Menu Bar d - Scene Manager There are 8 configuration memories called Scene. These can be edited and saved very simply. • Rename scene: gives or changes a name. Select the line you wish to edit and then click Rename scene, enter the new name in the window and confirm. -
Page 13: Voice Tracking
Menu Bar e - Voice Tracking The Voice Tracking function automatically controls the position of a video camera or sends an external control signal based on the detection of a signal picked up by a microphone. Track setting • Enable tracking: activation of the Camera (Camera Track) and command (Custom command) data. The Camera information can directly control the position and the settings of a video camera. - Page 14 Menu Bar • Switch default mic times (s): duration before the camera is supposed to return to the default position. Equivalent to define the duration of what are considered as silences or pauses, they do not justify camera movements. • Gap time (ms): time interval between two command data, the commands for the camera or the serial port are sent redundantly.

Page 15: Gpio Setting
Menu Bar f - GPIO setting The rear panel of the audio matrix has a DB25 connector for the connection of the GPIO. Channel outputs 1 to 8 correspond to the upper pins of the DB25 connector (original state is "high" logic level). Channels 5 to 8 are electrically OC (open collector) to be used with a reference voltage of + 12 V and max of 60 mA. - Page 16 Menu Bar GPIO wiring Outputs (R.O 1 ~ 4 and R.O 5 ~ 8) When a parameter of the device varies (for example, a channel is forced to MUTE), some GPIO output level changes accordingly and command an external circuit.
- Page 17 Menu Bar Examples 1 - Settings with Scene Display: Go to the GPIO Setting menu, click R.O 8, then GPIO Enabled On, then Apply. Change settings as shown in the following example, and click Apply again. In this example, if Scene 8 is loaded using the Stage manager menu, pin 11 (R.O 8) will be in the electrical "low"...
- Page 18 Menu Bar 3 - Settings with Mute Display: When channel 3 output is in Mute position, R.O 8 is "high". If Mute is removed, R.O 8 transitions to "low“. 4 - Settings with SysMute Display: When all the output channels are in Mute position, RO 8 is "low".
- Page 19 Menu Bar Wiring output R.O 1 ~ 4 Unlike outputs R.O 5 ~ 8, outputs R.O 1 ~ 4 are 5 V outputs issuing a 0.4 mA Max current in "high" level and -30 mA in "low" level. Example ...

Page 20: Help
Menu Bar The settings for a Scene load are as follows: the device will automatically load the Scene 4 when the pin level corresponding to R.I 1 will switch from "high" to "low" (Falling Edge). ... -
Page 21: Inputs
Inputs Depending on the size of the screen, the graphic interface cannot display all the channels, then use the arrows on the left to move the page to one side or the other and thus visualize the missing channels. Click on the channel for modifications, its settings will appear in the upper windows. -
Page 22: Creating Groups Of Inputs
Inputs 1 - Creating Groups of Inputs Inputs can be grouped for common modifications, so when one changes the gain of a group, all channels in the group will be affected. To create a group use the right click of the mouse, click on a channel, choose Add To Group or Add To DCA, then select the number of a group of 1 to 4. -
Page 23: Input Parameters
Inputs 3 – Input Parameters Each channel has its own processing modules. Therefore, individual setting becomes necessary. The Copy / Paste (see page 6) allows to simplify programming by copying settings from one module to the other, without having to enter all data on an individual basis. • ... -
Page 24: Expander / Gate
Inputs 4 - Expander / Gate The capabilities of the Expander are to add Dynamics to a signal. When the signal is below a certain threshold the Expander boosts the input signal with a determined ratio. When the signal is beyond the threshold, the output signal remains identical to the input signal. -
Page 25: Parametric Eq
Inputs 5 – Parametric EQ An equalizer is used to compensate or alter the spectral characteristics of the signal in order to obtain the flattest possible frequency response. The module here is a parametric 5 bands EQ. • Freq: central frequency of the filter between 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz. • ... -
Page 26: Compressor
Inputs 6 - Compressor A compressor can limit the dynamics of a signal beyond a certain level. When the signal exceeds the Threshold it is compressed in a ratio greater than 1. Below the Threshold, input and output signals remain the same. By adjusting the value of the ratio to its maximum value, the compressor is transformed into a limiter. -
Page 27: Automatic Gain Control (Agc)
Inputs 7 – Automatic Gain Control (AGC) The AGC module or "Automatic Gain Control" is the combination of an Expander and Compressor and is used to compensate for variations in levels of the voice picked up by a microphone. If the level is below a certain threshold, the signal is amplified in a defined ratio until you reach a peak level. -
Page 28: Scene Manager And Gpio
Inputs 8 - Scene Manager and GPIO The stage Manager section includes the options Select Scene, Upload, Save and Load. It is a simplified version of the Scene Manager menu in Device Setting (see page 12). Save saves the settings in the device, Upload load settings from the PC's hard disk in the device by overwriting the previous one. -
Page 29: Ducker
Inputs 9 - Ducker The principle of the Ducker is to attenuate one or more channels by the presence of a signal on other inputs. The main applications are automatic speech in conference and priority messages. Paging Input: choice of the priority channel. Background Input : selection of channels being affected by the attenuation. -
Page 30: Spl (Ambient Noise Controller)
Inputs 10 – SPL (Ambient Noise Controller ) SPL means Sound Pressure Level. This terminology is associated here with a module of automatic correction of the output level in relation with the ambient noise. This feature is called Ambient Noise Controller (ANC) and is very useful in places where noise is brought to vary frequently as in a shopping mall based on hours of attendance or sports venue depending on the type of event and the number of spectators. -
Page 31: Outputs
Inputs • Gap Time (ms): any intermittent signal whose time is less than the value displayed is considered as a spurious signal and is not processed. • Gap Interval (min): time interval to activate the ANC for a non-intermittent signal (continuous background music). -
Page 32: Source
Outputs 1 - Source This module routes the inputs, Ducker and SPL modules to the outputs. First select the output channel, and then click on the input channels as well as the Ducker or SPL modules that you want to assign to this output. The inputs can be routed on several different outputs. 2 - Speaker Manager This module processes the signal EQ to drive the amplification system assigned to each output. -
