fader, press the Enter key.
The Intercom module will
now be available.
The 10-station and
20-station modules as well
as the 10-station film-cap
module are shown here.
The controls are identical
to their rackmounted coun-
terparts.
Operation is nearly
identical to rackmounted
units with the difference
being Element integration
details. The audio source
for the console modules is
the Talkback audio of the
Element (generated by the
CR Microphone). The CR
Headphone and Preview
speaker are used instead of
the headphone and speaker
that is built into the rack-
mount panels. The Ele-
ment’s External Preview
source must be specified as
the Intercom’s Preview Mix
Livewire channel. Chapter
3 provides details on this
topic.
GPIO ports can be as-
signed to the Intercom module or external sources if
desired. IP-Intercom logic signals include an input to
mute the audio feeding the preview system, a logic out-
put to activate whenever the microphone path is muted
as well as a logic output to signal when the intercom
is being signaled (ringing). A logic output is also pro-
vided which follows the front panel Line-Active warning
LED. Please refer to Appendix B: Connecting GPIO
for more information on GPIO.
The web page configuration for the Element inter-
com modules is contained within the StudioEngine or
PowerStation Mix Engine configuration since it is the
Engine that creates and manipulates the intercom audio
streams. Advanced setup of the IP-Intercom modules for
the Element console is covered in Chapter 3.
