INTEGRITY VOICE ALARM ROUTING MATRIX
Integrity Voice Alarm Routing Matrix Installation & Maintenance Manual • Approved Doc. No. DCS0003214 Rev 0 (8/2/05) • Page 23
General
Message slots are of fixed length and if a message overruns the first slot it will run into
the next slot.
For example, on a 16 kHz unit a wave file recorded at 16 kHz, 16 bit, a 14 second mes-
sage will fit into message slot 1 and 2, but a 17 second message will fit into slot 1 and 2
and 3, leaving 8 seconds for another message
For best results, messages must be recorded in one of the following formats
16 kHz, 16 bit mono .wav
44.1 kHz 16 bit mono .wav
44.1 kHz 16 bit stereo CD quality audio
Cause and Effects
Once the hardware has been set-up it is possible to set up the cause and effects page.
Overview of cause and effects
In order to facilitate the routing of messages, announcements and music to different
audio outputs at the same time, Integrity uses eight audio buses running along the back-
plane. There are eight audio input cards and, when each of these is plugged in to a slot,
it connects to one of the audio buses.
