16 IPX Series Quick Start Guide 17
Global
The Global view shows all devices on the network and accesses the following
functions:
• Naming devices (ampliers) and groups
• Forming groups of devices
• Creating and deleting groups
• Muting ampliers individually or in groups
• Power On/O individually or in groups
• Monitoring of output levels
• Devices selected for a group are controlled simultaneously from any of the
device UI:s in that group.
Device Header
The device header panel appears at the top of each conguration window
for a selected device. The header panel accesses the following functions and
information:
• Return to Global
• Power on/o
• Output mute (per channel)
• Device name
• Online/Oine indication
• IP address
• Temperature reading
• Current preset
• Preset store and recall (device or computer)
Input Mixer
The Input Mixer view accesses the following functions:
• Device set-up (stereo or 2-way mode)
• Input mixing
• AES3 to analog failover on/o
Levels
The Levels view accesses the following functions:
• Input Mix Bus Levels
• Output levels
• Output limiters
• Linking of inputs and outputs.
Input EQ
Input E Q view is selectable per channel. Input EQ accesses the following
functions:
• Parametric equalizer (up to 10 bands)
• Output level status
• Input delay (up to 2 sec)
Front panel configuration
Input mixing and routing, as well as all DSP parameters, may be congured using the Menu and Back buttons and the Adjust/Set rotary encoder (see Fig. 3 below):
IPX Controller software and network conguration
Software and App Downloads and Installation
For download of the IPX Controller software for Mac and PC, please visit
www.labgruppen.com. Instructions for installation are available via this link.
The IPX Controller app for iPad Is available from Apple in the App Store.
Network conguration
A network of IPX ampliers may be congured using standard, o-the-shelf
Ethernet router and shielded Cat-5 cabling. If the router is WiFi enabled, the IPX
amplier network will be accessible using an iPad or laptop computer running
IPX Controller software.
The IPX network employs a star topology only. Each amplier must be connected
individually to the router.
Network conguration is automatic. Each amplier is identied by a unique
IP address, which is shown in the Global view and the device header panel of
IPX Controller.
Input mixing/routing and DSP conguration using IPX Controller
All input mixing /routing functions and DSP conguration parameters are accessible and adjustable using IPX Controller software. The device header panel appears at
the top of each conguration window for a selected device.
