    TS-22 Operation Soft Buttons The Talent Station TS-22 has six SOFT buttons labeled A through F that can be programmed with a user-written script. The script is written in the GUI and compiled on a PC and then stored and executed in the Talent Station. The script determines what happens when buttons are pressed and which button LEDs are lit.

The LIOs are defined so they can be included in a Source signal, which could be connected to a Destination signal on a surface, which in turn supports the microphone LIOs.

  • Page 22: Volume Controls

    T S - 2 2 O P E R A T I O N Volume Controls The TS-22 has two knobs that can be used to control volume. The HEADPHONE knob controls the volume of the headphone plugged into the Talent Station. The SPEAKER knob either controls a Studio speaker or a local speaker, or no speaker at all.

  • Page 38: Mapped Surface Setup

    D E V I C E S E T U P Mapped Surface Setup If you are using your TS‑22 to interface with a Wheat- stone mixer console (control surface), you will need to setup your device with a list of each surface to which it will communicate.

  • Page 40: Input Lios

    D E V I C E S E T U P Input LIOs Input LIOs correspond to Logic I/O values which are fed IN to the WheatNet- IP crosspoint grid. Typical types of input LIOs would be cough, talkback, remote on, and remote off logic signals associated with a microphone source.

  • Page 41: Lio Configuration Example

    D E V I C E S E T U P LIO Configuration Example This example is here to show how you could configure the TS‑22 to work with a microphone source signal and provide some common microphone type controls. For the sake of this example, let’s assume that we have a microphone source named “JOES MIC”...

A soft LIO pin can then be as- signed to a WheatNet-IP signal just as you would assign a physical pin from the rear panel of a BLADE.

  • Page 43: Configure The Ts-22 Lios

    D E V I C E S E T U P Configure The TS-22 LIOs Let’s assume that we want to use the first four soft buttons on our TS‑22 to perform these functions. Button Function Details The Remote ON LIO will be triggered when the button is pressed, the button LED will light to indicate that the channel is on air.

  • Page 44: Create A Script Using The Scrip Wizard

    D E V I C E S E T U P Define the first two output LIOs to match the On Tally and Off Tally LIOs for the “JOES MIC” signal. Take note that these are configured as “Output” LIOs in the TS‑22 since we are reading this logic out of the crosspoint matrix.

  • Page 45: Button 3

    D E V I C E S E T U P Button 3 Configure the third button to be Momentary LIO with Inter- nal LED drive. The Momentary LIO function choice gives us the functionality we desire in that the input soft LIO mapped to this button will be asserted when the button is pressed and de-asserted when the button is released.

  • Page 46: Generated Script

    D E V I C E S E T U P Generated Script The auto‑generated script code for the first two buttons will assert the input LIO while the button is pressed and de-assert the input LIO when the button is released. The button LED will light to indicate that the corresponding output LIO is active.

  • Page 49: Group Timer Id

    D E V I C E S E T U P Group Timer ID The TS‑22 uses the concept of a Group Timer. The group consists of one or more Tal- ent Stations surfaces. The Group has a Master which controls the timer (direction, start/stop, reset, etc.).

  • Page 50: Speaker Control

    D E V I C E S E T U P Speaker Control The TS-22 has a Speaker encoder that can be used to either control a speaker attached to the Talent Station or a speaker on a Surface. There are three speaker modes that can be se- lected.

  • Page 51: Visibilities

    D E V I C E S E T U P Visibilities The Visibilities tab is used to con- figure the set of Source signals that is shown when programming a Source button or when doing a Source selec- tion for the Talent Station headphone. (If a local speaker is attached, then the speaker is connected to the same source as selected for the headphone.)
