Group Functions
The FMP group functions include defining groups, adding rooms to groups, and removing groups.
These functions are similar to the Map Panel except that instead of using the Interlock switch and push
button the user uses a mouse.
Groups are defined as rooms that are combined to become a larger room. The rooms in the group share
the same levels, music selection, and other settings. A significant advantage when using the FMP is the
ability to combine nonadjacent rooms.
Rules applicable to the combining of rooms
The default wallplate settings for all the rooms in a group follow four levels of precedence:
1. If a microphone is active (local input on) that has highest priority.
2. If a microphone is selected but not yet active (local input selected) that is the next priority.
3. If music is active that is the next lower priority.
4. If nothing is selected that is the lowest priority.
Combining rooms rely on a set of possibilities and priorities. The possible combinations are combin-
ing a single room to a single room, adding a single room to a group, and combining two groups. The
priorities in descending order are Local Input On, Pre-enable On, Music On, and Nothing On.
When combining two single rooms the settings in each room is checked against the priorities and the
room with a lower priority setting takes on the settings of the other room. When combining two groups
the group with the lower priority takes on the settings of the group with the higher priority. When
combining rooms or groups of equal priority, the room volume is reset to the default level as deter-
mined by dipswitch 2.
Some other rules applicable to the grouping of rooms are:
•Any group that cannot be directly represented on the Map panel cannot be affected (mixed or
unmixed) by the Map panel.
•In a TieLine group the Head Table and Local Mixer switches are operable in the
rooms on the originator unit only.
•Wallplate volume level changes affect only the rooms in the group on that ACU.
•All Local Mixer and Head Table switched on the non-originator units will be locked off.
