Configuration
After the physical installation has been
completed it’s important that the system’s
configuration options be carefully reviewed.
In most cases one or more of the operat-
ing parameters will be revised to meet the
needs of the specific installation. Many of
the configuration parameters will impact
the signal flow in to and out of the Model
780-03 Central Controller. Other param-
eters affect how the one or more Model
790 Control Consoles will display status
conditions and respond to user commands.
Most of the configuration choices will be
made using a Model 790 Control Console.
However, two configuration choices are
available for any connected Model 71
Control Consoles.
Configurable Parameters
Many StudioComm functions can be con-
figured to meet the exact needs of an
installation. A Model 790 Control Console
is used to display and select the desired
system configuration. Here’s an overview
of what can be configured:
• Model 790 Device Address (must be
unique for each unit!)
• Stereo Input Sample Rate Converter
• Bass Management
• Sync Source
• Sync Input Termination
• Audio-Synced-to-Video Sample Rate
• Reference Level
• Overall Display Mode
• Reference Level in dB SPL
• Auto Reference Level Off
• Dim Level
• Remote Inputs
• LFE Downmix Level
• Pre-Fader Digital Monitor Output Mode
• Input Delay Settings
• Post-Fader Digital and Analog Monitor
Output Channel Level Offsets
The configuration diagrams, located later
in this section, give details on setting each
parameter. An overview of each configu-
rable parameter is provided in the following
paragraphs.
Entering and Exiting the
Configuration Mode
A small button is located on the back of
each Model 790 Control Console, adjacent
to its 9-pin female D-subminiature con-
nector. On any connected Model 790 unit
pressing and holding its configure button
for two seconds places both this specific
unit and the Model 780-03 into their con-
figuration modes. Other connected Model
790 and Model 71 units will enter a standby
mode. When the Model 780-03 enters its
configuration mode it will immediately mute
the monitor outputs, providing an equip-
ment and speaker protection measure.
When a specific Model 790 has entered the
configuration mode its array of buttons and
LEDs will no longer perform their normal
functions, instead being used to display the
configuration settings and reflect changes
as they are being made.
As a user aid, a Model 790 that has entered
the configuration mode will have its mode
mute and mode solo LEDs (associated with
the input mute/solo section) light in an alter-
nating manner. Other connected Model 790
units will indicate that they have entered the
standby mode by simultaneously flashing
their mode mute and mode solo LEDs.
