  • Page 9: Configuring The Executive Hd Tm Base Station

    Configuring the Executive HD Base Station Each Revolabs Executive HDTM Base Station must be configured properly prior to use. Accurate configuration is dependent on several variables such as: 1. How many Executive HD systems are being used together in proximity? 2.
  • Page 10: Using Multiple Revolabs Executive Hd

    Using Multiple Revolabs Executive HD Systems Together If more than one Revolabs Executive HD ™ Base Station is used in an area, each unit needs to be interconnected with a synchronization (BUS) cable using a standard 3.5mm mini-Phoenix connector and any 24AWG or better shielded cable. In addition, DIP switch #1 needs to be adjusted on one or more of the units to represent the ‗Primary‘...

  • Page 14 Executive HD Systems are field upgradable for the firmware portion of the Base Station and Microphones. The firmware must be sent to the Base station and Microphones separately using the HD Control Panel program. See Updating Revolabs HD Firmware for more information. Serial Control Processor The Serial Control Processor allows the use of third party control system or DSP to monitor and control the Executive HD Base Station and Microphones.
  • Page 15 The transmit power of the Base Station can be adjusted to help reduce the operational radius of a Executive HD System in order to prevent interference from other Revolabs Products, or from other devices operating in the same frequency. The options for transmit power are ‗0-7‘ with ‗0‘...

DB9 Pin-out: Pin 2 = Rx Pin 3 = Tx Pin 5 = GND Pin 7 = RTS Pin 8 = CTS Using the Executive HD Base Station with a DSP The Executive HD system is designed to control the mutes of a DSP directly in the event that no control system is present.
  • Page 20 Each Base station will control the mutes of a ―level block‖, within the DSP programming, using that block‘s instance ID tag. The tags are as follows: Channels 1-8 MUTE1 Channels 9-16 MUTE2 Channels 17-24 MUTE3 Channels 25-32 MUTE4 So for example, if you set the ‗Audio channels‘ range for the microphones to 1-8, in the Control Panel, then the Base Station will use the instance ID tag of ―MUTE1‖, and control the first 8 mutes in that fader block.
  • Page 21 Note: Instance ID tags are case sensitive and must be entered correctly in order to function properly. A “level block” must be used as the method of muting. Polycom Soundstructure When using the Base Station along with a Polycom Soundstructure DSP, you must select the corresponding DSP product line from the ―External Control Processor‖...
