1. SX-2000 SETTING SOFTWARE OUTLINE

The SX-2000 Setting Software allows the settings data needed for operation of SX-2000 Series Matrix Systems to be created using a personal computer. These settings are saved in the form of a file with the extension ".smd." This file can be saved to a CompactFlash (CF) card that may be read by inserting it into the SX-2000SM System Manager. In addition, setting data can be sent and received online, or system operation status or histories confirmed through establishment of communications between the SX-2000SM System Manager and the PC.

2. EXPLANATIONS OF TERMS & FUNCTIONS

2.1. Pattern

A "pattern" is a grouped unit made by combining setting statuses of several setting items. For example, various broadcast patterns are made by combining the selected input sound sources and broadcast zones into groups, and control output patterns are made by grouping the selected control outputs. Set various patterns can be used as the setting contents when creating other types of patterns or when allocating the functions in the Event settings.

2.2. Event

An "event" refers to the set operation to be performed by feeding signals to the control input terminals or pressing the function key. Allocatable functions differ depending on the terminals or keys to be used.

2.3. General-Purpose Broadcasts

General-purpose broadcasts include announcements made by Remote Microphones, time-controlled chimes, and spot commercials. To make general-purpose broadcasts, set general-purpose broadcast patterns (comprised of various combinations of input channels, priority levels, broadcast zones, etc.), then activate these patterns by the following means.

• Control inputs of the SX-2000SM, SX-2100AI, SX-2000AO, SX-2100AO, or SX-2000CI

• Function keys or channel keys on the SX-2000AI, SX-2100AI, SX-2000AO, or SX-2100AO

• Keys on the RM-200SF, RM-200S, RM-200SA, or RM-210

The broadcasts activated by control inputs are made only while the control signal is ON after audio and control signals from input devices (such as microphones and audio file players) enter the SX-2000 system.

To make general-purpose pattern broadcasts, follow the procedures below to perform each setting using the SX-2000 Setting Software.

Set the output zones to which general-purpose pattern broadcast is made.

When using the output zone pattern, set this in the "Output zone pattern settings."

When setting the individual output zones, perform this setting in the "General broadcast pattern settings."

Set the general-purpose broadcast patterns.

Perform this in the "General broadcast pattern settings."

Set the control output to be interlocked with the control input or key operation. *

Perform this in the "Control output pattern settings."

* Perform this setting as needed.

Assign both the general-purpose broadcast pattern and control output pattern to the control input or key of the device, or the key on the remote microphone.

Perform this in the "Event settings."

[General-purpose broadcast Pattern Setting Example]

In the example below, the table shows a pattern comprised of several general-purpose broadcast sound sources and broadcast zones. An output zone pattern is the one into which multiple broadcast zones are grouped, so broadcast can be made to multiple zones simultaneously by activating only one pattern.

The input channels of the SX-2100AI (Audio Input Unit) are designated as sound sources for general-purpose broadcasts or BGM, while the output channels (individual) or output zone patterns of the SX-2000AO (Audio Output Unit) are designated as zones.

Broadcasts are made as follows when the above general-purpose broadcast pattern is used.

2.4. BGM Broadcasts

These broadcasts are generated by inputting audio signals originating only from BGM player devices into the SX-2000 system, and are usually sent at relatively low volumes. BGM broadcasting is conducted by first setting BGM patterns (comprised of various combinations of input channels, broadcast zones, etc.), then activating these patterns. It is possible to perform settings so that multiple BGM sources are output to multiple zones using a single BGM pattern. BGM patterns can be activated using the function keys on the front panel of the SX-2000AI, SX-2100AI, SX-2000AO, or SX-2100AO, the keys on the RM-200SF, RM-200S, RM200SA, or RM-210, or the control input (pulse input) on the SX-2000SM, SX-2100AI, SX-2000AO, SX2100AO, or SX-2000CI.

To make BGM pattern broadcast, perform each setting using the SX-2000 Setting Software. The setting procedures are the same as those of general-purpose pattern broadcast. However, there is no need to perform output zone patterns.

[BGM Pattern Setting Example]

In the example below, the table shows a pattern comprised of several BGM sound sources and broadcast zones. The input channels of the SX-2100AI (Audio Input Unit) are designated as BGM input sources, while the output channels of the SX-2000AO (Audio Output Unit) are designated as the zones.

Broadcasts are made as follows if the pattern shown in the table is used:

2.5. Emergency Broadcast

Emergency broadcast is conducted by first setting the combinations of the Emergency Sequences, Output zones (individual or pattern), and Control Output patterns as Emergency Broadcast Patterns, then activating these patterns by pressing the key on the remote microphone or via the control input of the system equipment. A maximum of 128 patterns can be set for the Emergency Broadcast Patterns. A combination of the EV message (sound source) and its broadcast duration is set as a single phase for the Emergency Sequences, each of which can contain up to 3 levels of phases. A maximum of 4 Emergency Sequences can be set.

Note

An EV message is a short form of Electronic Voice Message. These messages are recorded as audio files. The separately created EV messages are registered using the Setting Software, and each message is set to one of 3 types: Alert, Evacuation, and Reset depending on the contents. The Alert and Evacuation messages are used in emergency situation, while the Reset message is used to notify that the emergency situation is over. Sixteen kinds of EV messages can be recorded on the SX-2000SM's CF card.

Output zone pattern is the one into which multiple broadcast zones are grouped, so broadcast can be made to multiple zones simultaneously by activating only one pattern. Similarly, control output pattern is the one into which multiple control outputs are grouped. This control output pattern can be used, for example, to activate multiple control outputs in synchronization with the emergency broadcast.

To use the emergency broadcasting function, follow the procedures below to perform each setting using the SX-2000 Setting Software.

Set the emergency broadcasting function to "Used."

Perform this in the "Basic settings."

Perform this in the "System settings (System manager)."

[Operation example]

The example here assumes that a fire breaks out in Zone 1.

(1) When the fire alarm sensor installed in Zone 1 works, the

automatic fire alarm system transmits a control signal to the SX-2000 system's control input. Then, the Emergency Broadcast Pattern 1 is activated, allowing the alert message to be broadcast to Zone 1. In this event, SX-2000SM's Control outputs 1 and 2 turn ON. (Phase 1)

(2) After 5 minutes, Phase 1 is shifted to Phase 2 and the

"Evacuation" EV message is broadcast to all zones. In this event, SX-2000SM's Control outputs 1 and 2 turn OFF, while SX-2100AI's Control outputs 1 and 2 turn ON.

2.6. Surveillance Function

Surveillance function continuously monitors such status at the major points from input to output of the system as each unit operation, cable connections or communications between the units, and power supply. If a unit fails or cable breaks, this is notified to the system operator by some means. Failure status of the external equipment can also be accepted and notified. When a failure has occurred, perform a set of operations: failure reception first to acknowledge failure state and finally failure reset to restore the system to normal using the keys on the SX-2000SM or remote microphone, or control input terminals of the system equipment. Set the Surveillance intervals, intended surveillance points, and actions at the time of failure occurrence using the SX-2000 Setting Software. To use the Surveillance function, follow the procedures below to perform each setting.

Set the Surveillance function to "Used."

Perform this in the "Basic settings."

Set the surveillance points of each device.

Perform this in the "Surveillance individual settings."

Set the control outputs to be activated at the time of failure detection. *

Perform this in the "Control output pattern settings."
