Term
Definition
Announcers usually wear a small ear piece so they can
hear the selected foldback audio mix. When a director
wants to give directions to an announcer on air, or to
announce changes in the program, the director must
interrupt the foldback. To do this, the director uses a
channel specifically set up to interrupt the foldback
audio.
Interface module A piece of electronic hardware designed to convert the
4-wire signals of a central matrix port to some other
form of communication, such as 2-wire partyline,
telephone, etc. The interface module is connected to a
central matrix port. The external non-4-wire device is
then connected to the interface module.
ISO
The ISO function, short for panel ISOlation, allows a
panel operator to call a destination and interrupt all of
that destination’s other audio paths and establish a
private conversation. When the call is completed the
destination’s audio pathways are restored to their
original state before the interruption.
Keygroup
KeyGroups provide a way of assigning a label to
multiple panels simultaneously even within a
networked matrix system. Once the KeyGroups have
been defined using ECS, all the keys within a
KeyGroup can be changed with a single assignment in
Production Maestro (Pro mode only).
Label
A label is an alphanumeric name of up to five
characters that identifies a source, destination, or
control function accessed by an intercom panel. Labels
appear in the displays of the intercom panel.
Labels can identify panels, ports interfaced to other
external equipment, fixed groups, party lines, and
special control functions.
MADI
Multichannel Audio Digital Interface. The MADI or
AES10 electronic communications protocol defines the
data format and electrical characteristics of an
interface carrying multiple channels of digital audio.
Multiplexing
The process by which two or more signals are
transmitted over a single communications channel.
Examples include time division and wavelength division
multiplexing.
Non-volatile
Memory
Data stored in the CPU’s firmware (ROM) that is not
lost when the power is turned off.
Palette
