Audio Configuration
♦
Preview In
- define if the Preview mix is mixed into other monitor points.
♦
Preview Mode
- define if Preview feeds the operator headphone in stereo or mono mix to one channel.
♦
Logic Port
- define the Livewire channel number for the monitor logic. This value would be applied to a GPIO port.
Refer to the GPIO section for more specifics on GPIO logic of the monitors. This item is commonly used for ON AIR
lights.
External Inputs
Most of the monitor section is geared around local DSP-produced sources. In some cases there is a need to utilize a source that
is in the AoIP network. This section allows for defining those sources to be called for local use. Note, that a source profile is
needed to be defined to show up in these drop downs. As noted in Source Profile configuration, the Source Availability is used to
help manage if sources are to be used for mix channels, monitor, or both.
♦
External 1 (and 2)
- the monitor section has two EXT buttons as preset buttons to route an external source to the
monitors. Defining a profile from the drop-down sets the source to the EXT button. Typically used for ON AIR tuners
to monitor what is being transmitted on air.
♦
External Talk
- used to defeat the default nature of TALKBACK audio originating from operator microphone channel.
The default assumes that the operator microphone is assigned to a channel on the console. In some cases, the
operator would never contribute audio to a production mix and thus using a channel is costly. This option allows for
defining the operator microphone (or any other source) to be the source when a TALKBACK function is called.
♦
External Preview
- defines the source that would be applied to the Preview mix if an EXT PREVIEW logic state was
engaged. This can be used for Intercom (or other) audio to enter into the monitor section of the console. Triggering
EXT PREVIEW is covered in the GPIO section.
