Characteristic Parameters; Using The "Input Processors" Menu - Mackie RCF RX 3000 Instructions D'emploi

IMPORTANT NOTES
• All the settings made using the various configuration menus are temporarily stored in the RAM of the control unit; to save them permanen-
tly on the hard disk of the control unit as configuration files, it is indispensable to exit from the system configuration menu using the
command "COMPILE & SAVE" (see the section USING THE "COMPILE & SAVE" MENU).
• When the configuration menu of the control unit is being used, it is not possible to access the system via the configuration PC.

CHARACTERISTIC PARAMETERS

With the installation of the modular boards of the RX 3000 system (e.g. IB 3210 / IB 3280 AUDIO INPUT boards, OB 3230 AUDIO OUTPUT
boards, etc.), the parameters described below are defined, which are used in the various configuration menus to identify the boards and the
respective inputs and/or outputs.
BOARD NUMBER
AUDIO INPUT NUMBER
AUDIO OUTPUT NUMBER
GPI INPUT NUMBER
RELAY NUMBER
IMPORTANT NOTE
• The numbering that identifies the IB 3210 / IB 3280 AUDIO INPUT boards, the OB 3230 AUDIO OUTPUT boards, and the audio inputs and
outputs of these boards, is only one, even when more than one audio matrix is present in the system.
Considering, for example, a system in which there are two independent audio matrixes, with 32 inputs (4 AUDIO INPUT boards) and 64 out-
puts (8 AUDIO OUTPUT boards) each, IB 3210 / IB 3280 AUDIO INPUT board number 5 corresponds to the first input board of the second
matrix, and OB 3230 AUDIO OUTPUT board number 9 corresponds to the first output board of the second matrix; consequently, input num-
ber 33 will correspond to the first input of the second matrix, and output number 65 will correspond to the first output of the second matrix.

This menu is used for programming the inputs of the IB 3210 / IB 3280 AUDIO INPUT boards. From the main configuration menu of the con-
trol unit, use the ↑ / ↓ and/or pag↑ / pag↓ keys to move the selection point to the INPUT PROCESSORS submenu and press ENTER.
The fields described below appear on the control unit display.
N. Indicates the identification number of the audio input to be programmed. The indication is sequential: the number 1 corresponds to
input number 1 of AUDIO INPUT board number 1; the number 9 corresponds to input number 1 of AUDIO INPUT board number 2;
the number 32 corresponds to input number 8 of AUDIO INPUT board number 4, and so on.
NAME Used for defining the identification name of the input, which can be composed of a maximum of 16 alphanumerical characters.
Use the + and - keys to select the alphanumerical characters in rotation, and confirm each character with ENTER.
The numerical characters can be selected directly on the numerical keypad.
Each board of a particular type is identified by a progressive number which depends on the slot and the sub-
rack in which it is installed.
The progressive numbering of the IB 3210 / IB 3280 AUDIO INPUT boards and the OB 3230 AUDIO OUT-
PUT boards, from number 1 to the total number of boards of that type present in the system, starts from the
board installed in slot number 1 of the first MB 3200 sub-rack, up to the last board installed in the slot with
the highest number in the last sub-rack.
The progressive numbering of the IO 3250 digital INPUT/OUTPUT boards, from number 1 to the total num-
ber of boards of this type present in the system, starts from the board installed in the slot with the lowest
number of the first MB 3200 sub-rack used for this type of board, up to the last board installed in the slot
with the highest number in the last sub-rack.
The 8 audio inputs of each IB 3210 / IB 3280 AUDIO INPUT board present in the system are identified by
progressive numbers that depend on the identification number of the board to which they belong (BOARD
NUMBER parameter). The progressive numbering of the inputs, from number 1 to the total number of audio
inputs present in the system (max. 64), starts from IB 3210 / IB 3280 AUDIO INPUT board number 1: board
number 1 has inputs 1 to 8; board number 2 has inputs 9 to 16, and so on up to the last board, for example
number 4, which has inputs 25 to 32.
The 8 audio outputs of each OB 3230 AUDIO OUTPUT board present in the system are identified by pro-
gressive numbers that depend on the identification number of the board to which they belong (BOARD NUM-
BER parameter). The progressive numbering of the outputs, from number 1 to the total number of audio out-
puts present in the system (max. 128), starts from OB 3230 AUDIO OUTPUT board number 1: board number
1 has outputs 1 to 8; board number 2 has outputs 9 to 16, and so on up to the last board, for example num-
ber 8, which has outputs 57 to 64.
The 16 GPI inputs of each IO 3250 digital INPUT/OUTPUT board present in the system are identified by pro-
gressive numbers that depend on the identification number of the board to which they belong (BOARD
NUMBER parameter). The progressive numbering of the GPI inputs, from number 1 to the total number of
GPI inputs present in the system (max. 256), starts from IO 3250 digital INPUT/OUTPUT board number 1:
board number 1 has inputs 1 to 16; board number 2 has inputs 17 to 32, and so on up to the last board, for
example number 8, which has inputs 113 to 128.
The 24 relays of each IO 3250 digital INPUT/OUTPUT board present in the system are identified by progressi-
ve numbers that depend on the identification number of the board to which they belong (BOARD NUMBER
parameter). The progressive numbering of the relays, from number 1 to the total number of relays present in the
system (max. 384), starts from IO 3250 digital INPUT/OUTPUT board number 1: board number 1 has relays 1
to 24; board number 2 has relays 25 to 48, and so on up to the last board, for example number 8, which has
relays 169 to 192.
