manual abstract
For more detailed information about the proper implementation of an ethernet network, review one of the many comprehensive Ethernet networking guides available on the internet. Identify the processor in software Once the software is loaded to the computer and an Ethernet connection has been made to the NE processor, all Ashly NE products installed on that network will be automatically detected and shown in the active device listing on the left side of the Protea software startup canvas. In addition to detecting which models are currently online, any factory installed options are also detected and the software control surface for the new NE product automatically displays available controls for the options present. Note: In the event of multiple processors of the same model on the network, the user can find a single physical unit by right clicking over the unit’s name in the drop down menu or picture on the canvas, and then click , which will flash the Com LED on that unit’s face panel for two seconds. The software scans for active NE devices on power-up, but the user can manually scan at any time as well with at the bottom of the network NE device listing. Also, all NE devices continuously broadcast their availability to the software. All currently connected and active NE products are highlighted in green, while NE products which may be or have been formerly installed but are currently off-line or unavailable show up in red. Individual NE products can be dragged onto the project canvas to simulate physical rack installation groups, but editing each product can be done from either the product list or the canvas. The NE system project canvas The project canvas is used to visually represent and control a fixed physical sound system installation, and can display any of the Ashly NE processors, amplifiers, and remotes used in that system. The user can also place an assortment of isolated control objects such as level faders, single LEDs, meter bars, etc, and map them to specific product functions within that project. Once a control object is placed, right click on it to bring up its properties. Lines, rectangles, text, even image files can be added to create a custom virtual control screen along with the NE products and individual control objects. To see all available canvas tools, right click anywhere over open canvas. Checking allows placed objects to be moved around, while unchecking locks objects in place. Operating Manual - ne24.24M Matrix Processor 8. AUDIO FUNCTIONS 8.1 Input Functions Editing of audio controls is done primarily in Protea System Software. Input and output expansion cards are autodetected, and the software automatically updates to display the current ne24.24M status. Note: Accidental, potentially destructive loudspeaker damage can occur when abrupt changes are made to EQ, filter, or level controls, so plan carefully before making radical changes to a live sound system. The following functions are available on all inputs; Mute, Preamp Gain, Signal Generator, Input Gain, Delay, EQ, Noise Gate, Autoleveler, Ducker, and Matrix Routing. 8.1a Input Mute This turns off the input channel without changing gain settings. When an input channel is muted, that channel’s red mute LED on the face panel is lit. 8.1b Input Preamp This determines the up-front analog gain to an input signal. A good rule of thumb is to allow 20dB of headroom above the nominal input signal level. Clipping occurs at +20dBu, so a microphone nominally generating a -40dBu signal should have +40dB of gain, a 0dBu line level input would be set to 0dB gain, etc. 8.1c Phantom Power +48V Phantom power for condenser microphones can be provided to individual channels by checking the <+48V Phantom Power> box in the preamp block for a given channel. 8.1d Push To Talk Mic This check box and drop down menu selects the back panel logic input to serve as a contact closure input channel engage. 8.1e Signal Generator A selectable 0dBu white or pink noise generator is available just before the input meters and input gain tool. If the signal generator is enabled (uncheck the bypass button), the noise gate for that input is disabled. 8.1f Input Gain Different from the Preamp block, input Gain adjusts signal level from +12dB to Off. Due to limitations within the graphical interface, fine tuning gain settings in 0.1dB steps is accomplished using the on the keyboard. Changes of 3dB are quickly accomplished using buttons. To instantly return a gain setting to 0dB, press . 8.1g Input Delay In large installations or outdoor venues there are often many speakers in various locations to get the best coverage possible. Since sound travels relatively slow through air (1130 ft/s at 20 deg. C), multiple loudspeaker locations can create a situation where the original audio signal, simultaneously leaving all loudspeakers, arrives at a single point in Operating...
