A.3 Mic Take-Over Procedure
The following status diagram shows how the mic control take-over mecha-
nism is realized in the OnAir3000. This has to be followed, since it is
firmly implemented in the DNet code.
With the Vista desk, this dialog is handled in the channels Vistonics™
view in order to be able to link a number of channels and do the take-over
handling for all of these channels at the same time (with a ‘gang’).
There is one difference to the OnAir behavior: When a mic source of
another system is patched to a local input channel as long as the mic con-
trol is not taken by another desk (i.e., ‘free’ in the OnAir terminology),
control is automatically given to the local Vista and the mic control pa-
rameters are displayed immediately.
There is a new parameter in the Vistonics™ view (Mic Ctrl) that allows
setting the mic access control to ‘Free’, so that the mic can be controlled by
other systems directly.
