Item Description
1 List of Stage and FOH ports, showing current device assignments.
2 device type drop-down list, contains a list of the available devices to choose from.
3 device ID drop-down list, contains a full list of IDs for the selected device type. Those already in use will be pre xed with the text “(In use)”.
4
device options drop-down list(s), from which you can select the card that is actually  tted in the physical unit. The positions of the drop-down lists are relative to
the card positions in the physical unit.
5 CLOSE button, closes the AES50 Device Con guration window.
>> To add a device or change its set up
1. Click CONFIG to open the AES50 Device Con guration window.
2. Click the port to which you want to allocate the device. For example,
“FOH Port 3 (unused)”. The text in the device type:  eld will change
accordingly. (A port that has no device allocated to it will have the text
“(unused)” after its name.)
3. In the device type: drop-down list, click the type of device.
For example, “DL351A”.
4. In the device ID: drop-down list, click the ID you want for the device.
For example, “ID6”.
5. In the device options: drop-down list, click the type of card  tted physical
unit. For example, “Analogue 8 Input”. If there is more than one device
options: drop-down list, repeat for the remaining ones, making sure they
match the actual cards  tted (DL351 & DL451 only).
6. Click CLOSE.
Con guring The Devices
You have the option to con gure the devices from the Patching screen.
Parameters, such as gain and +48 V phantom voltage, can be adjusted or
switched on/o , respectively, via a device-speci c con guration window.
These con guration settings can be independent of channel data,
as (until patched) they only control the physical unit. If a device is subsequently
patched to one or more channels, the channel(s) control the device,
and vice-versa.
The device con guration area also allows control of audio parameters when the
device is used as a direct connection to another device. For example, FOH to stage
via a digital snake, instead of through the DSP. In this case the settings are also
saved in the show  le and can be automated, even though the signals are not
routed through the control centre DSP.
Device con guration procedure
Although the procedure for con guring the devices is similar, their parameters
are dependent on device type. The procedure for con guring the devices of a
similar type involves:
•
• Opening the con guration window of the device
•
• Selecting one of the device’s cards/channel ranges and con guring
the available parameters
•
• Repeating for the other cards/channel ranges of the device
•
• Repeating for the other devices
•
• Closing the device’s con guration window.
>> To open the con guration window of a device
Click the device’s spanner button.
>> To set up/change the con guration of an I/O device
1. Open the con guration window of the I/O device you want to con gure.
2. Select the I/O device from the drop-down list at the top of the
con guration window.
