outputs with the option to downmix the
output to stereo instead. The mix-minus
of a surround direct output is a true mix-
minus of the whole surround channel or
group.
PFL to Mon and PFL from surround paths
to small LS are surround, (PFL LS output
is still stereo).
An extra 128 mono legs of buss/output
metering (total now 256 mono legs) and
the ability to have up to 128 phase meters
(instead of 3) using 2 mono legs each.
Channel input delay increases to 256
mono legs of 2.73 seconds. There are 2.73
seconds of delay available on each group.
Future releases will allow some of the
delay to be assigned to different places.
To aid this, 6 new buttons will be available
with which to tell the console where to
switch the delay in.
Power consumption and the amount of
heat generated are reduced, and because
far fewer components are used, reliability
is enhanced as there is less to fail.
There are 64 External meter inputs.
External meters on TFT meters can now
be surround. External meters on TFTs can
now be labelled. It is now possible to route
networked sources to external meters.
One opto can now be assigned to up to 10
functions. GPI can be locked once set up
to prevent accidental removal.
I/O - Input - Channel Input screen scroll
with fader assign button presses is now an
option which is enabled/disabled on the
States screen.
I/O - Input screen - Input source lists can
be sorted using column header when
viewing as diagnostics (Rack/Slot/Input).
Edit Net - Config I/O Box screen - A
warning now appears when the network
config has been changed.
Panels - Delay screen - Can now adjust
delay values for the “PC fader” - a different
fader selected than the currently assigned
fader. The Interrogate button on the
screen will not be functional when a PC
fader is being controlled.
Panels - Route screen - Can now control
routing for the “PC fader” - a different
fader selected than the currently assigned
fader.
User - Chan screen - There is a new
button on this screen for assigning delay
to a Wild control. This is so that delay can
be assigned to a Wild Control without
using the delay panel.
Temp All A/B. To view All A or All B
momentarily, so that console displays
revert back to previous A/B pattern
afterwards.
Shaft Default Press - to allow the shaft
press of a rotary control to set the value of
the control to a default. This behaviour will
be enabled/disabled via the front end.
Patch Dependent Input - The selection
of either input 1 or input 2 will only be
allowed from the channel control panel
if the input being selected has a port
attached. The ability to select either input
1 or 2 regardless of port attachment is still
available from the Input Output panel.
Side Chain Listen
Dynamics - Soft Knee and Recovery Hold
Move Fader Strip.
Local inputs to Hydra outputs - Correct
Gain.
Memories can now be restored to a
different location number (Mem-Setup
screen).
Memory filenames include long and short
descriptions.
Modifications to block patching so that it
works for 2 columns at once.
Direct Output now defaults to unity gain.
Screen Maximise correction (for when
windows taskbar is not hidden & Windows
XP display fixes).
PC Backup facility.
V2.2 included:
Delay Work - allowing delay on group
inputs, direct outputs, insert send/return
for channels and groups and insert return
for mains.
Reset faulty DSP after hot swap (Self
Healing DSP).
A change to the way I/O port lists work:
Local I/O and Hydra I/O can occupy the
same list.
More than 64 Hydra ports in one port
•
list
Sets of ports (for surround perhaps)
•
are kept in sequence when port lists
are sorted alphabetically.
Description field for each port,
•
viewable on front end.
Port lists can be saved as user files.
•
Mic open buss allocation moved to •
Options screens (for local and Hydra
ports).
Inputs Usage screen to show all input
connections.
Enable Autofader mode - The user can
enable / disable the auto faders when
they are attached and are being controlled
by the optos, without having to unpatch
either the auto fader or the opto. The spare
button on the Input/Output panel, next to
the Insert In/Out button is used to toggle
between the new ‘Enable Auto Fader’
mode and the current Insert In/Out mode.
When in this new mode the ‘Insert In/Out’
button will enable or disable the currently
attached auto fader.
Clear multiple channels - The ablilty to
