V-Mixer And V-Mode; Brightness Control; Synchronization - Axia iQx AES67 Installation & User Manual

System Configuration

V-Mixer and V-Mode

The V-Mixer and V-Mode are small utilities included that help with odd audio needs every studio runs into.
The V-Mixer is a 5-input mixer with an ON switch and gain stage for each input. The V-Mixer output goes through a final gain
stage. The V-Mixer inputs are defined through Source Profiles. The ON states of the inputs can be controlled through GPIO in
three different modes, Normal, Toggle, or Radio. Assign the Logic Port a Livewire number and define the same value to a GPIO
port. Chapter 4 covers the GPIO behavior.
Normal - an active GPI will be an ON state
♦
Toggle - momentary GPI will toggle ON/OFF states
♦
Radio - the last GPI will be the active ON channel
♦
V-Mode accepts one of the main mixes as input and can produce a V-Mode output that is a manipulation of the channels as
defined in the Mode options.

Brightness Control

Settings that impact the illumination of different objects of the console. Normal operation and dim operation are two states. A
dim state is entered after a timeout of no operation.

Synchronization

It should be noted that the iQx is an AES67 console and thus requires PTP for system time. The synchronization page is mostly
a status page providing information on the PTP source. It is recommended to have a PTP grandmaster that supports real time
as this time is ingested by the system and impacts log time stamping and clock presentation. If there are audio problems in the
system, verify that this sync information indicates proper operation. Sync status would show a green SYNC. Otherwise there is
a problem with the grandmaster or the network which the iQx is connected.
