EAW DX810 instruction manual Button Section, Assignments Force Ctrl, Logic

Button Section

The Button Section includes the assignment buttons (Force Ctrl, Logic In, Logic Out, Groups, Input Proc, Out Proc, Mute Ind) and the DSP buttons (Combine, Input EQ, Output EQ, Compress, Gate, Delay, X-Over).

Assignments

Force Ctrl

Click this button to open the Force Control window. Input Name: Enter a name for each channel

with the keyboard. It will accept up to 32 characters. Force On Level: Assign a force-on level to each

input, from OFF to +10 dB. Click and drag in the Force On Level box to change the force-on level setting. The force-on action is always relative to the current mix level.

Activate: Choose between Logic In or Gate to activate the Force On or Force Off function. When Logic In is selected, an input can be forced on or forced off by configuring the Logic Input window, or by a remote control configured to force on or off an input. When Gate is selected, an input can be forced on or forced off when its Gate is open.

Force On Priority: Assign a priority level from 1 (highest) to 8 (lowest) for each channel’s force-on function. The default setting is None. A higher priority input can force on or off a lower priority input to its assigned relative force-on or force-off level (see next).

Force Off Level: A force-off level to each input can be adjusted from OFF to +10 dB. Click and drag in the Force Off Level box to change the force-off level setting. The force-off action is always relative to the current mix level (e.g., a 0 dB force-off level means the level will not change).

Grp Name: Enter a name for each group with the keyboard. It will accept up to 32 characters.

Priority: Assign a priority level from 1 (highest) to 8 (lowest) for each group. The default setting is None. Assigning priority to groups is useful if you need to have, for example, a paging microphone force off background music in some zones, but not in others. In this case, assign the paging mic input to a Control Group with Priority 1 level, and a Control Group of designated outputs a Priority 2 or lower level. Note that Input Priority and Group Priority are separate functions, and the force-off level for groups is completely off.

Logic In

Click this button to open the Logic Input window. Make the following settings and assignments in the Logic Input window:

Name: Enter a name for each Logic Input, up to

32characters.

Function: Select one of 8 different functions in

this drop-down box. The functions include Inactive, Force-on, Force-off, Mute Input, Mute Output, Mute Group, Preset Recall, and Combine.

Action: Select whether the particular function selected is momentary, latch on, latch off, or toggling. The selections will vary depending on the function selected for the Logic Input.

Affected I/O: Select the Input, Output, or other parameter that is affected by the Logic function. The selections will vary depending on the function and action selected for the Logic Input.

See Appendix A for a chart of the Logic Input functional combinations available.
