Section 20. Matrix Editor
20.1. An Overview
In each
i
-
Mix
G
3
field unit Configuration File there is a set of routing matrices
used by the various profiles defined within the file. Basically, the matrices tell each
codec how to route audio throughout the unit.
There can be up to 160 user matrices in a Configuration File. Each profile has
16 routing matrices that have to be defined by the user. Matrix mapping is the
process used to assign a matrix to each routing function within a profile. This is
discussed within the
Matrix Map
section of this manual.
20.2. How do I use Matrices in the Codec?
The process of creating, saving and loading profiles begins with the
Matrix
Editor
. Once you have used the
Matrix Editor
to create the audio routing
matrices for your profile, then you can ‘map’ the matrices in the
Matrix Map
section of
Tool Box
, finalize your connection settings for the profile and save it in
a configuration file. This is then loaded onto your codec and you are ready to
connect – it’s as simple as that.
Very Important Note on Matrices:
It is very important to note that
i
-
Mix
G 3 and
COMMANDER
G 3 TLR300 rack,
TLR300B rack plus and field unit matrices are different to each other. This is
because each codec has slightly different audio routing capabilities. Therefore
each codec has different audio matrix routing requirements.
If you are connecting an
i
-
Mix
G
3 to a
COMMANDER
G 3
, (or a
COMMANDER
G 3
rack unit
codec to a field unit codec), you will need to create
separate configuration files with profiles and matrices
for each codec using the correct
Matrix Editor
for each
codec. To do this you will need to add a new
configured device, i.e. an
i
-
Mix
G
3
and a
COMMANDER
G 3
codec if you are connecting these
two codecs, to the
Configured Devices
menu in
Tool Box
(as displayed in the right-hand image that
follows).
Once you have done this, you can then select the
Matrix Editor
for each codec and amend, create and
save matrices to a profile as required. For more
information on

G 3
matrices, please consult the
COMMANDER
G 3
reference manuals. (Related Topics:
