7.7.14 Amplifier Information
Information about the amplifier is stored in the software
system inven tory and is displayed on the software
control panels. Information includes manufacturer,
model, date code, and serial number. The green items
can’t be edited.
Channel Labels: Each amplifier includes two labels
that you may edit for your own use. Simply type in the
text areas. Use these labels to describe the channels of
your amplifier. These names will appear in the individual
processing blocks.
Attenuator Limits: This lets you set a limit on the
attenuators. You can set the maximum attenuation from 0
dB to –100 dB. Once set, attenuation cannot be adjusted
beyond this level.
NOTE: The attenuator setting must be below the
attenuator limit that you are trying to set. For example, if
the attenuator is set at –3 dB, you cannot set the
attenuator limit below –3 dB unless you decrease the
attenuator level.
Front Panel Display: This button lets you blackout the
front panel display until you press a front-panel button or
turn an Encoder. This feature turns off the LCD backlight
and all front panel LEDs except for the fault LEDs and
power-switch green LED. After blackout mode is enabled,
an Encoder press/turn will “reactivate” the display. If no
button is pressed/turned for over 5 seconds, the display
will return to blackout mode.

7.8.15 Apply to Others
This screen lets you apply the System Architect settings
for your I-Tech HD amplifier to other I-Tech HD ampli-
fiers in the venue file.
7.8.16 Delay (Latency)
Due to the nature of DSP processing, there is some inherent delay or latency within
the I-Tech HD’s DSP. These latencies are shown in Table 3 below:

These latencies do not include CobraNet Transport Latency and FIR Processing
Latency.
