Overview The GTM combines the multiple functions required for the interfacing and communications in eSports tournaments into one simple to use device. GTM provides the interface for the gamers, provides the intercom mix, and allows remote control by tournament engineers. There are separate modes that also mean the GTM can be used by the Coaches, Referees, and arena Announcers.
The GTM has a customisable team comms mix over Dante where up to 6 other players can be brought into the unit and mixed together and listened to via the Team encoder. There are also extra inputs for coaches, referees or auxiliary audio channels. These...
Pressing the button sends the microphone audio to Dante channel 2. Mic metering This 5-point LED meter shows the users post gain mic level to allow for easy mic gain adjustment. The scale is in dBu. The meter is always on, even if the Me or Talk buttons are not active.
GTM Front Panel Layout XLR Microphone input TRRS Headset Headphone output XLR Microphone input This standard 3 pin XLR is the input of the user’s microphone. +48V phantom power can be enabled or disabled for use with condenser microphones using rear panel controls or via GlenController.
GTM Rear Panel Layout Mic gain control Game source Mic selection selection Identify / SDI interface Update button Network RJ45 etherCON USB-C connector GPIO DC loops Stereo Aux input TOSLINK connector Mic selection & Mic gain control Here the active Microphone input can be chosen between the XLR and TRRS headset inputs.
Network RJ45 etherCON Primary and Secondary 1Gbps ethernet IP interfaces allow connection to a Dante network. The GTM can operate in full redundant mode or in switched mode for daisy- chaining network devices. The amber LED indicates network activity. Both connectors are Neutrik etherCON which allow locking connections with a compatible etherCON cable.
USB Audio The GTM supports bi-directional USB audio on PC and Mac and will appear as both a USB microphone and as USB stereo speakers. We recommend setting the Windows volume control of the microphone to 62% to ensure a 1-to-1 Mic gain level, any higher and windows will add artificial gain which is not optimal to achieve the best noise performance.
Device roles The GTM has three different modes of operation: Player (default), Coach and Referee. The currently selected role is denoted by the GTM top panel led lighting: Player Green Coach Yellow Referee Magenta As of GTM firmware version 0.2.12 the functionality of the device roles has yet to be implemented, but it is intended to provide methods of automatically controlling things such as audio routing, automatic white noise generation, attention indication and game phase management.
Additional features Noise generator The GTM has two independent headphone output circuits via the headphone jack and TRRS headset jack. The GTM also has a built-in white noise generator. This means that the GTM supports the use of IEMs and over ear headsets all in one device. The white noise can be configured to be present on the disused interface i.e.
Hidden Features The following controls are all configurable with GlenController. Update button key combinations: Update + Mic Gain Up + Mic Gain Down - Factory reset Update + Game encoder switch - Role select Update + rotate a knob - Pan function Factory reset It restores the unit settings to the factory defaults and clears the remote access password.
Optional SDI Interface The GTM supports de-embedding and embedding audio from/to an SDI video feed. The GTM can support speeds of 2.970Gb/s, 2.970/1.001Gb/s, 1.485Gb/s, 1.485/1.001Gb/s, and 270Mb/s and is compliant to SMPTE ST 425 (Level A and Level B), SMPTE ST 424, SMPTE 292 and SMPTE ST 259-C. The SDI input supports typical equalized length of Belden 1694A cable up to: 200m at 2.97Gb/s 280m at 1.485Gb/s...
Getting Dante Controller If you are connecting the GTM to a new Dante network the first thing you will need to do is to get the free Dante controller software from Audinate. This can be downloaded by visiting Audinate’s web site at www.audinate.com...
If you have never run Dante controller before then make sure that on the bottom left of the Dante controllers’ screen ‘P’ or ‘S’ is next to a green square as this indicates that it is connected to a network. By clicking ‘P’ or ‘S’ a pop up box opens to allow you to set what network interface the controller is using.
Device not showing up in Dante Controller If your Dante device does not show up in Dante Controller then the most likely issue is that the device’s IP Address is not appropriate for your network. A) It maybe that the device is set to obtain an IP address automatically using DHCP (this is the default configuration) and your network is setup for fixed IP addresses only and does not have a DHCP server.
If you want to use your GTM on an AES67 network and it has not been set to AES67 mode then this can be set in Dante controller by double clicking the GTM to open the Device View window where you will find an AES67 tab to enable AES67 support.
Once set the flows can be seen in the transmit tab of the device view. Receiving AES67 Audio Once a compatible AES67 stream is detected on the network by Dante Controller the AES67 flows will appear in the Dante Transmitters section in the Routing tab.
• L16 or L24 encoding • 125usec, 250usec, 333usec, 1 msec packet time • Up to 8 channels per stream The GTM also supports SMPTE-ST2110-30 via Dante Domain Manager (DDM), with a licesnse purchased from Audinate. Page 27 of 39...
Glensound Controller Glensound Controller is a windows 10 & 11 application that allows remote control of some Glensound products over a network. The GTM has full remote-control functionality and can be operated from a remote location with only a windows PC and access to the network the GTM is on.
