AEQ FORUM

Digital audio mixer for broadcast applications

4.3. “Programmable Configuration” menu.

This menu allows you to configure the internal routing of audio signals and the functions

associated with the programmable keys, as well as define mics groups, create processes

presets and manage the configuration memories (snapshots) of the unit. Clicking on the section

“Programmable Configuration” on the main screen of the configuration software, a list of

submenus is deployed on the left side of the workspace which include:

• “Routing Configuration”: allows you to define the cross points between input channels

or internal summing buses and output channels or internal summing buses.

• “Programmable Keys”: allows you to configure the actions associated to each of the

15 programmable keys that are located in the Control and Monitoring section of AEQ

FORUM.

• “Mic Group Configuration”: allows you to define microphone groups.

• “Preset Configuration”: allows you to create default settings associated with the

various processing capabilities of AEQ FORUM: equalizers, filters, compressors/limiters

and noise gates.

 “Snapshot Configuration”: allows you to manage the configuration memories stored in

the unit.

IMPORTANTE NOTE: In order to access to any of these submenus, it’s neccesary to have a

configuration loaded in the application (in case there’s no configuration, the message “Empty

configuration. Please read configuration before use” is displayed). In order to have a

configuration in the system, you have to either connect to AEQ FORUM console and read its

configuration or load a configuration by means of “Import” option (see section 4.1.1 of this

manual; you can find the “DemoConfiguration.FSC” file in C:\Program files

\ForumSetup\Demos).

4.3.1. “Routing Configuration” submenu.

“Routing Configuration” submenu is accessed, from the drop-down menu “Programmable

Configuration”, by clicking on the icon:

“Routing Configuration” submenu allows you to define the cross-points between input channels

or internal summing buses and output channels or internal summing buses. The entire set of

cross-points available on the mixing console is arranged in a table with the following fields:

• “Id Routing”: internal numeric identifier for the input channel or the summing bus.

• “Routing”: "LABEL" of the input channel or summing bus. Please refer to sections 4.2.2

and 4.2.3 of this manual.

• “Type”: type of channel used in the cross-point: “Input” for input channels and “Mixer”

for internal summing buses.

• “Id Output”: internal numeric identifier for the output channel.

• “Output”: "LABEL" of the output channel. Please refer to Section 4.2.3 of this manual.
