4.1.3 Console Security ..................................................................
The console has 3 modes of operation which dictate the types of operations that can be performed.
The
Setup mode is essential if you wish to access all the console operations but when the basic setup is complete you may wish to switch
to Live mode which only enables changes to controllers and not routing, reconfiguring or labelling. This may prevent accidental changes to
the basic setup.
For total security the
Unattended mode locks the console completely and all operations are disabled. This state can only be changed by
typing a password - the standard password is D5.
4.1.4 Consoles and Racks ............................................................
If the console is the only one in the system, the Consoles & Racks panel will not open automatically and the console will be fully
connected to the racks with its Master Audio Outputs Active by default. This panel can also be opened from the System menu.
If the system has been defined as consisting of more than one device, the Consoles & Racks panel will automatically open on boot up or
load session.
If the crossed Ethernet cable or Ethernet switch has been connected, then the
Ethernet Connected line should show a green OK light
and not a red cross.
The initial state will have no connection between the devices (
Independent ) or the racks ( Isolated ) and the panel appears in order to
prompt the operator to make the necessary connections.
In this state, any gain adjustments made on the console will have no effect as the racks will not be receiving any data.
The console’s
MASTER Audio Outputs Active button will normally be highlighted in orange to show that it is the master responsible for
audio processing at this time.
The same button on the other consoles in the system should not be highlighted at all.
The MADI Rack’s connect states Receive Only and Full Connect are enabled/disabled and set according to the Audio Master active state
– an inactive engine cannot output to a MADI rack.
Main Console Redundant Engine, Mirror Console or Remote
To enable control of the DiGiRacks, press the Full Connect buttons for the Optocore and MADI racks. You will then be required to confirm
the action, the session settings will be sent to the racks and the console will have full control over them.
If you have a system where more than one console is sharing the racks you may wish to use the
Receive Only mode where the console
will receive the rack’s existing settings but will not be able to control the gain on the racks.
Options are:
Isolate
where the console will not communicate with the racks and therefore any adjustment of input gain or +48V switch will have no
effect on the rack settings.
Receive Only where the console will receive the rack’s existing settings but will not be able to control the gain etc on the racks.
Full Connect where the console will send its settings to the racks and change them accordingly.
If Copy to MADI has been ticked in the Hardware Configuration for the optocore racks, then the Listen to Copied MADI button provides
a quick switch from monitoring the normal signals received via optocore connections from the stage racks to signals received at the MADI
inputs on the console's rear panel.
In this way a MADI equipped multitrack recorder can be connected to the MADI 1 In and Out on the rear of the console and record the
stage rack microphone signals directly. The recording can then be played back into the same channels as the original microphones by
pressing the
Listen to Copied MADI button.
For more information on the use of this panel please see the chapter on Multiple Console Setups.
