ADDENDUM WHAT’S NEW IN GALILEO SYSTEM 2.2.0 Galileo Firmware and Compass Control Software v2.2.0 adds additional support for Snapshots, Display Option Controls, Compass Preferences, Compass Windows, and Settings. Use this addendum as a supplement to the Compass 2.1.1 User Guide. Please read the addendum first, as it details enhancements to overall Galileo system control. PREFERENCES: COMPASS AND GALILEO Compass Preferences: Additional settings available for the user interface. The overall organization of the window has changed with the addition of new features. All features for this window are listed below: Figure 1. Compass Preferences. From here the user can change the behavior of the user interface. User Interface Scale This setting allows the entire Compass interface to be scaled to fit the current display resolution. Values range from 50% to 120%. The most commonly used settings are: 80% - scales the interface to fit a resolution of 1024x768 100% - the default scale and best fits a display resolution of 1280x960 120% - fits a resolution of 1600x1200 Plotter Control Handle Scale The control handles in the plotter windows will scale with the User Interface Scale setting. On some displays, this may make the plotter control handles too small to manipulate effectively. This control allows an additional scale percentage to be applied to the control handles. GALILEO 616 USER GUIDE ADDENDUM What’s New in GALILEO SYSTEM 2.2.0 Value Controller Type This setting lets the user choose between Encoder (default) controls and Joystick controls for modifying values with the mouse. Scroll Wheel Mode This setting determines how the mouse scroll wheel will affect value controls such as encoders and faders. The scroll wheel can be inactive, allow fine precision or coarse precision. Fine precision is the default. Fine precision mode will cause values to be changed by 0.1dB for gain controls (and a similar control change for other value types). Coarse precision is 1.0 dB for gain controls. When in coarse precision mode, fine precision will still be available for encoders using the same mouse regions that control the precision for normal encoder rotation. NOTE: The mouse scroll wheel can now be used on Encoder and Fader controls. There are three settings that control how this feature works located under Compass Preferences>Controls. The first option, “Scroll Wheel is Inactive” disables the use of the scroll wheel. This is to avoid inadvertent control changes. There are two precision modes. Fine Precision limits the control precision to 0.1 units per click. Coarse Precision limits the control precision to 1.0 units per click for Faders but for Encoder controls, fine precision will also be available by hovering around the edge of the control. Input Device Type This control only applies to Windows PCs. The Macintosh version always behaves as if it is in tablet mode. When using a tablet with a stylus for controling Compass, this setting should be set to Tablet. Otherwise, it should be set to Mouse (default). This setting only affects the Joystick control and determines whether or not the mouse position on the screen should always snap back to the control after it is moved. Color Mode This setting controls the user interface display colors. The Night (default) color scheme (white text on black background), best for working in dark environments or the Day color scheme (black text on white background) which may be easier to read in lighter environments. Maximum Levels of Undo/Redo This setting controls how many levels of undo/redo will be supported. The default is 1000. The maximum is 10000 and the minimum of 0 turns off undo/redo. There is also a button to clear the undo history. Type in Decibal (dB) Values Default to Negative When checked (default), all gain values will be interpreted as negative unless they are explicitly made positive with a plus (+) sign. Disable Keyboard Control of Buttons When checked (default), keyboard Space Bar or Enter key presses will be ignored by buttons. This is to keep inadvertent key presses from triggering Mute or other settings. ESC Key Removes Cursor Focus in Text Fields When checked, the Escape key in text fields will cause the keyboard focus to be removed from a control preventing inadvertent value modifications. This is unchecked by default. Select All Text When Entering Text Field When checked (default), clicking or tabbing into a text field will cause all text to be selected so the value can be easily modified. Re-select All Text After Editing a Text Field When checked (default), pressing Enter in a text field to accept a changed value will cause all text to be re-selected allowing the value to be easily changed again without manually reselecting the text. 2 GALILEO 616 USER GUIDE ADDENDUM