3-1)

3-1d) 256x Clock Input- This 256x Clock Input may be used to synchronize the engine to an external 256x masterclock, however this is not required to operate the unit.

If the connector is not used, the engine‘s clock is either derived internally or via the digital source connected to AES input channel 1 per jumper setting.*

3-1e) *Output Sample Rate Selection- The engine's output sample rate is determined by a jumper on the main PC board.- The output sample rate jumper may be set to 32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, Channel 1 or External.- 32kHz, 44.1kHz and 48kHz are standard sample rates.- The CH1 setting locks the output sample rate to that of the AES signal coming in channel 1.- The External setting is required when using the 256x Clock Input.

3-1c) 256x Clock Output- One may use this 75ohm BNC output to synchronize external digital equipment to the engine, thus the engine may be used as a

master clock for a facility. This 256x ‘superclock’ is 256 times as fast as the selected output sample rate*.

3-1f) RS-232 Ports- The Primary Control Port is the top port, which is port 1. Connect the console control surface or controlling PC to this port using a standard

9 pin serial cable.- The Secondary Control Port is the bottom port, which is port 2. Connect a second controller to this port if necessary, such as

a turret control PC- The port settings are 38,400baud, N, 8, 1.

3-1g) Logic I/O, Control and Tallies- Control Logic port 1 - routing switcher interface for up to four routing switchers.- Control Logic port 2 - remote start and stop logic for digital source equipment for channels 9 through 12.- Control Logic port 3 - talk studio interface: remote channel on, off, mute and talkback for channels 2 through 5.- Control Logic port 4 - console interface (connects to the console control surface), also intercom connections.- Control Logic port 5 - remote start and stop logic for digital source equipment for channels 1 through 8.

NOTE - the pin assignments for these ports are found at the end of this section.3-1h) Reset Switch

This port is also used to interface the REV-12 to an intercom system. The port hasintercom inputs, outputs and logic.

- INTERCOM INPUTS: The port's intercom input feeds into thecontrol room monitor/cue system. The input activates when INTERCOMIN LOGIC is asserted. At this time, whatever audio is on the control

room cue system is muted and replaced with the intercom audio.

- INTERCOM OUTPUTS: The port's intercom output derive itsaudio from the control room MIC (channel 1 analog input), and is activewhen the TALK button on the control surface or software is pressed.The INTERCOM OUT TALLY activates at this time. The intercom alsofeeds into the unmuted studio monitor output when activated, andmutes the studio monitor speakers.

The MISC logic inputs and tally outputs are reserved for future applications. The tallysare open collector to ground, and will sink up to 50mA from a positive (+) DC voltage.The inputs require a momentary connection to ground to activate.

MODE PROGRAMMING TABLE

3-2d) Channel Mode Select Programming - The table below shows diode jumper locations for the different programming modes.

3-2e) Channel Mode Select Example- For example, the illustration at the top of the page shows a channel whose ‘A’ (analog) input is set up to function as a MIC channel with studio monitor muting.

The channel‘s ’B‘ (digital) input is set up to function as a line channel which will not reset the timer when the channel is turned on.

NOTEs:- MIC-LINE LEVEL SELECT: these jumpers do not effect analog audio input levels, just the channel's software functionality. In order to select an analog

input for MIC level signals, three jumpers need to be changed on the REV-12 Digital Audio Engine‘s analog PC board. The jumpers are clearlylabeled MIC and LINE for each of the first five analog inputs. The remainder of the analog inputs are line level inputs only.�

- MONITOR MUTING: any channel may be set up to mute the control room (CR MUTE) or studio monitor outputs. The channel must be set upfor MIC mode regardless of whether the actual analog input signal is microphone level or line level.

- PHONE MODULES: Phone modules are always LINE mode, therefore will not mute the monitor systems.



3-2c) Channel Mode Select (continued)- Diode jumpers must be used to select a channel’s Mode. Some diode jumpers are supplied with the unit. In case additinal diodes are needed, the diode type

is 1N914 or 1N414B.

Mode programming diodes must be oriented as shown above. If any diodes are in backwards some channels will not be properly programmed.

VU METER TRIMPOTS

3-2f) VU Meter Calibration- The VU meters are calibrated for the console's nominal signal level of -20dBFS/+4dBu. When the meters read ‘0VU’, then the console‘s analog

output is +4dBu (1.225Vrms), and the console's digital signal level is -20dBFS. The meters may be re-calibrated if desired by turning the trimpots on the controller's PC board, located under the controller‘s meter panel (see diagram below).

3-2g) REV-DCRM1 Control Room Monitor Module- The mainframe‘s Control Room Monitor Module (REV-DCRM1) handles monitoring, talkback/intercom and timer control functions.- The DCRM1 allows selection of which signal is feeding the control room monitor/headphone system (Program, Audition, Utility or one of two externalmonitor feeds).- The monitor and headphones have independent level controls.- The timer control is either manual only or manual/automatic. If the AUTO button is pressed, the timer will automatically reset whenever a channel‘s ONswitch is pressed(defeatable on a channel by channel basis).

3-2h) A Note Regarding Autocue- Arrakis consoles feature stereo Autocue. Autocue allows stereo cue audio to come out the control roommonitors and headphones, at the same time ducking the level of the non-cue audio. Thereis also a mono cue output on the REV-12 which may be routed to a mono cueamplifier/speaker which carries cue audio only.

NOTEs - if monitor levels seem unnaturally low, check to see that there are no channels in cue. If any channel is incue then the monitor/headphones will duck (reduce levels) considerably. When all channelsare taken out of cue mode the monitors and headphones will return to their normal volume levels.- autocue may be defeated. If autocue is defeated, the monitor and headphones operations will notchange when cue is pressed. Cue audio will only come out the mono cue output connector.

3-2i) Defeating Autocue- Autocue may be defeated by adding a jumper (included) to the circuit board which is located underthe control surface's meter panel. Place the jumper in the location marked ‘JP1’, rightabove the channel mode select sockets. For units without a Console Control Surface,autocue is defeated via software.

3-2j) REV-TRS1 Remote Selector Module- The 5 Input Remote Selector Module (REV-TRS1) allows up to five additional audio sources to be selected to feed a channel on the console.- The switch may be used for either analog signals or digital signals but not both. The switch is totally passive and bi-directional, therefore it may ,be used as an output routing switcher as well.- The switch's output will be routed to any analog or digital channel on the REV-12 Digital Audio Engine.- Mating connectors and pins are provided. Crimp and solder all connections for highest reliability.- Connector shells are AMP part number 350720-1. The mating pins are AMP part number 350689-1.
