page of the IC.20. The Key Assign page will now con-
tain the additional keys that belong to the expansion
chassis. An example of the IC.20 Key Assign when used
with a single IC.10X expander is shown in Figure 3-15.
It is possible to use more than one expansion chassis
however each chassis must be assigned to a unique range
of keys as specified in the Intercom Expansion Configu-
ration page.
Remember that an IC.10X is an expander and cannot
be used as a standalone unit since it has no audio connec-
tions. It shares the audio connections with its associated
IC.20 station.
Element IP-Intercom Modules
The IP-Intercom modules for the Element come in
three formats:
• 20-station OLED Element intercom module
• 10-station OLED Element intercom module
• 10-station Film-Cap Element intercom module
IP-Intercom modules do not have a separate IP ad-
dress since they are CANBus accessory panels that are
associated with a specific Element console. The configu-
ration of Element Intercom modules is very similar to
the standalone intercom stations.
The example shown in Figure 3-16 is for the 20-sta-
tion Element module when used with a PowerStation.
There is a lot of information on that page - we will dis-
cuss the four sections independently
Note: Element IP-Intercom Module congu-
ration web pages are actually associated with
the StudioEngine or PowerStation Mix Engine,
not the Element. Use the Intercom tab on the
StudioEngine or PowerStation to locate the IP-
Intercom module conguration.

Intercom Main and Alternate Labels
Each channel label can be up to 10 characters max-
imum. An alternate label can also be entered for each
channel. The user will see the alternate label (if any) by
default. A typical example might be to use locations for
the default labels and user names for the alternate labels.
If an alternate label is assigned to a port, the channel
label only appears during assignment and configuration
functions.
Livewire Channel Number
This is the channel number of the Intercom station’s
audio source. This number is used to identify the audio
stream in the Livewire network so it must be a unique
number.
Preview Mix Channel Number
This is a second Livewire channel that must be speci-
fied. It is a new Livewire source created by the IP-Inter-
com station and this source must be delivered to your
Element as it’s External Preview source channel. The
channel number that you specify here must be used to
create an Element Source Profile that will be specified as
the Source ID for External Preview in the Show Profile
General Monitor Settings.
It is not necessary to use a GPIO input to enable the
External Preview since this logic is handled automati-
