UNIVERSAL INPUT MODULE QUICK GUIDE
This module has two inputs (A and B). The Input Source Display shows the active input in
bold in the top line (the alternate input source is shown in the bottom line). With a Net Card
installed, the module’s input can be a VistaMax source, which is set via the Session file. A
VistaMax source is identified by a blinking dot in the display’s left character. A full-featured
module is shown. A limited-feature version (no Utility bus or Send controls) is also available.
FADER SECTION
This section has the Input Source Display, the buttons for input source selection, Solo, Cue,
On and Off, and the module fader.

ader — A 100mm module level control with dB indications along the left side to show
the relative attenuation. Setting the fader to the red reference line (-12 dB) sets the module
for unity gain. This means a nominal +4 dBu analog input signal will appear as a -20
indication on the meters. This is equivalent to a 0 VU indication on a mechanical meter.

O — When lit, adds the module’s post-fader, post-switch audio to the Solo bus and
interrupts the monitor and operator headphone outputs, but does not affect the on-line
signal, the co-host, or guest outputs. Solo can be a momentary or a latched function. See
page 2-33 (Session module DIP switch settings) for details.

CUE — When lit, routes the module’s pre-fader, pre-switch audio to the Control Room
module’s cue output. This does not affect the on-line signal. When the module is set as a
mic input, the Cue button is momentary. When the module is a line input, the Cue button
is latched, toggling the cue feed on and off.

ON — When pressed, turns the module on, lighting the button and routing the module
audio to the selected buses. Logic control commands (timer reset, start pulse, Cue reset,
etc.), may be initiated, depending upon the SETUP DIP switch settings.

OFF — When pressed, turns the module off, removing the module audio from all selected
buses (except for those set for pre-switch operation). Logic control commands (Stop Pulse,
Off Tally, etc.) may be initiated, depending upon the SETUP DIP switch settings. This button
can also be set to indicate peripheral device status, thus it may not light up when pressed.
