30 TYPE R Radio Production System Start Up Guide
ABOUT TYPE R MANUALS
Type R has a number of Manuals associated with it. This is the Type R Start Up Guide:-
1. Type R Product Info Sheet (926-272)
This information sheet shows how to collect information on Type R.
2. Type R Start Up Guide (926-282)
This guide shows how to Unpack, Power Up and access/configure the system core, Install a licence key, Configure the Core for the
Surface panel layouts, Access Assist and create a New Show, Configure the network devices, Configure Panel ID’s, Connect up a PC
to the Surface switch, Upload control layouts to the Soft Panels, Create layouts using the Type R Soft Panel Designer, Configure and
Connect an Audio Switch and AoIP Devices to the Core.
3. Type R Installation Manual (926-228)
This contains a number of chapters including: Control surface measurements, Mounting and Assembly instructions, Defining the
system elements of a Type R system and describes the Core, Panels and IO Box layouts, Synchronisation, Audio & GPIO Connections,
Core DSP packs, Surface panel layout examples, AoIP network examples, Software Updating and Technical specifications.
4. Type R Assist Manual (926-229)
This defines how a pre-configured Type R system is setup and controlled via Calrec Assist, which is Calrec’s web-based configuration
tool. It includes creating/managing shows, setting up shows in terms of configuring paths, displaying and controlling the fader surface,
saving and loading snapshots and patching inputs and outputs to the channels and buses. There are then various sections about
parameter access including:- processing, routing, configuring and controlling the buses & outputs and setting up the monitoring &
metering. The show setup and system settings sections provide configuration tools for both show and system configuration.
5. Type R Assist and Console Panel Operation (926-283) Incorporating Type R Assist Manual
This covers how the pre-configured Type R Physical Console is operated via a combination of Fader Panels, Large & Small ‘Soft’
surface panels and also incorporates the Assist manual.
6. Type R Soft Panel Designer (926-284)
This defines how different controls can be configured to appear on the Console Panels using the Panel Designer Application which
allows the user to design their own custom layouts for the Large and Small ‘Soft’ surface panels.
7. Type R Configure Guide (926-285)
This defines how the Type R Core(s) can be configured and partitioned into different mixing consoles with varying amounts of
DSP processing channels available in different ‘Pack’ sizes under licence. It also is used to configure Control Surfaces from
the available panels, setup synchronisation sources, configure Network AoIP interface, configure the Core I/O including Virtual
Patchbays and provide User management permissions for Operators.
8. Connect (926-286)
This defines how the Impulse/Type R Core IP Input and Output streams are connected to AoIP based interfaces and how the AoIP
streams are managed including GPIO devices. These can be connections to and from either Calrec AoIP Devices or other 3rd
party AoIP streams.
9. AoIP I/O Manual (926-293)
This contains information about AoIP devices available for use with Impulse/Type R in terms of Control, Audio & GPIO Connections.
