Then, the INPUT selector defines the MIMO88 audio input your MPAGE16 console microphone will be
connected to in order to send voice messages. The list shows the 8 or 16 available inputs of the system,
depending on the 8x8 or 16x16 configuration (2 MIMO88s linked as MASTER-SLAVE). It is highly
recommended to use a high-pass filter to process this input (120 or 150 Hz) in order to eliminate a great
part of the ambient noise and LF interferences from the incoming signal, especially in applications with
long runs of wiring. See section: 7.5.3. PARAMETRIC EQ.
The PRIORITY selector determines the module priority level between 1 and 4, level 1 being the highest
priority. In a configuration with two consoles having different priority levels, each using one PAGER
modules, the console with the highest priority may interrupt the lower priority one in case of overlapping in
the destination zones during the emission of a message (i.e. while the areas are retained). This interruption
may be total or partial in terms of message length, and affects only those areas where there is overlap.
When the two consoles have the same priority level, the first one that holds a zone (or several) has priority
for the duration of the message, holding the zone(s) up to their release.
Priority management and zones holding as explained in the previous example (two PAGER modules
assigned to two hardware MPAGE16 consoles) is also applicable in other cases: two DUCKER modules or
one DUCKER module + one PAGER module.
You can include a brief chime melody in each message sent, usually as a warning of message start. Two
melodies (MELODY 1, MELODY 2) or NONE can be selected with the CHIME selector. Every time a
console starts sending a message using the PAGE key, the selected melody is first heard in the destination
zones so that at the next step the console user can send the voice message.
The destination zones keys in the central part of the section (1 to 8 or 1 to 16, depending on the MIMO88's
operating mode, 8x8 or 16x16 ) allow you to enable or disable zones by a double-click. When a zone is
enabled (filled in white) the MPAGE16 console may select it as destination of its message, whereas when it
is disabled (unfilled) the console can't select it as a destination. Even if an output channel is set to stereo,
you can enable/disable any of the two zones that compose it from this configuration screen. If an output
channel is set to stereo, selecting/releasing a zone from the MPAGE16 also selects/ releases the other, if it
was enabled.
Example: module #1 configured as PAGER, audio input IN5 and zones 2, 3, 4, 9 and 11 enabled for messages sending from a
MPAGE16 console
In addition, each key includes a light indicator with different colour codes to indicate the zone status. The
"tooltip" indicator that appears when the cursor is positioned over a key also displays its status. These
indications match those given by the physical MPAGE16 console with its key LEDs:
 Unlit: free zone (not hold by another console, if any)
 Lit in green: zone selected by the console to broadcast the following message
 Lit in red: zone not selected in the console, but hold by the other highest priority console (or
DUCKER)
