The Concept of Focus
Euphonix CS3000/2000 MixView 3.0 Software Supplement
Front Focus - Focus control is unique to the Euphonix Hyper-Surround system.
It is similar in function to divergence. The major differentiating factors are
that the Focus control does not render the L-C-R pan control ineffective, and
that it requires three or more buses in order to function.
100% Focus indicates that the signal will have a pinpoint image; as signal is
panned it will crossfade directly from one bus to the next, completely fading
from the first before entering the third, etc..
Non-zero ranges of Focus will allow the signal to be "blurred" across multiple
output buses; signal will move from bus one into bus two, and then begin to
crossfade into bus three before bus one has completely faded out. The result
is that dynamically panned objects move more smoothly and seemlessly
across the range of the pan.
0% Focus indicates that the center bus is eliminated from the pan range
entirely. The pan control still functions, however the signal crossfades directly
from bus one to bus three. One use of 0% Focus is to create phantom cen-
tered images, where the signal is sourced equally from the left and right front
speakers instead of directly from the center speaker.
Surround - Front/Rear panning control. Moves image into the surround buses
of the stem.
Surround Divergence - Controls front/rear divergence. One example of a
use for Surround Divergence would be to bleed signal into the surrounds
without "pulling" the image from the front speakers.
Surround Focus - Affects the focus of a front to rear movement. Only active
with custom Euphonix panning formats that utilize 3 or more discrete channels
between front and rear.
Rear Pan - When engaged, provides discrete control of left/right panning for
the rear image. If disengaged, the Front Pan determines left/right panning for
both front and rear images. One example of the use of Rear Pan is to enable a
smooth diagonal pan from front to rear.
Rear Divergence - Same effect as Front Divergence. Only effective on Rear
Pan.
Rear Focus - Same effect as Front Focus. Only active with panning formats
that utilize 3 or more rear channels.
Non-Boom Level - For a particular Panner, controls the level to all current
pan buses except the boom bus.
Boom Level - For a particular panner, controls the level to the boom bus only.
Panner Level - Output gain control for a single panner. Each Hyper-Surround
fader can feed signal to multiple panners. Unique output levels can be set for
each panner using individual Panner Level controls.
