Complete programmability and control of the SPM723 includes independent left/right levels for each input and output, mic/line routing & priority, automatic/manual program ducking, mic/line & output tone adjustment, and 16 memory presets. [. . . ] Clear allows all actions assigned to the selected Logic Input (or all Logic Inputs) to be cleared. Try It causes the actions currently assigned to the selected Logic Input to be performed by the SPM723. Close will close the Logic Input Definitions screen. 9 SETUP MISCELLANEOUS SCREEN The Configuration Options screen is accessed through the Configure SPM723 menu, and the Miscellaneous tab on the Configuration Options screen is then used to select options which customize the operation of the SPM723. At the top of the Miscellaneous screen, the Serial Number and Firmware Version of the particular SPM723 will be displayed. The BiampWin software can operate `off-line' (with no product connected) by opening a `new' file for the desired product. The Serial Number & Firmware Version are not displayed for `new' (offline) files. Device Name allows a custom name to be given to the SPM723, by entering up to 30 characters of text. The Device Name will be stored in the SPM723 memory, and will be displayed on the title bar of the Mix screen whenever that SPM723 is accessed using the software. Device Number opens a drop-down menu which allows assignment of an `address' number (0~63) to the SPM723, for computer control of multiple units. Surround Sound Support enables Input 6 source selection on the Aux screen, which allows the Aux Output to provide the additional independent outputs necessary for surround sound applications (see Aux Screen on pg. 7) Power-Up Status determines what settings the SPM723 will automatically recall whenever power is turned on. From the factory, the SPM723 is set to recall the settings which existed prior to power being shut off. Recall Preset 1 at Power Up will instead cause the SPM723 to recall this specific preset at power-up. Main Program Page-Over Ducking and Zone Program Page-Over Ducking determine the amount of attenuation applied to stereo Line Input 1~7 signals, and how quickly they return to normal level, when ducking has been triggered (see Mute on pg. Duck Amount opens a drop-down menu of 41 attenuation choices (0dB~80dB). Ramp Rate opens a drop-down menu of 200 return rate choices (1dB~200dB per second). NOTE: A Mic/Line Input must be enabled to an output before it can trigger ducking at that output (see Mic/Line Screen on pg. Restore Defaults opens a pop-up menu, which allows the Miscellaneous options (or all Configuration Options) to be set back to their factory defaults. Close will return you to the Mix screen. 10 SETUP MUTE 1 / MIC 1 SCREEN The Configuration Options screen is accessed through the Configure SPM723 menu, and the Mute 1 / Mic 1 tab on the Configuration Options screen is then used to select options which customize the function of the Mic/Line 1 Mute terminal (see Front & Rear Panel Features on pg. Mute 1 Input Causes Gated Operation of Mic 1 toggles assignment of gating to the Mic/Line 1 signal. Gating allows that mic/line input signal to remain off, until triggered on either manually (via contact-closure) or automatically (via signal present) at the Mute 1 terminal. Mute 1 Input Causes Page-Over Duck of the Main Program Source toggles assignment of ducking at the Main Output.
