Short Cut: A right mouse click on a
crosspoint gain box will set the
crosspoint gain to 0dB.
Clear Matrix (Clr) Button -
Clears all matrix crosspoints to
the "Off" state.
Output Gain Tab
The Output Gain tab allows the
output gain levels to be set.
Gain, Outputs 1 - 4 - Allows the
output gain to be set between
+15dB and -63dB or "Off". In
addition to the slide control,
several "quick gain set" buttons
are available for common gains.
The background color of the
output gain box will change from
white to red if the output is muted
by actuation of the Mute Output
function of a programmable input.
The output gain scroll bar, the
quick gain set buttons, and the
Master Output check box associated with the channel will also be disabled while the output is muted.
Short Cuts: A left mouse click on the gain box will set the output gain to 0dB, while a right mouse click will set the output gain
to Off.
Master Output Section
The Master Output section provides a convenient way to apply gain changes to more that one output at a time. The
six buttons (Set to Off, Set to 0dB, Decrease by 1dB, Increase by 1dB, Decrease by 5dB, and Increase by 5dB)
facilitate several common gain manipulations. Their action is applied to any output whose check box is checked. The
Select All and Unselect All buttons provide a quick way to apply gain changes to all channels simultaneously. Note
that the Increase and Decrease
buttons are push-and-hold, and
will increment or decrement the
output gain for as long as they are
held down.
Programmable I/O Setup Tab
The AM8/4 has 13 programmable
inputs and 8 programmable
outputs (available on the 15 pin D-
Sub connector on the rear panel)
which allow control and indication
of a wide variety of AM8/4 func-
tions. Pins 1-8 on the rear panel
D-Sub can be programmed to be
either programmable inputs or
programmable outputs, while pins
9-13 are only programmable
inputs. Only the parameters in
the "Applies To" section which are
associated with each specific
programmable input/output
function will be enabled as you
