5.2. Glossary

The Ducker function automatically attenuates input signals with lower priority when two or more audio

signals are simultaneously received. This function cannot be used if any of such received inputs is not set for

the Ducker function.

This function activates the set Event when an audio signal is input. No Event is activated when no input

signal exists. If the audio signal drops below a preset level after the VOX function begins operation (i.e. after

an audio signal is fed into the module), the set Event is terminated after approximately 5 seconds.

An "Event" is the unit that defines broadcast pattern and up to 32 Events can be stored.

[ROUTE]

This setting defines which audio input signal is transmitted to which audio output. Multiple outputs can be

selected. Input channels set to priority levels 1 – 7 are for priority broadcasts, while the input channel set to

priority level 8 is for BGM. Set Trigger to "None," "VOX" (D-001T only) or "Control Input" (1 – 12). Selecting

Control Input for Trigger causes the BGM to be activated by pulse trigger, and priority broadcasts to be

operated by level trigger. It is possible to synchronize control inputs and control outputs, with output being

produced as long as the Event is activated.

[BASE]

In this setting, multiple BGM Events are combined into one Base pattern so that they are simultaneously

activated by means of a single activation signal. To use this function, BGM Events (signal routing from input

to output) must be preset in the Route settings.

Up to 4 Route-set BGM Events can be combined into one Base pattern.

Example: Combining Route-set BGM Events Nos. 1, 2 and 3 into one Base pattern, and assigning the

Base pattern to Event No. 4

When BGM Events to which the same output channel is assigned are individually activated, their broadcast

zone depends on the priority setting (first-in-first-out priority, last-in-first-out priority, or mixing) performed in

advance for the Events.

Though BGM Events combined in a BASE pattern are activated simultaneously, the BGM Event with the

smallest input channel number is considered to have been selected first.

Example: Assigning the following two BGM Events to Event No. 3 as Base pattern.

Event 1 = Input 1 Outputs 1 and 2

Event 2 = Input 2 Outputs 2 and 3

In this example, Output 2 is duplicated. However, if system priority is set for "first-in-first-out"

priority, BGM is broadcast to the following zones because Input 1 has a priority:

Event 1 = Input 1 Outputs 1 and 2

Event 2 = Input 2 Output 3

For Trigger, select "None" or "Control Input" (1 – 12). In Base settings, VOX cannot be selected for Trigger

nor can control outputs be synchronized with control inputs. Base settings are not required when only one

BGM program has been set in Route.

Defines the method of stopping BGM broadcasts. Only "Control Input" (1 – 12) can be selected for Trigger.

All current BGM broadcasts are stopped. Control outputs cannot be synchronized with control inputs.

To stop the specified BGM Event set in Route (including the case that the only one Base pattern is

broadcast) when two or more BGM Events are activated, turn off the corresponding input channel at the

unit's front panel.
