ixView 3.0 introduces the new Hyper-Surround Multi-Format surround
panning interface providing more comprehensive control over your
surround mix.
Euphonix Hyper-Surround uses a system of virtual "panners" to distribute the
signal from the consoles Hyper-Surround equipped faders to stem buses. A
stem is defined as a group of buses or tracks of a recorder, organized to
accommodate a specific monitoring environment from mono to 7.1 and be-
yond. Any console fader can be Hyper-Surround equipped, however there are
standard factory configurations in which specific groups of faders are desig-
nated as Hyper-Surround faders.
This section describes the operational setup and application of the Hyper-
Surround Panning System. It assumes that the lower level Cube configurations
of the fader assign template and bus definition have been done. If not, please
consult the main Operation Manual for procedures.
Lets say for example that the mix format is 5.1 and that Cube buses 1 through
6 are feeding the stem 1 recorder inputs. From the DSC, you will build a 5.1
panner. This panner will be automatically duplicated to all Hyper-Surround
faders on the console. With traditional surround systems a single panner is
shared by all faders on the console. With Hyper-Surround, every fader will
have an independent "virtual" panner. If we were to build three "virtual"
panners of various configurations, each Hyper-Surround fader will have three
independent panners available to it.
Up to 16 panners (each up to 16 buses wide) can be built for up to 48 Hyper-
Surround faders. Panner/bus capacity depends on the number of output buses
your Cube is equipped with.
Once a panner is built, you will see the panner controls on the DSC screen.
These screen controls are mapped to the assignable rotary knobs on the DSC.
At any time these controls are accessed by pressing the Pan Assign key below
the DSC assignable rotary knob set.
The DSC assignable key set is also integral to panner control. These keys
provide assign, attention, pan and direct busing functionality. Detailed descrip-
tion of each keys is given later in this section.
Below are three exercises to explain panner setup. In the first exercise we will
build a full 5.1 panner that sends to buses 1 thru 6 (1=L, 2=C, 3=R, 4=Sl, 5=Sr,
6=B). In the second exercise we will add a 3 way panner consisting of the front
L-C-R and sends to buses 1-2-3. Finally in the third exercise we will build a
