Special – Configuring Displays in Control Modules

In the modules RM420-010, RM420-011, RM420-012 and RM420-013 ASCII displays with 8 and 16 digits are available. These can be assigned various function in this menu, as well as the LED displays MIC ON, ON AIR, PHONE1, PHONE2 and the card reader output of the Module RM420-013. You can configure these functions by highlighting the corresponding display with a left mouse click. In the Toolbox4 software, the selectable areas are marked white.

Name of the FunctionFunction available in Module TypeSelection optionsDescription
Select default display text
  • RM420-010

  • RM420-011

  • RM420-012

  • RM420-013

  • Selected:

  • 16 digit LED-ASCII display + optical main rotary encoder

RM4200D
  • Display of the firmware version available in the Device, e.g. “RM4200D V5.01.54

  • Default setting, recommended for at least one Module per system.

  • Overwritten at activation of the ACCESS function in the Fader Channel, if Fader Module and Control Module belongs to the same Access Group. (see also Configuring Module Options)

Device Name
  • Display of the Device name, max. 16 digits.

  • Overwritten at activation of the ACCESS function in the Fader Channel, if Fader Module and Control Module belong to the same Access Group.

Timer 1…12 (this menu entry is available for the timers 1 to 12)
  • Display of a timer; max. 12 timers per system possible.

  • With this function, you can also implement “Slave” displays for timers.

  • The timer display is overwritten at activation of the ACCESS function in the Fader Channel, if Fader Module and Control Module belong to the same Access Group.

Default Rotary Monitor Selector
  • RM420-012

  • Selected:

  • 8 digit LED-ASCII display + mechanical rotary encoder

Selector Number 1…10
  • Similar to the key function Rotary Monitor Select, but the configured Rotary Monitor Selector is constantly displayed. (see function Rotary Monitor Select)

  • With this, you can extend the monitor key sets generated with Monitor Bus 1...6 or use the selector independently for monitoring or routing.

  • You have to assign a Source List with audio sources to any Rotary Monitor Selector under Audio System/Monitor Functions/Rotary Monitor Selector. (see Rotary Monitor Selector)

  • Define the selectable sources of the Source Lists under Audio System/Selector Source Lists. You can use up to 10 different Source Lists. (see Output Selector Source List)

  • You can use Rotary Monitor Selectors as audio sources for Output Functions only. You find them in the window Audio Sources Window under Monitor Functions/Rot. Monitor Selector 1...10L,R.

  • Rotary Monitor Selectors can not be used as sources for other DSP functions, e.g. Fixed Processing or for Output Routing. (For this, you have to use an Output Function!)

  • Monitor buses themselves are no audio channels on the TDM bus system, but are created internally using special routing functions!

Selector Number 1…6
  • The Rotary Monitor Selectors 1…6 are available as source for the Monitor buses 1...6 and can be assigned to the corresponding Monitor Bus as source of a monitor key in the Audio Sources Window under Monitor Functions/Rotary Monitor Select L,R.

  • If the Monitor Buses 1...6 are unused, you can freely use the Rotary Monitor Selectors 1...6, e.g. for routing.

Selector Number 0
  • Special function: Rotary Monitor Selector 0

    Normally, corresponds to Rotary Monitor Selector 1, but can feed one or more other Rotary Monitor Selectors 2...6 using the key function Monitor Bus Shift.

  • The key function Monitor Bus Shift 2…6 always influences the Rotary Monitor Selectors 2...6.

MIC ON Lamp Source
  • RM420-013

  • MIC ON

  • red LED display

Logic Source
  • You can select an arbitrary logic source, e.g. a logic function that is coupled to the faderstart of a microphone using OR.

  • The label MIC ON and the red color of the LED can not be changed!

ON AIR Lamp Source
  • RM420-013

  • ON AIR

  • red LED display

Logic Source
  • You can select an arbitrary logic source, e.g. a logic function or a GPI signal for switching the studio “On Air” onto the transmitter line.

  • The label ON AIR and the red color of the LED can not be changed!

PHONE 1 Lamp Source
  • RM420-013

  • PHONE 1

  • yellow LED display

Logic Source
  • You can select an arbitrary logic source, e.g. a logic function or a GPI with call signal or status signal of a telephone hybrid.

  • The label PHONE 1 and the yellow color of the LED can not be changed!

PHONE 2 Lamp Source
  • RM420-013

  • PHONE 2

  • yellow LED display

Logic Source
  • You can select an arbitrary logic source, e.g. a logic function or a GPI with call signal or status signal of a telephone hybrid.

  • The label PHONE 2 and the yellow color of the LED can not be changed!

Card Release Source
  • RM420-013

  • Chip Card Reader

Logic Source
  • You can select an arbitrary logic source, mostly the key for ejecting the chip card “Eject Card” (for card readers with electromechanical ejection).

  • Production until May, 2003, RM420-013 produced from June 2003 do not have an electromechanical ejection.

[Note]Note

The characters displayable with the LED ASCII digit display available on the RM4200D are defined in the font of the used Osram SLG2016 Displays and can not be changed.
