8.1i Ducker
A Ducker is used to attenuate the level of selected input channels when one or more
"Trigger" inputs have signal present. Input channels can be set to one of four ducker
modes:
1.) BYPASS - no ducking action applies.
2.) DUCKED PROGRAM - signal present on other "Trigger" selected input chan-
nels act to attenuate this input channel.
3.) LOW PRIORITY TRIGGER - signal present on this input channel attenuates all
other inputs set to "Ducked Program".
4.) HIGH PRIORITY TRIGGER - signal present on this input channel fully attenu-
ates all other inputs set to "Ducked Program", as well as all other channels set to "Low
Priority Trigger".
5.) FILIBUSTER - signal present on this channel fully attenuates all other channels
until the signal drops below its threshold to allow other channels to come on.
TRIGGER THRESHOLD determines the signal level on a trigger input at which point the ducked program is
attenuated. DUCKING DEPTH determines how much attenuation is applied to input channels set up as ducked pro-
gram. DUCKING RELEASE determines the rate at which the attenuation returns to 0dB
after the trigger input signal has stopped.
8.1j Matrix Routing
Any input channel can be routed to any or all output channels, likewise any output
channel can have as its source any or all inputs, limited only by the installed capacity of
input or output expansion modules. To route an input to an output, click and drag from the
input connect box to the desired output connect box (click and drag routing works in both
directions). To delete a connection, click on the connect line and press <Delete> on the
keyboard, or right click on the connection line for the delete prompt. To quickly perform
multiple routing connections or disconnections to the current input channel, hold <Ctrl> and
click on desired individual output channel connect boxes to toggle them on or off. Anytime
a connection is made, the corresponding output mixer level is set to “-inf”, (off).
8.1k Remote Level Control
Each channel can be remotely attenuated through the back panel 0-5V Remote Level
Control pins, or by an Ashly RD8C active remote attenuator connected to
the 4-pin data connector on the back. The Remote Level Controls dialogue
box then allows arbitrary assignment of the remote’s attenuator channels
to the ne24.24M’s audio channel.
8.2 Output Audio Functions
The following functions are available on all outputs: Mixer, High
Pass/Low Pass Filter, Delay, EQ, Gain, Limiter, and Mute.
8.2a Output Matrix Mixer
Output channels can have any or all inputs as sources, and the output
matrix mixer allows the level of each connected input to be adjusted in the
“matrix mix” to each output. Note that for a given output, unlinked inputs
are disabled in the mixer. Adjustment range is from +12dB to off. To set
a level control to unity (0) within the matrix mixer, select an input level
control by clicking on it and pressing <ctrl> + <click> on the level adjust-
ment control. Individual input channels in the matrix mixer can be muted
independently from the main input or output mute blocks.
