CALREC Putting Sound in the Picture 171
V1.23 included:
Introduction of new style assignable
monitor panels. The type of monitor
anel fitted must now be chosen in the
configuration. The old and new style
panels cannot be mixed in a console.
The Setup Application is used to select:-
The width, phantom centre and LFE
off settings of the monitor outputs.
The PFL RTB LS.
The Sw 3 Input.
The Main Line Internal/External
settings.
The new monitor panels output 1-6
and Meter 1-3 Labels.
Which monitor outputs work the Mic
Open system.
Which monitor outputs work with
Studio TB.
There are now 4 surround and 4 stereo
outputs. On the standard monitor panels
the Main LS, Small LS, Desk H/P and
Studio LS1 can be surround, but Studio
LS2 and Studio Phones are stereo only.
On the new style monitor panels the Main
LS, Small LS, Monitor Output 1 and 2 can
be surround, monitor output 3, 4, 5, 6 can
be stereo only.
Monitor selector buttons for both style
panels are allocated using the OPTIONS
- MON I/P+TB screen. The selections
allocated are saved with the options. The
Front End must be in ‘Technician Mode
to set the monitor selector buttons on
the standard monitor panels. The new
style monitor panels are updated when
the ‘Save to file Load into Desk’ button is
selected.
The LS Monitor Insert is now operational
(both with the standard and new style
monitor panels). The send ports are
patched on the I/O - OUTPUT - MON,
TB & OSC screen. The return ports are
patched on the OPTIONS - MON I/P & TB
- MON SEL (EXT I/P) screen.
The PANELS -DELAY screen controls
mimic the Input Delay Panel controls,
allowing operation from the sceen. In
addition the screen has buttons to select
the display units as mS, PAL frames or
NTSC frames. Changing the display units
also affects the resolution of the delay
shaft, nudge up and nudge down buttons
accordingly.
Delay controls can be assigned to wild
controls providing that the Delay Panel is
installed. The button press to assign wild
delay controls is not implemented on the
front end screen. If the wild shaft push
feature is enabled on the OPTIONS-MISC
screen, pressing a wild delay control shaft
will toggle the delay in and out. There can
be separate delay resources assigned to
input 1 and input 2 of each channel. The
delay panel shows information relevant to
the active input. During interrogation, the
fader assign button lights if either input
has delay assigned.
Old meter types are now fully supported
including trimod displays. These use the
same allocation system on the options -
meters screen on the front end as the new
TFT meters.
V1.24 included:
The console and rack software now
provide a network redundancy feature
which monitors active network paths
and re-routes audio automatically if the
network path fails. NET->Device Status
screen shows the preferred port and
which ports can be seen by the console.
Networking screens altered to allow a
second IP address to be assigned to a
Hydra I/O Rack. Hydra inputs can be
patched directly to local outputs. Hydra
inputs now work with GPIO system.
Remote mic cut system has been
increased to 5 Mic Busses and now works
with networked inputs. It also now takes
into account the Channel/Group Cut
button.

the user to control auxiliaries from the
screen.

and Aux Output settings of a fader other
than the currently selected fader. The
“PC Fader” can be chosen by the user for
editing on these screens, independently of
the current fader selection.

light PSU fail indicator on the Broadcast
Facilities Panel. This is done via GPO
switching, set up on Options-GPO screen.
