Overview :




The Crown IQ-USM 810 is an audio DSP Processing unit which has 8 inputs and 10 outputs. The unit is normally controlled from a PC where the user can interact with it via a user friendly software called "IQ for Windows". This MxM can control the unit while allowing the user to use IQ for Windows at the same time.

Installation (MXM) :

"IQ for Windows" must be installed prior using this MxM. This software can be downloaded from the IQ WEB site : > http://www.iqaudiosystems.com.

Once "IQ for Windows" is installed, start the IQNet Server program from the Start Menu.
The first time IQNet Server is launched, it performs a discovery of the IQ Components (devices) which may be hooked to the host PC. However, this process is rather long and we suggest to use the following options to speed up the process.

The option dialog box can be shown by righ-clicking on the IQNET Server icon on the task bar. Make sure that the "Save system configuration to System Dataframe", "Load but do not retrieve component settings" and "Do not prompt action at program startup" are checked..


Quit the IQNet Server program by right-clicking on the IQNET Server icon on the task bar and choosing the "Close" item. Once configured, the IQNet Server needs not to be started manually anymore as it will be automatically launched by the MxM.

If additional Crown USM810 components are used after the first IQNet Server startup. The IQNet Server should be updated by clicking on the "Perform Roll Call" button of its main window.

Creation (Device) :


Device creation window :



Loop :
The IQ Loop number of the device.

Address:
The IQ address of the device. Refer to the Crown IQ USM810 User Manual.

Device Object Information File (OIF):
This is the path of a file which gives information about the component. This file is part of the IQ for Windows installation. You don't need to change this value unless the information file is moved manually.

Monitor Setup:
The "Setup Monitor Variables" allows the user to select which informations from the unit must be monitored with system variables via the following dialog box :


This dialog box shows all of the controls of the unit which can be monitored : select a control and right-click to set monitor on/off configuration. Each monitored control has a yellow LED and a corresponding system variable with the control name will be created.

Refresh Time : Refresh period of the system variables.

Commands (List Of) :

The commands marked with * are not available in Manager STAGE.

      Note on positrack: Positrack DOES NOT affect the entire device. Positrack only sets the value of controls which were modified by cues in the time line before the "pause" time. In other words, the programmer should add any desired cues at the beginning of the timeline if he wants the positrack to "reset" these values.
