GPIO (general purpose input/output) The Control/Status A and B ports on the

PSR1212 unit. The GPIO Builder is used to program Control/Status A pins.

G-Ware Software The PSR1212’s setup and configuration software.

Hold Time The length of time that a microphone remains on after the voice (input) level drops below the gate ratio. This can be used to prevent the microphone from gating off during brief pauses in speech.

Last Mic Mode Sets the last-activated mic to Last On, Mic 1-8, or Off. The Last

On setting leaves the last-activated mic gated on until another mic input gates on.

Macro A series of user-created instructions, stored within the unit, which can be executed from an RS-232 command or contact closure.

Macro Mode The G-Ware mode that allows you to customize and execute macro commands for a PSR1212 unit or network.

Manual Gating Provides the ability to gate a microphone on or off manually.

Matrix Mixer A mixer that allows routing of any input or combination of inputs to an output or any combination of outputs. In the case of the PSR1212, the matrix mixer permits level control at each cross point in the matrix.

Matrix Screen The Matrix Screen facilitates the routing of any input to any output or combination of outputs.

Maximum Number of Mics Sets the maximum number of mics that can be gated

on simultaneously.

Microphone Activation A condition in which a microphone is gated on.

Microphone Mixing A situation in which audio from mics on different signal lines are mixed together. All mic signals can be mixed to one signal line, any or all outputs, or mixed into separate groups. Mic signals can also be processed together or individually.

Microphone 1 Mode Reverts mic assignment to a designated mic when all mics

gate off.

Min/Max adjust The yellow and blue upper and lower limit arrows on gain scales are used to create minimum and maximum gain level limits. These limits apply only when using relative gain commands; absolute gain commands can exceed the min and max limits. Min and max limits apply to all serially connected control devices and prevent users from adjusting levels beyond the min/max levels provided relative gain commands are used.
