of the excursion limiter has been
exceeded. The <
˚C
> indicator shows that the thermal limiter is active, protecting against long term thermal stress.
Please note that because of the long release time of the thermal limiter, the <
˚C
> indicator may remain illuminated for
several seconds after signal on that channel is reduced.
Selection Indicators-
Each page that is visited when navigating will usually show either one, two or three parameters
labelled
“
A
”, “
B
”
,
and “
C
”
below the display, each of which can be edited by turning the encoder associated with that
parameter also labelled
“
A
”, “
B
”
,
and “
C
”
below the encoder.
