Encore Two User Manual - AMS Neve

Encore Two User Manual Issue 1For instance, when the function of the Assignable Logicators is changed bythe operator, Assignments executes this.Automation is the console automation engine, and is closely dependent onAssignments. For instance, when a fader move is played back byAutomation, then Assignments will execute the instructions to the ConsoleSurface to move the control, and indicate to Allocation that a control valuehas changed.Assignments and Automation are always restarted when the consolereboots, and can be restarted without also restarting the Control Surfaceor Allocation and I/O. Audio is not lost by restarting Assignments andAutomation.The Control Surface will be frozen until Assignments has rebooted andrestored the connection between the Control Surface and Allocation. Thecontrol positions will be restored from the last point at which Assignmentswas working.Control SurfaceThe Control Surface can be restarted without losing audio. Assignmentswill also be restarted if the Control Surface is restarted.The control positions will be restored from the last point at which theControl Surface was working.Allocation and I/OAllocation keeps track of which processes are assigned to which paths(e.g. the number of EQs on Channel 3), and has overall control of signalprocessing.I/O controls the Input and Output resources of the console.If the Allocation and I/O are restarted then the whole system is rebooted.Audio will be lost for between 30 and 90 seconds.Force BootWhen this icon is clicked, there will be a full restart of all sub-systems asdescribed in the previous section.Preferences, I/O Config, SRC and GPI are NOT loaded giving the operatorthe option to select alternative configurations.Extra diagnostics are written to the engineering folders.Upgrade FlashThe console will boot from hard disk, and as part of the boot process, theconsole software will be copied to FLASH RAM and the configurations willbe copied to SRAM.This should only be used when upgrading the software or when additionalhardware not previously "seen" by the system is added to the console.The system will boot slowly because of the extra time to copy the softwareand configurations.- 231 -
