CHAPTER 4: Advanced Configuration

Presets

Overview

For many audio conferencing applications, a great deal of system flexibility is needed to meet the challenges presented by changing meeting or conference room requirements. These requirements might include changes in muting, audio sources, room orientation, or room combining. And ideally, these changes are made instantaneously—without interrupting or affecting any meetings in progress.

Using presets enables you to accommodate these changing room requirements quickly and efficiently. When you create a preset, you are essentially creating a single room configuration option. Presets can be programmed with a variety of routing, level, gating, delay, filter, and compression settings to meet specific application requirements. You can change every unit parameter or a select few depending on your room needs. PSR1212 presets are unique in the sense that they operate independently of other presets in the unit. When a preset is run, only the selected inputs/outputs are changed—all other settings in other presets remain unchanged and are not reset. This means you can change audio routing and configuration settings in a room without affecting settings in other rooms (such as gain). You can create up to 32 presets for the PSR1212.

Presets can be executed in a variety of different ways including the Execute Preset utility in G-Ware, the front panel controls of the PSR1212, RS-232 external control devices, RS-485 control devices (ClearOne Control Panel and XAP IR Remote), logic in/out, and contact closure. You can also create macros which can run multiple presets. These options give you tremendous flexibility when designing your installations and will be described in more detail in this chapter.

PSR1212 unit. However, if a preset is part of a macro, it can be activated on a networked PSR1212 unit.

Creating Presets

Presets are created in G-Ware using the Preset mode. To switch to Preset Mode, click the Preset Mode button on the toolbar or the Preset Mode button on the Flow Screen. The Preset Mode window (see Figure 4.2) consists of the Preset Configuration Pane (left side of the window), the G-Ware menus and toolbar (although most options are not available because they do not apply to presets), and the Preset Matrix Screen. There is no Flow Screen in Preset Mode since all configurable settings can be accessed from the Matrix Screen.
