6-3 6.1.1 Loading the first CUE ■ To load the first cue from the Sample Show, press the PageDn button on your computer (this is a short-cut key). An alternative way of recalling a cue is to go to the Cue window (to open this window select View>Cue from the pull down menu), left-click with the mouse to select the desired cue number (1.00, 2.00 etc.), then right-click and select Recall Cue. Hint: PageDn loads the next cue, while PgUp loads the previous cue.
6-4 ■ From the Console View window, left-click over both the Module 1 and Frame 1 icons to bring the D16 windows (for D16 #1) into view. Configurations of either D16 input or output matrices result in two separate windows being displayed for each D16. The first represents the channel strips (known as the Module Frame), while the second is a fader window (known as the Fader Frame.
6-5 This Module Frame window is configured as a D16 input matrix. Use the scroll bar located at the bottom of the window to scroll across all 16 channels. A further 16 blank panels can also be viewed. These positions are only used when the D16 is configured as an output matrix. NOTE: The resolution of the computer display will determine how much detail can be viewed at any one time. With higher resolution screens (such as 1400x1050 or higher) it is possible to view 16 channels at a time.
6-6 The fader view operates in a similar manner to the Module Frame window. The Fader Frame window enables access to all 16 input and 16 output faders by using the scroll bar located at the bottom of the window. Input Faders come with white fader caps. Output faders come with red fader caps.
6-7 When configured as an output matrix the first 16 module positions within the module frame window consist of the D16 input stage and matrix send controls. Whilst the second set of 16 module positions provide the output dynamics, delay and EQ controls which are sourced post matrix sends. Use the scroll bar located at the bottom of the module frame window to scroll between input and output channels. The fader view operates in a similar manner to the Module Frame window.
6-8 6.1.2 Changing D16 module Parameters ■ To change any of the D16 switch parameters within the Module Frame window, left-click the mouse over the switch on the desired channel. The new status of the switch will be displayed, although more detailed information can be viewed within the module detail window. Example: Switch status for Matrix Send source selection.
6-9 ■ To change any of the rotary values double-click over the module (making sure not to click over a switch). This will bring up a Detail View (see below) which provides a greater degree of module information and allows all parameters to be changed. Holding the mouse pointer over any of the potentiometers will open a “ToolTip”, showing the current value of the potentiometer. ■ To change the value of the potentiometer left-click the mouse over the pot and drag the mouse.
6-10 6.1.3 Changing D16 Fader Parameters ■ To change any of the D16 fader values via SAM, from the Fader Frame window double-click over the desired fader. This will bring up a detail window, which allows all parameters to be changed. ■ To change any of the PFL and MUTE switches, place the mouse pointer over the desired switch and left-click. The new status of the switch will be displayed as per traditional physical back lit switches.
6-11 6.1.4 Global Update of parameters NOTE: Global Update is a very powerful editing feature with which you may extensive changes to your show file. The section below is a simple introduction, it is suggested that reference is also made to the full detailed explanation within the SAM User Guide . The Global Update feature within SAM allows selection of various parameters over multiple channels simultaneously. This, therefore, is a highly useful feature, when wanting to set the D16 into an initial state.
6-12 ■ Click over the switch you want to change until it displays the desired setting. Double-click over the potentiometer that needs changing and input the desired value, in dB, in the Set Pot Value window. Then click on Apply Selected. Entering a numerical value for Aux16. ■ To action the update process, click on the Update button within the Global Update window.
6-13 6.1.5 Updating a fader level This operation is identical to using Global Update on channel parameters. The only difference is that it is possible to update the fader value by dragging the fader cap up and down.
6-14 6.1.6 Target Edit The Target Edit feature within SAM allows simulteneous control of single, multiple (or even differing parameters) over single/multiple channels, all directly via the Frame Views within SAM. This is a highly useful feature, especially when operating SAM via a Tablet PC as the operator does not have the benefit of using a mouse to access the Detail View windows. Example: Controlling a D16 output matrix via a wireless Tablet PC.
6-15 6.1.7 Opening Target Edit The function of Target Edit is to allow the operator to control any fader or potentiometer parameter directly from the main Module and Fader Frames within SAM. Therefore avoiding the need to delve further into the system (i.e. opening Detail Views) in order to change these parameters. NOTE: The following instructions apply to using a mouse. However, if using a stylus then the equivalent to a right-click of the mouse is to briefly hold the stylus pen to the screen.
6-16 6.1.8 Using Target Edit to alter single potentiometer values. ■ Open the Target Edit window. ■ Select which potentiometer you want to alter and left-click the mouse over it. The selected control will then be contained within a red box. ■ The Target Edit window displays the Module name, Control name and current Value. Channel 4, Auxiliary 9 with a current Control Value of -65dB ■ Left-click on the - and + buttons to alter the potentiometer Value, or press the + or - keys on your keyboard.
