System Configuration
Console Config
Beyond the main 8-fader surface with a monitor section, the system can be expanded with sidecars connected to the underside
of the main. There are three options of sidecars, 8-Fader expansion, 6-fader expansion with Phone control, and the 6-fader
expansion with User buttons. The underside of the main provides two connection points. The system needs to be configured to
use the ports, and this is done through the Console Config link.
What is presented will depend on what is connected. The Function column provides drop-downs to assign the port to an
expansion option. Depending on which options are selected, additional options towards the bottom of the page will appear.
For example the 6-Fader with User buttons will present User buttons configuration. The First column, Fader Order, offers arrows
to move the ordering of the different surface modules. This is so the system numbers the faders in a logical order.
The User buttons options provide configuration of the two sets of 5 buttons. The options are User (LWCP), Livewire, Livewire
Mirror
.
♦
User (LWCP)
is the configuration when planning to use Pathfinder Core PRO to interface with the buttons for
customization of workflows for the facility.
♦
Livewire
with a Livewire number (1-32767)in the GPIO channel field is the configuration when using the buttons
in “node” logic mode. This is to say the buttons play the role of a GPIO port and interface with console logic. The
Livewire number would be shared with the Source number to be controlled.
♦
Livewire Mirror
with a Livewire channel in the following GPIO Channel field is the configuration when using the
buttons in “console” logic mode. A reciprocal mode allowing the buttons to interact with GPIO ports. A button-press
would result in a GPO action and likewise a GPI event would result in illumination of the button. This also requires
any GPIO ports in the network share the same Livewire number assignment.
