Typical Functions
Depending on the configuration, you may have access to some or all of the following
functions.
Conf (Conference)
This key assigns the source onto the conference bus. Once
Conf
is enabled on more than one source, an N-1 mix is
created. This can be routed back to the source (e.g. to their earpiece) so that they can hear the conference mix minus
themselves while off-air.
The
Conf
key has
four possible states. The colors used can be modified by the ON-AIR Designer. The following colors are
used in the standard configuration:
Dim white = conference off.
Dim yellow = conference on for one source (Conf active).
Full yellow = conference on for more than one source (Conf audio).
Full green = conference on and fader open (Conf prepare).
"Conf prepare" occurs if you select
Conf
on an open fader. Nothing happens until you close the fader; once the fader is
closed,
Conf
becomes active.
The conference system is described in more detail later. See Conference & N-1.
AMix (Automix)
This key enables automixing. Once
AMix
is enabled on more than one source, the mix levels are adjusted automatically.
The
AMix
key has two possible states. The colors used can be modified by the ON-AIR Designer. The following colors are
used in the standard configuration:
Dim white = automix off.
Full yellow = automix on.
In diamond, up to 4 independent automix groups can be configured. The group number, and other parameters, are adjusted
from the
AGC
controls when a source is in access.
The automix parameters are described in more detail later. See Automix.
AGn (Auto Gain)
This key enables auto gain (on mic sources). It can be used to set the analog (mic preamp) gain automatically.
The
AGn
key has two possible states. The colors used can be modified by the ON-AIR Designer. The following colors are
used in the standard configuration:
Dim white = autogain off.
Flashing yellow = autogain adjustment is in process.
How to use auto gain is described later. See Using Auto Gain.
TB (Talkback)
This key talks to the source via its N-1 return.
In the standard configuration, the operation is momentary so press and hold the
TB
key to activate
talkback.
The
TB
key has two possible states. The colors used can be modified by the ON-AIR Designer. The following colors are
used in the standard configuration:
Dim white = talkback off.
Full red = talkback on (active).
