Networked Audio (Dante) Inputs
When the Digital Audio Network option is fitted, it is possible to select any channel(s) as being
sourced from this network. To do this, connect the audio network connection to the connection on the
rear of the Device, and set the relevant Input Type parameter to "Dante" (for example.)
When the Digital Audio Network input is installed and routed, the "Net Audio" indicator will illuminate.
This indicator will come on even if there are no cables plugged into the networked audio port on the
Device.
As for the AES3 inputs, it is possible to change the gain of the Dante input (when Dante is selected)
trim
by adjusting the
parameter in the Tools>inputs view of the System Engineer panel.
The amplifier will automatically select the correct sample rate from the incoming stream.
For other details on the operation of the Digital Audio Network, please refer to the relevant
manufacturer's documentation.
Automatic Input Selection (Fallover)
It is possible to configure the input selection to be automated. The Tools>inputs view in the System
fallover
Engineer panel has a
parameter for each physical input, which defaults to Manual, allowing
you to select what type of input you wish to use. When Fallover AES3>Analogue is selected (on an
input channel which supports AES3), then the AES3 source will be automatically selected if it has a
valid audio stream on it. If the AES3 stream should fail, then Analogue is automatically selected
instead.
When Fallover Dante>Analogue is selected (when the Dante option is fitted), then the Dante source
will be automatically selected if it has a valid audio stream on it. If the Dante stream should fail, then
Analogue is automatically selected instead.
Similarly, it is possible to select Fallover Dante>AES3 on a channel that supports AES3 and the Dante
option is fitted.
The 'Auto' setting allows the highest priority input source that is active to be automatically selected,
so the user could just plug a source into any input and it will be automatically selected. The priorities
are: Dante first, AES3 second, Analogue third.
Note that any automatic selection will take precedence over manual selection, so if you try to
manually select Dante when there is no valid Dante stream, then it will revert to the fallover input
source.
Gain and Polarity
The Input 'strip' in the gain/delay view of the System Engineer panel allows you to increase or
gain
decrease the amount of signal going into any given input DSP by adjusting the
parameter. The
gain
gain
presence of an active Group Overlay
parameter is indicated by a
value being shown in
[-1.4dB]
gain
square brackets e.g.
under the
control. This shows the total combined gain of all layers,
including the value of the gain control above it.
The strip also allows you to change the polarity of the selected input from normal to reverse, and to
mute the selected input DSP channel. The mute button alternately flashing green/red indicates the
presence of an active Group Overlay mute parameter.
Delay
delay
The Input 'strip' in the gain/delay view of the System Engineer panel has a
parameter which
controls the amount of delay associated with a given input DSP channel, and is adjustable from 0 to
delay
998ms. The
parameter is adjustable in fine steps at low values; the adjustment becomes
delay
progressively coarser as the value increases. The presence of an active Group Overlay
[1.23ms]
delay
parameter is indicated by a delay value being shown in square brackets e.g.
under the
