Volume/Equalizer Control Expansion Card
Setup is easy thanks to Crestron's Windows
following are recommended software version requirements for the PC:
•
SIMPL Windows version 2.04.14 or later with library update file 240.
Requires SIMPL+ Cross Compiler version 1.1.
•
Crestron Database version 15.8.8 or later. Required by SIMPL Windows.
•
Digital Audio Tools version 1.03.00 or later.
The Digital Audio Tools software is the preferred method to adjust equalization. In
fact, if you want to use a graphic equalizer, you MUST use Digital Audio Tools,
because this is where the default graphic equalizer characteristics are set up. Refer to
the following section for more details on using Digital Audio Tools.
Digital Audio Tools
The full parametric equalization controls built into the C2VEQ-4 provide graphic
and parametric equalization, programmable using Crestron's Digital Audio Tools
software or SIMPL Windows. The Digital Audio Tools (DAT) software is free and
available from the download section of the Crestron website (www.crestron.com).
Almost all users will use the Digital Audio Tools and not the SIMPL Windows
symbol to adjust equalization because of the program's simplicity, speed, and ease of
operation. From the point of view of the symbols for the C2VEQ-4, all equalization
is parametric; graphic equalizers are just parametric equalizers with specific default
frequencies, Q (bandwidth), and type. If you want to use a graphic equalizer, you
MUST use Digital Audio Tools, because this is where the default graphic equalizer
characteristics are set up. SIMPL Windows programmers might want to set up
sliders from the TrimBand gains to let the user modify slightly what the programmer
has stored.
The C2VEQ-4 adjustments in Digital Audio Tools contain five tabs:
•
Master Volume – for setting the overall volume in the four channels.
•
Mixer – for setting the level of each of the four possible inputs you want to
appear at each channel output, plus setting the relative gain of each channel.
You can also specify up to five presets of various setting combinations.
Using these adjustments properly lets you compensate for analog sources
with different input levels to obtain a seamless transition between sources at
a given volume level.
•
Graphic EQ – for choosing the number of graphic equalizers, and provides
access to the graphic equalizer sliders.
•
Parametric EQ – for making parametric equalization adjustments and
permits setting up to five equalization filter presets per output channel.
•
Communications – for setting up communications and adjusting the
equalizer in real time.
