Revolabs Service Plan at the time of the system purchase, or may be purchased separately for each system. The Revolabs HD Control Panel can operate with either a locked or unlocked Executive HD Base Station. When the HD Control panel is connected to an unlocked Executive HD Base Station, the Gold features will then appear on the screen and be controllable by the user. All features mentioned below with a ‘*’ after them are only part of the HD Gold Control Panel.
Note: If the ‘Equipment List’ does not appear after a network scan has been performed, no devices or network connections were found or the connection is not configured correctly. System – Set Box Name: A Box Name may be assigned as a Network ID for each device. This name will be displayed both on the front screen of the Base Station along with the IP address and on the device tab in the HD Control Panel Software. The Box Name can be set by selecting ‘Set Name’ from the ‘System’ menu.
Note: Changes to the IP Configuration will take place once the Base Station’s power is cycled. System – Enable Gold: Each Executive HD Base Station has two sets of features. There are the standard features that are included with the system and the Gold features that require a 16 digit unlock code to enable the addition Gold features. You can use the unlock code to enable the Gold features by select ‘Enable Gold’ from the ‘System’ menu.
Config – Audio Mode: There are two audio modes to choose from when using an Executive HD System. ‘High Definition’ mode (default), which provides 50Hz-14KHz audio, and ‘Max Density’ mode, which provides 50Hz12KHz audio. While ‘High Definition’ mode provides the highest audio bandwidth, ‘Max Density’ mode provides the ability to use more mics in a given area. Note: A change to the Base Station Audio Mode will result in an automatic system reboot.
their previous state of individual mute capability. The ‘Tabletop Master Mute’ mode can be activated by selecting the option in the ‘config’ tab of the device window. Note: When a Master mute is enabled either through the control system or by using Tabletop Master Mute mode, all Base Stations connected with a bus cable and assigned to the same mute group will be affected.
Monitor – Microphone Lock:* Each microphone has individual lock capabilities. By turning on the lock for a specific microphone, the microphone mute button will deactivate leaving the user without the ability to individually control the microphones mute status at the microphone. However, the HD Control Panel Software, as well as any connected Serial Control Processor, will still have the ability to control and monitor all locked microphones. Note: A microphone lock is stored in the Base Station.
Monitor – Versions: This window provides the current firmware versions found in the Base Station. Monitor – DIP Switches: This displays the current state of the base station DIP switches. When a DIP switch is in the ‘OFF’ position the DIP function will remain “greyed out”. When a DIP switch is in the ‘ON’ position, the functionality of that DIP switch will change to BLACK to indicated that the feature is active.
When using a control system, the microphone mutes can be configured to “int. mute”, which mutes the microphone audio inside of the base station, or “ext. mute”, which allows the control system to choose another location for the mute to take place. When “ext. mute” is selected, the microphones will always pass audio no matter their mute state. Note: Both a control system and DSP cannot be connected to a Base Station as a serial control processor at the same time.

Biamp Audia & Nexia When using the Base Station along with a Biamp DSP, you must select the corresponding DSP product line from the “Serial Control Processor” menu in the Revolabs HD Control Panel software. You must also set the RS-232 or Network settings of the Base Station to match the communication settings of the Biamp DSP as well as select the ‘Audio Channels’ of the microphones that the Base Station is to simulate.(i.e. 1-8, 9-16, etc.
So for example, if you set the ‘Audio channels’ for the microphones to 1-8 in the Control Panel, then the Base Station will use the instance ID tag of “MUTE1”, and control the first 8 mutes in that fader block. Note: Instance ID tags are case sensitive and must be entered correctly in order to function properly. A “level block” must be used as the method of muting.
Channels 25-32 Channels 33-40 Revo 25 - Revo 32 Revo 33 – Revo 40 (EU & CN Versions Only) So for example, if you set the ‘Audio channels’ range for the microphones to 1-8, in the Control Panel, then the Base Station will use the DSP channel name of “Revo 1” to control mute for the microphone paired to channel 1 of the Base Station. Note: Channel names are case sensitive and must be entered correctly to function properly.
