Differences in System Operation Due to "System Type" Settings When Priority
Broadcasts Are Made
[In a 1-channel broadcast system]
When another higher priority broadcast is started during a broadcast, if broadcast areas for the two are different,
the original broadcast is cut off in areas other than those where the higher priority broadcast has been made.
[In a BGM/Paging broadcast system]
Priorities 1 – 6 are assigned to paging calls made by the VP series standby amplifiers, while Priorities 7 (MIX) and
8 (BGM) are for BGM broadcasts made by the VM-3000 series Amplifiers. When another broadcast with priority 1
– 6 is made during a broadcast with priority 7 or 8, if broadcast areas for the two are different, the original
broadcast is maintained in areas other than those where the latest broadcast has been made.
8. PRIORITY SETTINGS
8.1. General Broadcast Priorities
In general broadcasts, priorities can be set to each input source of the VM-3240VA's or VM-3360VA's, and the
VM-3240E's or VM-3360E's local input source. Following are such priority-assignable inputs or sound
sources: INPUT 1 – 4 (audio input), BGM 1 & 2 (BGM input), RM 1 & 2 LINK IN (remote microphone input),
internal automatic general announcements 1 – 6, and Local INPUT* (audio input).
Priority levels can be set on the setting software. (Refer to "Priority Settings" in the separate software
instruction manual.)
• The lower the number, the higher the priority. Priorities that can be set differ depending on the connected
terminal.
• While a broadcast with Priority 1 – 6 is being made, if another broadcast with higher priority is made, the
lower priority broadcast is interrupted. When multiple broadcasts with the same priority are simultaneously
made, the latest broadcast takes precedence (default: last-in-first-out priority). This priority can be changed
to a first-in-first-out arrangement through software settings. The original broadcast is restored after the
priority broadcast is complete.
• Priority 7 can be assigned only to Inputs 1 – 4 (audio input). Setting these inputs to Priority 7 (MIX) allows
them to be used as BGM source inputs. If two or more of these inputs are set to Priority 7, their sound
source outputs are mixed.
• Priority 8 can be assigned only to BGM 1 & 2 (BGM input). If broadcast with Priority 1 – 7 is started during
BGM (Priority 8) playback, the BGM is temporarily attenuated to allow the broadcast with Priority 1 – 7 to go
through. The original BGM playback is restored when the priority broadcast is complete.
• When multiple input sound sources are simultaneously broadcast, the Output indicator indicates the input
sound source with the highest priority.
• Depending upon priorities set to each input terminal (sound source), operations of the internal attenuator
(speaker output volume control), external attenuator and master volume control differ.
