Crestron QM-FTDC FlipTop Data Center FlipTop Data Center: QM-FTDC Introduction Features and Functions The QM-FTDC FlipTop Computer Center is part of the Crestron MediaManagerTM line of network devices, room control systems and signal routing solutions. [. . . ] High/1 = Mic audio is muted; Low/0 = Mic audio is not muted Enables noise gating for MIC 1/LINE 1 or MIC 2/LINE 2, for as long as the input is high. Gating eliminates unwanted background noise that could prove distracting when amplified. The noise gate will not pass an audio signal unless it is above the threshold, set by the <GatingLevel> input. High/1 (level sensitive) = Enable gating; Low/0 = Disable gating Indicates the current status of the noise gate for the corresponding MIC/LINE input. High/1 = Gating is enabled; Low/0 = Gating is disabled Indicates that the signal level on MIC 1/LINE 1 or MIC 2/LINE 2 has exceeded the <GatingLevel>. High/1 = Gating level exceeded; Low/0 = Gating level not exceeded Indicates that the signal level on MIC 1/LINE 1 or MIC 2/LINE 2 has exceeded the nominal level. The nominal indication is reported at 10% of the maximum level supported by the hardware, or 20dB below the input clip level. High/1 = Nominal level exceeded; Low/0 = Nominal level not exceeded Indicates that the signal level on MIC 1/LINE 1 or MIC 2/LINE 2 has exceeded 50% of the maximum level supported by the hardware, or 6dB below the input clip level. High/1 = Mic signal clipping; Low/0 = Mic level not clipping Enables the 48V phantom power supply for as long as the input remains high. (Phantom power is required by condenser microphones, but should be disengaged for dynamic microphones. ) High/1 (level sensitive) = Enable phantom power; Low/0 = Disable phantom power Digital inputs: <Mic1GatingEnable> <Mic2GatingEnable> Digital outputs: <Mic1GatingEnable-F> <Mic2GatingEnable-F> Digital outputs: <Mic1Gate> <Mic2Gate> Digital outputs: <Mic1Nominal> <Mic2Nominal> Digital outputs: <Mic1Clip> <Mic2Clip> Digital input: <PhantomEnable> Continued on the following page 36 · FlipTop Data Center: QM-FTDC Operations & Installation Guide - DOC. 6312A Crestron QM-FTDC FlipTop Data Center QM-FTDC Microphone Control ­ Signal Descriptions (continued) SIGNAL TYPE AND NAME Digital output: <PhantomEnable-F> DESCRIPTION Indicates that phantom power has been enabled. High/1 = Phantom power is on; Low/0 = Phantom power is off Sets the threshold for gating. The noise gate is enabled for as long as the <GatingEnable> input is high. Once the microphone audio rises above <GatingLevel> the gate opens, allowing the signal to pass through. If the <MicNominal> feedback pulses while the <MicGate> feedback remains low, this indicates a threshold that is set too high. This maps into the following range: Mic level input: -60dBV to -20dBV Line level input: -28dBV to +12dBV Indicates the gain being applied to the corresponding MIC/LINE input. Sets the time, in milliseconds, that it takes for the noise gate to fully open after the signal exceeds the <GatingLevel>. This prevents short spikes in the input signal level, such as coughing, from opening the gate. Valid analog values range from 0d (0ms) to 100d (100ms), with 10d to 40d being the most usable range. This prevents the sound from stopping too abruptly--for example, during brief pauses in speech. Valid analog values range from 0d (0ms) to 5000d (5000ms, or 5s), with 1000d to 3000d (1000s to 3000s, or 1s to 3s) being the most usable range. Valid analog values range from -120d (-12dB) to +120d (+12dB), adjustable in increments of 0. 1dB (1d = 0. 1dB). [. . . ] Authorized returns must be shipped freight prepaid to CRESTRON, 6 Volvo Drive, Rockleigh, N. J. 07647, or its authorized subsidiaries, with RMA number clearly marked on the outside of all cartons. Shipments arriving freight collect or without an RMA number shall be subject to refusal. CRESTRON reserves the right in its sole and absolute discretion to charge a 15% restocking fee, plus shipping costs, on any products returned with an RMA. [. . . ]
