MCS Features
The MCS is used to edit 6416m mic preamp settings and save/recall presets
remotely. A single MCS connected to an RCI can be used to control up to 64
channels of 6416m input channels, regardless of their location in the Pro64
network. Multiple control points can be provided by installing more than one
RCI Remote Control Interface in a Pro64 network.
All changes made from the MCS are immediately reflected on the front panel of
all 6416m modules in the same Control Group. The MCS can be disconnected
from the network as needed without affecting network behavior. Its features
are described in detail below.
Channel Level Meters
The MCS has 64 channel level meters that use bicolored LEDs. Green LEDs are
used for normal signal levels and red is used to indicate channel clipping.
The MCS will show the current level of all active network channels regardless
of whether the channel is a microphone signal or not.
Numeric Keypad
The numeric keypad can be used to select an active Slot for monitoring or
editing and is also used to select a mic pre Preset for save/recall.
You can enter a single digit for numbers below 10 or enter a leading zero (02,
07, etc.).
If you make a mistake when entering a Slot number, you can continue to enter
numbers any time prior to pressing the E
ntEr
button. The interface will move
digits to the left in the numeric display as they are entered. For example,
entering 4, 2, 3, 7, E
ntEr
will recall Slot 37, the last two digits entered.
When saving or recalling a mic pre Preset, only numbers from 1 to 16 are valid.
Inc/Dec Selection Buttons
The two arrow buttons in the numeric keypad area are used for inc/dec or
up/down functions when selecting Slots and Presets.
To select a Slot, press inc or dec to scroll sequentially through the available
Slots (the exact numbers displayed will be determined by the current
network sample rate). Follow the selection rules above; press E
ntEr
or simply
wait for the Slot to be automatically selected. Press C
anCEl
to return to the
last selected Slot.
