Cue/Comms in Prefade or Off-line Monitoring Mode
The Cue function can be used in the typical way as a ‘prefade’ function. In other
words, the user is able to cue things up ‘offline’, i.e. CD players and other
external audio sources. In the following setup there are two inputs set up for
announcers and the
Aux
input is set up for an external mono program source. If
a
SOFTKEY
has been programmed to activate the
Cue/Comms
matrix for the
Aux
input, then every time it is pressed it will activate off-line or prefade
monitoring of the
Aux
input in
HP1R
and
HP2R
.
Aux
input audio levels will also
be monitored on
PPM2
.
Figure 85: The Manual Default Cue/Comms Aux Matrix as Viewed in View Matrix
In the preceding example, the
Manual Default Cue/Comms Aux
matrix has been
selected using the
Matrix Map
menu. This matrix has been used for the
Aux
input
in all the manual default profiles.
32.6.
Cue/Comms as ‘Local’ Intercom
Typically local intercom is set up so that commentators can talk amongst
themselves at their own codec, without going ‘to line’ or talking to another codec.
In the following example, the
Cue/Comms
matrices for
Inputs 1 & 2
have been
set so that when the cue function is activated for each of these inputs, audio from
the commentators will be monitored in the right ear of both
HP1 & HP 2
only.
Audio levels will also be monitored on
PPM 2
.
Figure 86: Local Intercom Using Manual Default Cue/Comms Matrices
The matrices used in the preceding example were
Manual Default Cue/Comms
1 & 2
. These matrices have been applied, as displayed above, in all the manual
default profiles except
Man Dflt Mono/IFB
and
Man Dflt Stereo
.
