Programmable Output Status “LED”
- Shows the current state of a programmable output. If the programmable
output function is set to “Channel Activity”, the LED will light any time any of the associated input channel(s) are
active. If the programmable output function is set to “Programmable Input State”, LED activity should be interpreted
using the information below:
Function
State when LED On
State when LED Off
Analog In Control
Attenuation < 15dB
Attenuation > 15dB
Increase In 1dB:
Contact closure on prog input
No contact closure on prog input
Decrease In 1dB:
Contact closure on prog input
No contact closure on prog input
Analog Out Control
Attenuation < 15dB
Attenuation > 15dB
Increase Out 1dB:
Contact closure on prog input
No contact closure on prog input
Decrease Out 1dB:
Contact closure on prog input
No contact closure on prog input
Memory Preset:
Associated memory is active
Associated memory is not active
Toggle Crosspoint Gain:
Input-to-output(s) connection made
Input - output(s) connection not made
Mute In:
Associated input(s) not muted
Associated input(s) muted
Mute Out:
Associated output(s) not muted
Associated output(s) muted
Apply Button
- Applies the current setting of “Function” and “Applies To” to the current programmable output. When
the Apply button is enabled, this indicates that the setting of “Function” and “Applies To” in the AM16/12 does not
match the setting of “Function” and “Applies To” shown on the control panel screen. Clicking the Apply button will
load the control panel setting into the active AM16/12 setup. This does not store the changes to a memory preset!
That must be done explicitly from the File/Save Active to AM16/12 Preset... file menu option. If changes are made to
a programmable output but not applied (by clicking on the Apply button), and another programmable output is
selected (by clicking on of the Select Programmable Output buttons), all the changes to the first programmable
output which were not applied will be lost.
Programmable Output
Functions:
Channel Activity
- Allows the
selected programmable output to
indicate activity on one or more
input channels. Anytime at least
one of the inputs associated with a
particular programmable output is
active, the programmable output
will be active. This is useful for
initiating activities which must
react to activity on specific chan
nels. One example is video-follow
audio, where different cameras (or camera positions) must be activated based on channel activity. Note that on the
Misc Settings tab, the input qualification time and output hold time may be set to optimize the time response of
channel activity for various applications. The screen below shows programmable output 1 responding to activity on
any of input channels 1, 2, or 3.
Programmable Input State
- Allows the selected programmable output to indicate the current state of one of the
programmable inputs. This is particularly useful when you need to supply user feedback for the state of a bistate
programmable input. The programmable output may then be connected to a LED to show the state of the associated
programmable input.
When the room combining capability of the AM16/12 is used, a logic output will automatically be associated with
each Toggle Room Boundary programmable input. This will provide user feedback as to the combine status of each
boundary between two rooms. You’ll notice that the frame caption changes to include the phrase “(used for room
combining)” as a reminder that this programmable output cannot be changed in this tab.
