PS-8810
DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSOR
10.0 IQ Win Overview
Presets and
Scenes
The PS-8810 is configured using IQ Win software. This application
enables the setup of all the parameters available to the DSP of the
ProSys unit.
To run IQ Win successfully a 200Mhz Pentium II (preferably
400Mhz or better) machine with an absolute minimum of 32MB
RAM (64MB or more is better) is recommended. IQ Win will run
under Windows 95/98/ME/NT or 2000 (2000 Pro recommended)
The PS-8810 is a ‘fixed path’ processing unit, this means that the
audio signal travels along a set course of DSP objects, these objects
can be switched in or out of the path and in some instances matrix
routed into other paths. The ‘Signal Path’ tab in the PS-8810 setup
window in IQ Win displays an overview of the main DSP, input /
output routing and the various processing objects in them. This is
where most of the PS-8810’s DSP configuration is accessed. More
information about this ‘map’ is available in chapter 11.0 Processing
Functions.
All 8 analogue inputs are divided into two separate paths (A&B -
denoted by the colours green for A and blue for B) that can be
processed independently allowing a sub or monitor mix to be set
up easily, i.e. there are 16 input processing sections available.
With the addition of CobraNet a further 8 channels can be routed
through the unit.
The basic premise in setting up the PS-8810 is that the unit should
be configured for a particular use and this setup then stored as a
Preset in the unit (shown as “P” and a 2 digit number between 00
and 32 on the ProSys LED display). There are also Scene
memories (denoted by an “S” on the front panel display), that store
just the settings of up to 50 of the DSP objects but, not the
configuration of objects.
Presets or Scenes can be primed to change at set times or dates
using the ‘Unit Event’ scheduler giving a reasonable degree of
flexibility not unlike other show controllers. A Preset segue
function enables Presets to be crossfaded in level for smooth
transitions between setups.
IQ Win itself can also switch between different setups including
combinations of units wired via the IQ interface. The Dataframe
contains all the information for all the devices on the IQ network
and is saved as a .WIQ file on the PC’s hard drive. Different
