Inputs are shown to the left of the grid and outputs are shown above the
grid, connections are shown between them. Next to the ‘INPUTS’ text and
‘OUTPUTS’ text various buttons are available which allow audio groups to
be added, expanded, and minimised. Encoder icons can be seen on inputs,
outputs, and routings. An encoder assignment overview can be viewed by
clicking on the ‘Show Encoder Assignment Overview’ button.
Mix-Points
Between the input and output sections is the routing grid which allows
connections to be made between inputs and outputs, encoders can also be
assigned to these connections to provide additional control. We call these
routings ‘mix-points’. Routings are generally represented by green boxes (or
pink boxes if they represent a fixed routing). See the
Routing Grid
section of
this manual for more information.
Virtual Inputs and Outputs
Commentator inputs are routed to the virtual outputs by default (these
routings are fixed and are shown in pink), physical and AoIP inputs can also
be routed to the virtual outputs. The virtual outputs then appear as inputs
that can be routed to a physical and AoIP outputs. This allows the user to
group inputs from different sources onto a bus then route them all at the
same time to physical or AoIP outputs. The virtual buses also provide smart
functionality for the commentator inputs. For example, when a
commentary position is on air, the audio from this source will be present on
the ‘Main’ virtual bus and if talkback is active then the audio from the
commentary position will be present on the relevant talkback virtual bus.
Main Bus
The main bus contains audio from commentators when they are on-air,
other audio sources can be routed to the main bus and will remain there
whether a commentator is on air or not.
T/B Bus
There are four talkback buses available, a talkback bus contains audio from
any commentator that has chosen to speak on that bus using the associated
button for that bus A/B/C/D. A button can be configured to enable/disable
a specific talkback bus in the front panel web page.
Co-Comm Bus
When the co-commentator bus is routed to a commentator’s headphones
the commentator can then hear other commentators but won’t hear
themselves. Note the co-commentator bus is only available on the AVN-
CU4.
Tone Gen
The tone generator allows the user to generate a sine wave with a
frequency ranging between 100 Hz and 10 kHz. This is useful for testing
outputs to ensure audio is reaching its destination.
