4.2.12 Meter Ballistics ...................................................................
Touching the Meter Ballistics button in the Setup menu opens the following panel:
This allows ballistics to be altered for all meters on the bridge and screens using the up/down arrows on the panel.
VU Default sets Attack and Release to 300ms.
PPM Default sets Attack to 41ms and Release to 416ms which are the engine defaults.
Peak Hold time can be adjusted to a value between 10 and 9999ms
4.2.13 Restart and Recovery ........................................................
When changes are made to a session it is important to save the session regularly as the recovery process uses the last saved
session.
In the unlikely event of a console software crash, an abnormal shutdown, hardware or power failure, D5T will recover the latest session
automatically and it can be rebooted without losing audio.
If there is any problem with this process, holding the keyboard Shift Key during the reloading of D5T software will open the following
panel:
IMPORTANT NOTE: The easiest method of doing this is to Quit To Windows and then reload D5T software from there.
If you are holding the SHIFT Key when Windows is reloading, the D5T Surfaces program and D5T software itself will not load automati-
cally.
If this situation occurs be sure to restart Surfaces.exe from the Windows Start menu before loading D5T software.
This allows the options of:
1) Rebooting the audio engine or worksurface.
2) Recovering the last session from NVRAM and last saved session file.
2) Loading from the last startup session file.
3) Not loading any file and creating a default stereo console.
4.3 Talkback
The console includes a built-in talkback microphone socket situated in the top right hand corner of the worksurface, and there is an input
socket provided on the rear panel for a 2nd remote talkback microphone. There are two Talkback channels, A and B, and both can be
activated by buttons on the worksurface in conjunction with three Talback Feed Presets, labelled a,b and c. Both channels are controlled
by a level control on the worksurface.
