Operating as One Automixer with Multiple Vortex Devices

To operate the Vortex device in any of the above possibilites, two global parameters need to be changed: the AUTOMIXER and the BUS MIXER (see Figure 14). The AUTO- MIXER parameter chooses which automixer the input channel will be on (this is changed either on the AUTOMIXER page in Conference Composer or on the MATRIX MIXER page).

The BUS MIXER parameter is used to assign one of the two internal automixers to one of the EF Bus automixer groups. For example, consider three Vortex devices, each of which has 2 microphones assigned to Automixer 1 and 2 microphones assigned to Automixer 2. Now, if each of these devices sets their Automixer 1 to have Bus ID 5, then the three automixers (one from each device) will work as a single automixer con- taining 6 (3 x 2) microphones. Setting BUS MIXER to 0 means that the automixer is not grouped on the EF Bus.

To set the Vortex device to operate as an independent automixer (or two), set the BUS MIXER parameter to 0, or to a number that is different from any other automixer group on the EF Bus.

To set the Vortex device to operate as one automixer across several devices, set the BUS MIXER parameter on all devices to the same automixer group.

Default Settings

In the default preset (Preset 0), the Bus Mixer for Automixer 1 is set to 1 and the Bus Mixer for Automixer 2 is set to 2. This means that in the default mode, all linked devices will work together as one complete automixer.
