Monitoring
150 APOLLO
Digital Broadcast Production Console
The monitor insert can be placed in the
signal path, or bypassed using controls on
a wild assign panel in monitor mode, see
Fig 2.
To manage the mode of the surround
encoder/decoder use the SEL button
to bring up a remote encoder screen in
the right half of the TFT touchscreen.
The software has specific touchscreen
controls and indicators for three different
models of Dolby unit and the required one
is chosen at the bottom of the panel. The
upper part of the screen provides mode
selection for the chosen unit.
The modes can be chosen by touching
on the buttons which illuminate to show
the current status. It should be noted that
whilst the SDU4 uses latched outputs
from the console, the DP570 and DP564
only show status information as returned
by signals from the encoder/decoder
units.
The control outputs and tally inputs are via
the console’s GPIO system so can also be
used to control other models and brands.
The detailed hardware connections for
remote controlling Dolby units is described
in the Installation Manual. To assign the
GPIO ports use the >Hydra2 Settings
page, filtering the GPO functions to the
chosen relay in a convenient I/O box and
the opto return input to the relevant GPI
function.
