6.4.8 SMX Interrupts Function (SMX-6 Mixers Only)
(Figures 6.13 and 6.15) This is a rarely used function that enables an SMX-6 mixer to generate a “pseudo”
interrupt whenever an input is being overdriven (overloaded) by an input signal. A signal must be greater than
+20 dB for this to occur. The remedy for such a problem is to turn down the hardware gain control of the affected
input on the back panel of the SMX-6 mixer. Only older versions of Crown’s IQ–MSD Sys-Config software used
this feature. This function is not required by current software.
This feature comes with a price: the Channel 2 Output Compressor/Limiter function must be disabled to provide
needed processing power to generate the pseudo interrupts.
SMX Interrupts: The SMX Interrupts function is turned on and off with this control. When it is turned on, a
reminder (Figure 6.15) will be displayed to warn you that the Output Compressor/Limiter function will be disabled
for Channel 2.
The controls for this function are very simple:
