6.17 diamond - Conference and N-1
The number of N-1/mix minus returns is determined by the configuration.
By default,
each
source’s
N-1 is generated from the programme bus so that the source hears PGM 1 minus
themselves.
The conference system allows one or more conference buses to be configured for particular sources. Each source added to
the conference then receives an automatically switched mix-minus feed:
When a conference member is on-air, they hear PGM 1 minus themselves.
When two or more conference members are off-air, they hear the conference bus minus
themselves. This
allows the
sources to hear each other before they go on-air.
The rest of this topic describes the N-1s and conference system defined in the standard configuration. The operation may
vary if the configuration is customized.
Operation
In the standard configuration, each of the following sources supports an N-1 return: Mic 1 to 8, Tel 1 & 2, Codec 1 to 6.
By default, each source receives PGM 1 minus
themselves. Sources
can be added to the conference system using the
Conf
keys (on the fader strips) or
Conference
buttons (on the GUI).
The N-1 return level can be adjusted (from the GUI), or you can talk to a source, via its N-1 return, by pressing the fader
strip
TB
key.
Note that, for each codec source, it is possible to change the return signal (from the GUI). This allows you to send a sum
bus or internal tone instead of the N-1 signal.
On the GUI...

Open the 'Source Parameter' dialog box by pressing a fader strip
Access
key, and choose

page.
