External Control Connections
MediaMatrix - A Division Of Peavey Electronics Corp.
The X-Frame 88 includes powerful functionality for connecting external
analog controls and indicators. These external devices can be configured for
various functions with the X-Ware
assigned to many functions, using specific control devices that provide a vir-
tual connection to the external device. Using external controls is an integra-
tion of sofware devices and hardware connection points.
The connecting interface for the External Control ports is distributed on
two additional sets of rear panel Euro connectors. These connectors provide
termination to the X-Frame 88's Control Voltage (CV) ports. There are f4
CV ports on the X-Frame 88, two on the top connector, and two and the
bottom connector. (See the rear panel detail on page X.) These ports
include mating removeable Euro connectors that accept bare wire from your
system cables. The method for terminating these connectors is the same as
for the audio connectors (See page X), except that these ports do not contain
audio data.
The use of these ports is integrated with software devices included with the
X-Ware software. In order to properly configure and operate external con-
trols using these ports, a thorough understanding of the associated software
devices is required.
NOTE: The configuration of the software controls for External Control
ports is different for the X-Frame 88 than it is for frame-based MediaMatrix
systems.
Please refer to the online help for X-Ware 2.2 for detailed informtion on the
software devices for external controls. There is detailed explanation of how
to configure these devices and operate the associated controls within the
software.
The following illustrations will show how these ports are connected in some
popular configurations.
