  • Page 6: Introduction

    Introduction 1 Introduction About this Manual This manual describes the installation and operation of the Logitek Mosaic control surface. Intended Audience This manual is aimed at Engineers responsible for installing, configuring and supporting a Logitek Console Router System with the Mosaic surface.

  • Page 7: About Mosaic

    The Mosaic surface is based on a series of modules that can be configured to suit the user’s requirements. These modules include:...

  • Page 8: System Requirements

    Whilst Supervisor is not a requirement to run a Logitek Console Router System, most systems are now sold with this PC suite, as it unlocks the true power of the Logitek system. The Mosaic surface contains many programmable buttons, which require scripting using CommandBuilder. The functionality for these buttons is then executed by Supervisor.
  • Page 9 Introduction Compatibility Matrix Mosaic is designed for use with Logitek Audio Engine 3.x or later. The Mosaic retains compatibility with other surfaces for the majority of its features. Support for Mosaic specific additional features has been progressively added to other components of the system.

  • Page 10: Unpacking

    The exact list of parts received will vary depending on your order, but should generally include: 1 x Mosaic Power Supply fitted with one PSU module, or two PSU modules (option) 1 x fully assembled Mosaic frame, containing modules as ordered...

  • Page 11: Physical Installation

    Physical Installation 3 Physical Installation The Mosaic surface is designed to be mounted in a desk cutout in a permanent studio installation. The Meter Bridge can be screwed to the desk and mounted using the supplied mounting brackets. Power Supply Unit The Power Supply Unit is a 2-RU sized rack mount box, designed for mounting in an under-desk studio rack.

  • Page 12: Mosaic Cutouts

    Logitek Physical Installation Mosaic Cutouts The Mosaic frame should be fitted into a desk, using the cutout sizes below. The height of the cutout remains the same for each frame size – only the width varies. MLX-F10 The MLX-F10 frame has capacity for 10 units. Suggested 0.50in...
  • Page 13 The MLX-F32 has capacity for 32 units. Suggested configurations include: 24 faders / Wide Softkey / 2 x Narrow Softkey / Processing / Monitor The required desk cutout for the MLX-F32 is 45.2.0 x 18.4in / 1148 x 467mm. Logitek Mosaic Reference Manual...

  • Page 14: Meter Bridges

    23.6” W x 3.8” H x 2.6” D (599 mm x 97 mm x 66 mm) The 2 module slot riser adds 4.8” (122 mm) to the height Figure 7 - Mosaic Wide Bridge with button riser Logitek Mosaic Reference Manual...

  • Page 15: Connections

    Physical Installation Connections The Mosaic Power Supply Unit contains the control and GPI circuitry for the console. It connects to the Logitek Audio Engine via a serial link. The Power Supply Unit connects to the Surface using one or two 25-pair “Telco” cables. These cables carry the communication between each module and the Power Supply Unit.
  • Page 16 DB9 connection at the Audio Engine. The Mosaic is supplied with a CAT5 patch lead, to connect the AE-C6 to the Mosaic Power Supply Unit. This lead is sufficient for testing purposes; however, the Audio Engine will normally be located away from on-air studios.
  • Page 17 Wiring is straight-through style, with Pair 1 corresponding to GPI #1 and so on. A male AMP style 50-pin connector is required to connect to the Mosaic Power Supply Unit. We suggest ordering a single-ended cable with tails for punch-down to Krone style block or similar. There is one connector for GPI inputs and another for GPI outputs.

  • Page 18: Configuration

    COM port to connect to the Meter Bridge. By default, the Device Address to Com Port map is set inside the Mosaic Power Supply Unit firmware, and will suit most installations. The defaults are shown on the following page. Mosaic v2 adds the ability to change the Com Port mapping, using hex commands sent from Supervisor.

  • Page 19: Device & Bus Addressing

    Device Number and Bus Number for each button or lamp. The information below will help you determine the addressing scheme in use on your Mosaic. As the layout of the Mosaic is extremely flexible, the addressing will vary and is usually unique to your station.
  • Page 20 This feature is planned for future implementation. In a Dual Control environment, the Mosaic PSU would connect to the two surface frames via the “Surface A” and “Surface B” connectors. Up to 16 faders could be supported on each surface, with mirrored Monitor Module, Wide Softkey and Meter Bridges in each.
  • Page 21 Riser. In this case the bus addresses do not change, but if the small Softkeys are on the left, the bus numbers run from right to left. There is nothing to stop the user from mounting the MLX-NSOFT module the other way, with the small softkey panel on the right hand side. Logitek Mosaic Reference Manual...

  • Page 22: Operation

    Operation 5 Operation At first glance, your Logitek Mosaic may appear a little daunting. But if you’ve had experience with broadcast consoles before, you’ll soon be at home, finding your way around quite easily. Logitek Electronic Systems has been manufacturing broadcast consoles for decades, so we understand how to make control surfaces that are both powerful and straightforward.

  • Page 23: Mosaic Fader Modules

    ON/OFF switch and/or the Fader gain setting. The color of the Mosaic ON/OFF buttons is software configurable, to allow for input designation, state change, or other effects. In Mosaic v2, the ON / OFF buttons can be configured to swap positions. Logitek Mosaic Reference Manual...
  • Page 24 The Fader Module has an LCD color screen shared between two faders. Illustrated below is the section for a single fader. The Mosaic is also supplied with vMosaic, a software tool which allows the fader screen to be replicated onto a PC screen for larger display.
