Priority - AMC OCTO User Manual

Software interface
Priority module gives a choice to reduce or even mute audio in case if signal is
detected in priority audio input. Module have it's own audio mixer dedicated
to adjust audio levels which will be sent to OCTO outputs and which will be
muted or reduced by priority input. Audio inputs used in priority mixer became
occupied and can't be used in matrix module for future routing. These occupied
inputs are disabled in matrix module and marked by yellow indication.
Input name - all OCTO audio inputs and outputs can be renamed by user. The
maximum name length is 8 symbols including letters and numbers. Name can
be changed in any menu there name window is displaying, by mouse click and
keyboard.
Input level value - it's a numerical value which shows what audio level is set with
fader. There is possibility to set audio level directly by adding values to these
windows.
Input level fader - Designed to adjust audio level. Audio level can adjusted by
dragging the fader with mouse pointer or by clicking mouse in any area near
the fader in order to force slider jump near the pointer. In order to adjust level
gradually also can be used keyboard navigation buttons "up" and "down".
Attention: If audio level in Priority mixer is set higher than -72dB, input auto-
matically became disabled and can't be used in matrix module. Please ensure
that all not used mixer inputs is set to -72dB.
Priority input selector - selector designed to set priority input according it's
audio priority mixer signal will be muted. OCTO DSP can support one priority
12 USER MANUAL OCTO Digital signal processor
input. Selected input will be disabled, also audio from this input will not be
routed to OCTO output. If necessary to have priority audio in output, link must
be made in matrix module.
Bypass - enables and disables priority module. This function can't recover disa-
bled inputs in matrix module even if bypass is set in priority module. In order to
make occupied inputs active in matrix module, occupied inputs level must be
set to -72 dB manually.
Threshold - gives possibility to set an audio limit beyond which module starts
mute signal from priority mixer.
Depth level - specifies how much mixer volume will be reduced in case of priori-
ty activation. Max depth level mutes audio totally.
Attack time - allows to set time period through which audio level will be re-
duced from unaffected level till specified in "Depth level" setting.
Hold time - time interval of reduced or muted audio level.
Release time - allows set time period through which audio level will be in-
creased from level specified in "Depth level" setting till unaffected, normal level.
Output selector - designed to select OCTO outputs to which signal from priority
mixer will be linked.
