Controls
These stylish arc displays show the level settings
with utmost precision – meeting IRT recommendations!
The TrueMatch RMC is designed as stand-alone unit and hardly requires
the user‘s attention in operation.
For the version equipped with microphone-input boards, parameters such
as input sensitivity, subsonic filter, phantom power, and phase inversion
are set using the digital encoders on the front panel. The line-input
sensitivity can be configured using an external control computer; the
setting will then be stored to the device itself.
The output levels are displayed via the analog-like LED arcs.
An external signal fed to the wordclock input is immediately recognized and indicated
on the front panel. If the sync source fails, the previous sync frequency will be
generated internally and thus maintained; the device will directly change to internal
synchronisation. The frequency setting will be memorized when the device is turned
off and will be recalled immediately after switch-on again.
PC Interface
The configuration options are enhanced when using a standard IBM-PC
or compatible. The control program running on the computer can access
the parameters of the Reference Mastering A/D via the serial interface.
A version including an RS422-interface port for spanning larger distances
can be supplied on request.

Multichannel-metering and dialog box where
the
parameters of an I/O couple are set
The following settings can be viewed and changed:
- free I/O routing, storable
- sample rate
- peak-level indication for individual channels
- shared multi-channel meters for all channels
- routing of the internal test-tone generator
- phase inversion for individual channels
- settings of the XMAD board such as gain, subsonic filters, and phantom
power
- AES/EBU output format (professional/consumer)
- output parameters for other formats
Technology
TrueMatch RMC has a modular structure and consists of I/O modules for the
respective audio formats. System control and operation are performed using
additional modules that may also be used for communicating with an optional
configuration computer. All modules (including the power-supply unit) are
made as slot boards and are mounted in a 19" carrier frame (3 U).
All standard connectors are available on the rear panel of the device,
thus avoiding a need for special adaptors.
Input and output boards can be replaced during operation (hot swap). Failure
of any board does not affect the remaining boards.
Particular features such as the combo XLR/line connectors or handy operation
smooth the user‘s everyday work. |
