Audio Routing, Mixing and Processing System for Program Production Centres

ARENA DM CONTROL SURFACE

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

3.2.2. Select access area. General data display.

This includes the following data:

• System information:

1. Mixer ID: user interface IP address (control surface).

2. Frame ID: audio engine IP address.

3. Date: date (month, day, year).

4. Time: HH:MM:SS.

• Working configuration information, including active user identification and whether the

user has made any changes or not to the configuration:

5. User: Active user’s name or ID

6. Working Config.: Active configuration label, Modified / Not modified by user.

• Information about the active configuration of the programmable keys “Macros”:.

7. Macro Config.: Label of the current macro file (associated with the programmable

keys).

The information contained in 7 is linked to 6; however, it is possible, if this has been defined

beforehand from the configuration software, to load a different macro file associated with the

same configuration, without affecting the console’s working configuration. This way, the function

of the programmable keys (26) or other configuration elements may be changed at any given

moment without affecting normal operation of the unit.

This main screen gives an estimate of the use of DSP resources. This value corresponds to the

maximum percentage of use of the DSP board that is applying the greatest consumption of

resources for effects at a given time.

Finally, the five keys P1 through P5 provide access to the options at the lower part of screen.

Encoders E1 through E3 do not perform any functions in this screen (except if they have special

programming).
