Adjusting Program Input Volume
You receive program input at your panel through the auxiliary options
module, so this module must be present before you can adjust the
program input. If you do not have the auxiliary options module installed
on your panel, the VOL/PROG knob on the function keypad will not
operate.
You adjust the program input volume on your panel’s speaker and
headset with the program volume knob, labeled “VOL/PROG” on the
function key module. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the volume,
counterclockwise to decrease it.
The six LEDs located to the left of the program volume knob indicate
the program volume level. As the volume goes up or down, the number
of LEDs that are illuminated changes. Minimum volume is indicated by
one illuminated LED; maximum volume is indicated by six illuminated
LEDs.
You control the brightness of the six-segment LED with the Display
Brightness settings in the Eclipse Configuration System. Refer to the
Eclipse Configuration System Manual for more information.
Note: You can also use the program volume knob to adjust listen
levels, to scroll through menu items, and to select menu
items. These functions are discussed later in this chapter.
Adjusting Listen Levels
When you need to monitor several incoming sources at once, you can
vary the volume of the sources by setting “listen levels.”
For example, in a control room you may be listening simultaneously to
the lighting department, the sound department, and the tape editing
department, but because you need to cue the director when the show
is ready to go on the air, listening to the tape editing department takes
highest priority. You need to adjust the volumes of the monitored
sources so that the tape editing department is louder than the others.
To do this, you set listen levels.
To adjust the listen level of an incoming source (Method 1):
1. Press the desired listen key.
The listen key becomes bright green.
2. Press and release the VOL/PROG knob.
The listen key becomes dim green and flashes.
3. Press and release the listen key again.
The listen key becomes bright green.
4. Rotate the VOL/PROG knob either clockwise to increase the
source’s volume or counterclockwise to decrease the source’s
volume.
5. When the required volume has been reached, press and release the
VOL/PROG knob to accept the setting.
The VOL/PROG knob
operates in two ways. You
rotate the knob clockwise or
counterclockwise to adjust
volume levels or to scroll
through menu items. You
press the knob in, as if it
were a key, to select items in
a menu.