6-17 6.1.9 Using Target Edit to alter fader values. ■ Open the Target Edit windown. ■ Select which fader you want to alter and left-click the mouse over it. The fader will then be contained within a red box ■ The Target Edit window displays the Module name, Control name and current Value. Channel 5, Fader with a current Control Value of -infinity (i.e. closed) ■ Left-click on the - and + buttons to alter the fader Value.
6-18 6.1.10 Using Target Edit to alter multiple values. With Target Edit it is possible to select and control multiple parameters simultaneously. Examples are: (GLW#PXOWLSOH#SDUDPHWHUV#ZLWKLQ#D#VLQJOH#0RGXOH1 (GLW#D#VLQJOH#SDUDPHWHU#RYHU#PXOWLSOH#0RGXOHV1 (GLW#PXOWLSOH#SDUDPHWHUV#RYHU#PXOWLSOH#0RGXOHV1# ■ Open the Target Edit window. ■ Select which parameters you want to alter and while holding down the Shift key, left-click the mouse over them. It is possible to select both potentiometers and faders.
6-19 ■ Check the Fine Adjustment box to enable parameter values to change at a finer resolution. NOTE: When multiple controls of differing values are being adjusted (Value field displays Multiple), each parameter value is being adjusted relative to the number of times the - and + buttons are being pressed. i.e. they maintain their individual settings plus or minus their relative adjustment.
6-20 When linking channels a confirmation window will appear to warn that parameters within the selected module will be copied to either the module to the left or right. ■ Click OK to continue or Cancel to return to the main window. A graphic link above the selected channels is then displayed within the Module View window to indicate which channels are linked. ■ Repeat this procedure where necessary for stereo linking both channel modules and fader modules.

APP-6 CADAC USB ReProgramming Utility CADAC will, from time to time, release firmware updates for the D16 in order to improve performance and enhance facilities. Your local CADAC distributor will keep you informed when such updates are available. The following sections explains how to install the new firmware into the D16 using the USB ReProgramming Utility. Before any update can take place, it is important to make sure that neither SAM Configuration nor Sound Automation Manager is running on the system.
APP-7 Running the Sam ReProgramming Utility Make sure that the D16 is switched on and the USB cable is connected to both computer and D16. ■ Click on the Start button on the Windows Taskbar. ■ Select All Programs > Sound Automation Manager > USB ReProgramming Utility. The reprogramming application SamFlasher will open.
APP-8 SamFlasher will interrogate the USB port and display which devices are attached. In this case it will be the D16. Details of the D16 will be displayed, giving Unit ID, Unit Description, Unit Serial Number and currently installed firmware version. To install the new firmware version, first highlight the unit that requires updating by clicking over the Unit ID number. This will highlight the unit and display the unit serial number within the File box.
APP-9 Once selected, the file details will be displayed in the File box, giving file description, file size and date of release. With the file location specified and the desired unit for firmware update highlighted, left-click on the START button. This will initiate reprogramming of the firmware. IMPORTANT: WHEN UPDATING FIRMWARE, DO NOT RUN ANY OTHER PROGRAMS, ALSO DO NOT REMOVE POWER OR ANY CONNECTIONS, OTHERWISE THE FIRMWARE UPDATE WILL BE INTERRUPTED AND THE D16 MAY NO LONGER OPERATE.
APP-10 F16 DC Master Assignment Interface Unit The F16 is a simple 1U rack mount unit designed to interface the analogue voltages of a Cadac console’s DC Master faders to the digital control environment of the D16. An additional feature of the F16 enables D16 integration with select third-party consoles or custom built third-party control interfaces. NOTE: The F16 is shipped from the factory with rubber feet mounted on the underside of the chassis.
APP-11 Operating Modes Master The Master mode enables the F16 to connect directly to one, or more, D16 units without the need to enumerate communications addresses. NOTE: The Comms and Error LEDs do not operate in Master Mode. Slave This mode is not implemented. Connectors The rear panel is equipped with the following connectors: XLR Male and Female These connectors provide the Cadac RS-485 communications bus on XLR connectors. They are labelled RS485 to indicate that they are NOT audio connections.
APP-12 Fader Bus and Data Bus A Connections These two 25-way female ‘D’ type connectors are designed to plug directly onto the identically named connectors on the back of a Cadac J-Type console where they gain access to the DC Voltages generated by the console’s DC Master faders and other logic functions. NOTE: Only voltage control has been implemented at this time and therefore it is only necessary to connect the Fader Bus to the console.
APP-13 F16 Software Version To check the software version of the F16 press and hold the MODE button for 3 seconds. Both the MASTER and SLAVE LEDs will flash and the Fader Open LEDS will display a 16-bit binary number. Software versions are usually defined as a number such as V1.23 where the pre-decimal point digit(s) are incremented for major changes to the software and the post-decimal digits are incremented for minor changes to the software.
