CALREC Putting Sound in the Picture 23
Mic Open System
When a port, which is assigned to a mic
open bus (On the Options - Port Lists
screens), is patched to a surround spill leg,
the mic open circuit will operate when that
surround spill leg is faded up and routed
to the program output. The system takes
into account the routing and fader status of
both the surround master and its spills, as
both will have an effect on the open path.
Independent Spill Path Control
When a surround master is selected as
the currently assigned fader, the spill
panel will become active and display
the information for each spill leg of
that surround channel. When a spill
leg is selected using its assign button,
settings can be adjusted for just that leg
of the surround channel. Some settings
however, are only adjustable using the
surround master, unless the spill path is
made independent.
Normally, settings for EQ, filters and
dynamics applied to the surround master
affect all the spill legs except LFE.
The LFE spill leg controls its settings
independently of the surround master.
The EQ, FLT and DYN CTRL buttons
on the surround spill panel light when
selected, and are used to allow the
currently assigned spill leg to control EQ,
filters and dynamics independently of
its surround master. LEDs next to the
spill path’s assign button indicate which
functions are independent.
If the spill path is made independent, it
retains the existing master settings until
its own buttons or shafts are operated.
If the EQ, FLTR or DYN buttons are
de-selected, making the spill non-
independent, the spill will immediately
adopt all the same settings as the master
control.
