Some features mentioned in this chapter are not supported by the OnAir 1500
and/or OnAir 2500 consoles. If a feature is not available for the OnAir 1500
and/or OnAir 2500 consoles, it is mentioned in the text.
Most of the screenshots in this chapter are taken from an OnAir 3000 main
screen but are also useful for the OnAir 2500 and OnAir 1500 units.
One of the strong points of the OnAir 1500/2500/3000 consoles is their exten-
sive flexibility. Flexibility from the hardware on one side – for the OnAir 3000
in particular – but also a huge amount of flexibility on the system integration
side. This implies the need for a means to configure all the different interfaces
to the overall system, such as labels, fader starts, GPIOs, etc.
The configuration part of the user interface is only used for console set-up
and exclusively reserved to the system administrator. Therefor it is strictly
separated from the user GUI intended for daily use by the console operators.
The system configuration tool ('Config Tool') is intended for trained per-
sonnel (such as the system administrator) only; due to the fact that it allows
contradictory settings in some points, care must be applied when using it.
When making configuration changes, it is strongly recommended to backup
the current configuration on an external medium (e.g. USB stick) before, see
chapter 6.2; when using a computer with an appropriate socket, the files on
the external medium may then be saved to any backup drive for additional
data safety.
Notes: OnAir 1500 does not support a main screen. Therefore external components
must be used for configuration: either a DVI screen, USB keyboard and
mouse (refer to
via Ethernet running the Remote Configuration Tool application (refer to
chapter 5.13). Both methods do not support the touch screen functionality
known from OnAir 2500 and OnAir 3000.
Remote Configuration Tool or Remote Console networked operation is, of
course, also available for OnAir 2500 and OnAir 3000.
Many of the screenshots are identical or nearly identical for OnAir 1500,
OnAir 2500 and OnAir 3000; in this case, only an OnAir 3000 screenshot is
given.
The Configuration Tool can be accessed from the main screen in the Admin
menu. Its concept is based on the touch screen and the rotary encoders below
the screen. Alternatively, the Configuration Tool may also be handled as a
part of the GUI application on a remote PC that is connected to the console.
In doing so, the desk parameters can be accessed via a network, even without
the need of being in the same location.
