Prelude — Instruction Manual 51
Test System Operation
Test System Operation
With all the panels loaded with the router and panel configuration files,
your Prelude system should be completely operational. A couple simple
tests include:
• While monitoring a Destination, select that Destination on any control
panel, change the Source for that Destination on that panel, and see or
hear the signal change for that Destination. All control panels that have
buttons delegated to that Destination will immediately tally a new
Source button (provided that new Source is mapped to the Source
buttons on that panel).
• Select a single level on any panel, select a Destination, and change its
Source. Only that level’s signal will change, and split tally lighting will
be reported on all control panels delegated to that Destination.
Acappella Local Panel Configuration
If you have multiple Acappella frames configured under Prelude control,
and these frames are equipped with local control panels, and you wish to
use these panels for multi-level Takes on different Acappella frames, they
will need to be configured individually. Local Acappella panels cannot
receive configuration files. Configuration of Local Acappella panels is
accomplished using the web page for each Acappella frame. Refer to the
separate Acappella Instruction Manual for information on how to configure
Acappella frames.
Panel Conversions
Older Encore panels can be converted for use with Prelude by installing
Prelude software. Other panel conversion paths are possible, depending on
what software versions have been installed onto the PC running Net-
Config. You will need to have the “to” version of software present on the
PC in order to upgrade, and have previously installed the “from” version
of software to downgrade.
