Rane ECS v2 RaneWare (RaneWare 2.1) - Manual (Page 18)

RW Manual-18
System 3: Distance Learning
This illustrates a distance learning application using
broadband video that requires reinforcement of the teachers’
Mics. There are 2 teacher Mics and 10 student Mics, a
connection to 3 other classrooms using a video demodulator,
a VCR and a video modulator. The mics are evenly spread
between the ECM 82s. To reinforce the teachers, the Post
Gate Outputs from these mics on the ECM 82A #1 are tied
together and connected to the Input of Port 6 on the ECB 62.
Port 6 is then routed to the Output of Port 3. Since the Output
impedance of the Post and Pre Gates are 300 ohms, tying
these Outputs together creates a passive mixer. Do not use
P3
Prog Contribute when local Mics are routed to Port 3.

RaneWare Setup
The file for this application is called AP3V2.ECS, located
on the RaneWare disk. This file has 8 preset operational
Memories.
Memory 1 - Room
Controller operational
mode. In this mode
all Port Outputs have
their Input select
checkboxes cleared
and all Mic Inputs are
Active and set to
Automatic operation.
This is performed by
selecting the Port
Memory settings from
Preset Memory 1 at
start-up, allowing the
Room Controller to
know the start-up
condition of ECS.
Memory 2 - Selecting this Preset Memory connects the
Conference Room (Port 1) to Video Network 1 (Port 2).
Memory 3 - Selecting this Preset Memory connects the
Conference Room (Port 1) to Video Network 2 (Port 3).
Memory 4 - Selecting this Preset Memory connects the
Conference Room (Port 1) to Video Network 3 (Port 4).
Memory 5 - Selecting this Preset Memory allows the VHS
(Port 5 Input) to be heard at the Program Speakers (Port 1
Output).
Memory 6 - Selecting this Preset Memory connects the
Conference Room (Port 1) to (Port 6).
Memory 7 - Selecting this Preset Memory bridges the
Conference Room (Port 1), Video Network 1 (Port 2),
Video Network 2 (Port 3) and Video Network 3 (Port 4)
together.
Memory 16 - Preconditions the Port Inputs and the Mic Inputs
for alignment.
