Description
The DX1208 supports the use of external Remote Controls which can be used to control
different DX1208 functions, such as recalling Presets, triggering ducker Priorities, or changing
Input or Output Channel Gains. The DX1208 communicates to the Remotes through a single
RS-485 port on the rear of the unit that can directly power up to 10 Remote Controls. An
external power supply is required to connect more than 10 Remotes (see the
Remote Control - Quick Start Guide
Every Remote connected to a DX1208 must be set to a unique bus address (up to 128
addresses are possible). It is not necessary to maintain unique addresses across multiple
DX1208 units in a system, since each DX1208 is aware only of the Remotes connected to its
own Remote Bus. When the DX1208 powers up it queries the Remote Bus for the presence
of Remotes at each of the 128 possible addresses. If it finds a Remote, the DX1208 flashes
the Remote's LEDs to indicate that it has been found. Remotes must be connected to the
DX1208 at power up to be recognized and function properly. The DX1208 will not recognize a
Remote that is connected after power up.
There are three types of DX Remote Controls:
•
UR-1
•
UR-2
•
UR-3
The Remotes tab is used to add and configure Remote Controls. All Remote tab settings are
stored in non-volatile hardware memory and are therefore retained when a unit is power
[Enable Priority] Active when the Selected ducker [Priority] level is
triggered by either a Logic Inputor a remote control;
priority levels triggered by level detection are not
indicated by this output.
[Mute All In] Active when all physical and DX Link inputs are
muted.
[Mute All Out] Active when all physical and DX Link outputs are
muted.
[Mute Ch] Active when the Selected input or output channel is
muted.
Select assigns a specific Priority level or Input/Output Channel
number to the [Enable Priority] or [Mute Ch] Function.
for more information).
The UR-1 has a rotary encoder which controls the Gain of Input or
Output Channels. A ring of 15 LEDs surrounding the encoder
displays the channel gain. It also has a single function button that
can be programmed for the same actions as the Logic Inputs.
When the assigned Button Function is activated, the button's LED
lights.
The UR-2 has four function buttons which can each be
programmed for the same actions as the Logic Inputs. When the
assigned Button Function is activated, the button's LED lights.
The UR-3 is actually a UR-1 and UR-2 grouped together on the
same wall plate. As such they must be programmed as two
individual Remotes.
