dspMusik Display/Encoder Operation
The display/encoder consists of a 2x16 alphanumeric display and a rotary encoder for control. The encoder
rotates continuously and also has a pushbutton shaft switch.
There is also an IR receiver that allows alternative control from an Apple Remote.
The Apple remote is assumed to be the later style (silver) that has 7 buttons.
Ergonomically, the Encoder and Apple Remote work in very similar fashion. Both controls can operate at the
same time.
The encoder functions are as follows:
Rotating clockwise increases the selection or moves toward the end of a list.
Rotating counterclockwise decreases the selection or moves toward the start of a list.
Normal Click (pushing like a mouse click) is a normal selection, works like an Enter key.
Doubleclicking (similar to a mouse) toggles mute.
Long Click (holding the encoder button down for 2 seconds).
The Apple Remote functions are as follows:
Up or Right Arrows function the same as a clockwise rotation of the encoder.
Down or Left Arrows function the same as a counterclockwise rotation of the encoder.
Center functions like a normal click or long click. There is no doubleclick functionality.
The Pause Button functions like a doubleclick (mute).
Menu is a hot key that eliminates the need for the Source Selection mode discussed below.
There are three main modes and one temporary mode:
Splash
Volume
Source Selection
Settings
Splash Mode
The splash screen typically displays company name and product and lasts for about 5 seconds.
During this time, all the nonvolatile settings from the dspMusik are transferred to the display
processor. This is how the display/encoder knows the current source selection, volume settings, etc.
This process is invisible on the display. During this time the encoder is ignored.
Volume Mode
The volume mode is the normal operating mode. It displays the volume setting in 0.5dB steps. 0dB is
maximum setting. It also displays the selected source. Volume level is independent for each source.
