SYSTEM OVERVIEW
MACHINE
The UAPG2 is made of:
•
4 slots of 4 audio channels
•
8 Front knobs (ability to pilot every adjustment you define in the UAPG2)
•
16 (0 to 5 VDC) Control inputs either analogue or Logical (contacts)
•
8 logic outputs (Dry contacts)
•
RS-232 serial interfacing for third party control
•
Ethernet port (RJ-45) TCP/IP based
•
RS-485 for connecting ATEÏS remote devices (URC, PPM-SF)
•
100 Mbytes memory Message player (Wave format, 16/24/48kHz, 16bits)
•
Digital link input and output to link up to 12 UAPG2 and share 16 audio channels in 48
kHz or 5 audio channels in 96 kHz.
•
One microcontroller and one DSP for standalone operation
AUDIO
The UPAg2 unit handles 4 slots of 4 audio channels. Each slot can contain either an input board
(A/D converters) or an output board (D/A converters); this is a factory hardware configuration. You
can choose between: 16 outputs, 4 inputs and 12 outputs, 8 inputs and 8 outputs, 12 inputs and 4
outputs or 16 inputs.
The excellent sonic performance is being achieved by The advanced 24 bit A/D and D/A
converters, together with the 48/96 kHz capable audio processing and the ADSP 21371 DSP (266
MHz SIMD SHARC Core, capable of 1596 MFLOPS peak performance).
Every single analogue audio input can be software defined for five different sensitivities (input gain
of 0dB, 12dB, 24dB, 40dB or 54dB it means the input device have sensitivities of 0dB, -12dB, -24dB, -40dB or -54dB) and
for 48V phantom power operation. This can be set for each single channel and each machine
independently.
LINKING
If more inputs or outputs are required, it is possible to digitally link up to 12 UAPG2 (maximum
distance between two UAPG2 is 10 meters). Through this link, you can share up to 16 channels at 48
kHz or 5 channels at 96 kHz sampling rate to the next device. It is not a network so you will have to
define outputs from the previous UAPG2 to inputs from the next UAPG2 etc.
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
To tell the machine what to do with audio and control signals there is a Windows® based
graphical design and operating environment software. With this all-in-one program you build up the
network, design signal processing from a huge library of DSP components and apply control sources.
In the 'Monitor' part you can choose the parameters that make sense to be edited by the user
and create an individual graphic user interface. To keep your design protected from unauthorized
altering, there are many password locked user levels.
The signal path of the UAPG2 is built from virtual elements called 'Components', providing the
functionality of simple preamps, filters, dynamics, delays, or more complex processors like automatic
mixers, crossovers or feedback killer. Their control windows hold all the buttons, faders, knobs,
meters etc. to set the desired values.
After selecting, placing and wiring DSP 'Components', your 'System' will be compiled and sent to
the UAPG2 via TCP/IP Ethernet port.
