Computer Controlled Operation & Supervision
Now, it’s time to look at a system using RHAON for computer control and supervision. Your computer will have to have RHAON installed on
it. If it doesn’t, turn to page 22 for installation and setup instructions.
You also need to be aware that even if RHAON is installed on the computer you are using, you may not have access to all its features.
RHAON includes several levels of password protection to prevent inadvertent or unauthorized changes of the control settings and you may
be denied access to some or all of the control settings. For more details on RHAON and password protection, please refer to page 46.
As soon as RHAON is connected to the network it will scan the Ethernet
network for any connected loudspeakers and list them in the Network
sub-directory in the directory tree. Use your mouse to drag each loud-
speaker listing into the work space where it will show up as an Icon.
Double clicking on the Icon will open that array’s Connect Properties
window where you can check or change the array’s input selections.
ICL-R arrays have provisions for two Cobranet inputs, two analog audio
inputs and a serial audio (AES3) digital input. Selecting the input you
want is as easy as clicking on the desired radio button.
The square Signal Present indicators turn green whenever a signal is
present. The 10 dB Pad in the Analog 1 input inserts a 10 dB pad into
the Analog 1 input, allowing input signals of up to + 24 dBu. Without the
pad, the input clips at +12 dBu.
Pressing the Beams / Presets tab will open the Beam Steering section
of RHAON and allow you to check what Preset configuration is selected
or to select a new Preset.
Selecting either the Control or Supervise tabs will change the loudspeak-
er icons in the work space by adding 4 control buttons to each Icon.
They allow you to turn the array On or Off(Standby), wink the array’s
wink light to help you identify it in multi-array setups, mute its output and
tell when it the loudspeaker loses signal.
Double clicking on the loudspeaker icon will open the array’s Supervi-
sion window which allows you to see at a glance how the array is
performing and adjust its input gain (output level). You can also mute its
output and turn the array On or Off (Standby).
Opening the Control window gives you access to the loudspeakers
Parametric EQ, Compressor and Delay controls.
The usual method of monitoring a multi-array system during a program
is to watch the array icons in the workspace. Green status bars mean
everything is fine, yellow bars indicate the array is being over driven,
red bars indicate a problem has been detected. Double clicking on that
array’s icon will open its supervisory window and provide more details on
the problem.
