Glossary of Terms
Term
Definition
A-B System
The arrangement of two Elemec3 systems to achieve redundancy through coordinated
duplicated operations. The B ‘Redundant’ system may have some amplifiers excluded.
Access Panel
End user interface device to control alarms and generate live speech broadcasts. The
panel is available in three formats19-inch rack mounting, desk mounting, and bulk-
head mounting. Stalk or fist microphones are available.
Access Panel Muting
Method of feedback prevention by way of automatic disconnection of local speakers
during an access panel live speech broadcast. Disconnection employs an output of an
I/O controller.
Amplifier
Device containing one or two amplifier channels.
Attenuate
To reduce the broadcast volume by a specified amount. Attenuate audio on-demand
(from an access panel), or by a higher priority event (in accord with the Global Audio
Mix setup).
Aux 1Aux 5
Designations for the five auxiliary audio channels (inputs to the controller).
IPAux 1IPAux 8
Designations for the eight IP auxiliary audio channels (inputs to the controller).
Configuration
A named collection of settings that describe system behavior. The Elemec Console
application creates, modifies, and manages configurations. Store the configurations in a
directory. A configuration consists of a main file (config.db) plus several audio
message (.mp3) files.
Controller
The central device of the PAGA system that coordinates audio routing and event
activation requests in accord with the configuration.
Contingent Override
A type of event group that automatically substitutes a general event to occur if multiple
specific events initiate.
Elemec3 Portal
Software application that provides for viewing of an Elemec3 system’s status, for
initiating Tick Tone, and for managing Configuration updates.
Event
A defined set of actions that an E3 controller performs. An event may generate audio,
route audio, and activate outputs. Set up events using the Elemec3 Console application.
At any given time, an event in the system is either active or idle. Each event has many
characteristics that govern the system’s response to the activation of the event and to the
event’s progression. Event types include live speech, playback, record/playback, silent,
and external.
Event Chaining
Elemec3’s mechanism for allowing an Event to trigger another Event, with the
possibility of the trigger being dependent on the state of an input, an output, or a Flag.
A sequence of activations setup through chaining of Events.
Event Group
A collection of Playback Events.
Fault
The system detects trouble conditions. The Elemec3 Console categorizes faults as
either Normal or Urgent (or Ignore) depending on their severity level. Set a fault to
ignore if it is insignificant; the Elemec3 Portal application does not display faults se t6o
ignore.
Global Mute
Time-limited suppression of audio in accord with one of four preset settings.
Global Settings
A group of configuration settings, on the System Properties pane, that governs overall
operation of the controller.
Inhibit Group
A group of inputs that another input inhibits.
Insert 1 and 2
An audio processor such as an equalizer or feedback eliminator connected to the
Elemec3 system, inserted into one of the two mix channels.