What’s New in GALILEO SYSTEM 2.2.0 GALILEO PREFERENCES: CONTROLS Additional tabs have been added under the Compass tab to change the behavior of Galileo controls, startup, shutdown, and confirmation, snapshot recall, select, isolate and linking, as well as Galileo global linking. Figure 2. Controls. From here the user can change the behavior of Galileo Controls. Galileo Map Output Section Control Order The Galileo Map controls in the Output Section can be configured two different ways. In the default configuration, the controls follow the signal processing order. An alternate configuration keeps settings that are common with the Input Section aligned horizontally. This second option results in a Galileo Map with all common controls aligned between Input and Output Processing. Default Delay Units This feature allows the delay units on all connected Galileos to be changed through one button. The preferred units can be set here and they will be remembered. The default setting is milliseconds Clip Indicator Clear Mode This setting determines how clips will be handled by the Meter controls. The options are: Clip indicator is only on while unit is clipping. (default) Clip indicator is cleared 3 seconds after the last clip. Clip indicator is cleared 10 seconds after the last clip. Clip indicator must be cleared manually by clicking on a meter. Equalization Bypass on Galileo Map is read-only When set, the Equalization Bypass button on the Galileo Map will turn into a read-only indicator. Use TruShaping VX-1 Mode This setting is also located in the TruShaping tabs under Processing. When set, the 3rd and 4th Gain settings for the TruShaping control will be tied together so when one is moved, the other follows. This configuration emulates the filter in the VX-1 Stereo Program Equalizer. 3 GALILEO 616 USER GUIDE ADDENDUM What’s New in GALILEO SYSTEM 2.2.0 Enhance Bandwidth Plotter Control Handle Precision This setting will put the bandwidth control handle (part of the Parametric control handle) in a mode that is four times as precise as the normal mode. This is set by default. In the normal mode, the mouse position directly controls the width in octaves based on the frequency defined by the mouse position. Processing Dual View Mode Uses Common Display Settings When set, the Dual View panes in the Processing tabs will share the same Plotter Display Settings. This is set by default. Show Meter Values When checked, meter values will be displayed on the meter controls. This is normally used for calibration with a constant input level. This is unchecked by default. This setting can also be toggled by clicking on a meter with the Alt key pressed. Show Input Type on Galileo Map Meters When set, the Input Type, Analog or AES, will be displayed on the Galileo Map input section meters. This is set by default. Show Input Voltage Range on Galileo Map Meters When set, the Input Voltage Range will be displayed on the Galileo Map input section meters. Show Output Voltage Range on Galileo Map Meters When set, the Output Voltage Range will be displayed on the Galileo Map output section meters. NOTE: When more Galileo tabs have been created than can fit on the screen, there will be buttons that allow the inaccessible tabs to be selected. These buttons will be displayed when tabs extend beyond the left and right side window limits. They display a pop-up menu that lists all available tabs starting with the first hidden or partially hidden tab. Additionally, the entire tab area can be scrolled to the left or right by grabbing the active tab or the region above the tab area and dragging. NOTE: Atmospheric Correction Distance Linked and VX-1 Mode are now Application Preferences. 4 GALILEO 616 USER GUIDE ADDENDUM What’s New in GALILEO SYSTEM 2.2.0 GALILEO PREFERENCES: STARTUP, SHUTDOWN AND CONFIRMATION This tab allows the user to change the settings related to application startup, shutdown, and confirmation. Figure 3 Startup, Shutdown and Confirmation. Find available Galileos on startup (default) When checked, Compass will attempt to find Galileos on the network and add them to the Galileos tab. When not checked, Compass will still attempt to find Galileos but will only update the status of Galileos that already exist in the Galileos tab. Relaunch and reconnect to previously connected Virtual Galileos on startup. If a Galileo tab was previously connected to an internally managed Virtual Galileo when shutting down then Compass will relaunch and reconnect to Virtual Galileo when starting. This is unchecked by default. Reconnect to previously connected Galileos on startup. When checked, Compass will re-connect to any previously connected Galileos if they are available. Confirm Galileo Change Undo/Redo (default) When checked, any undo or redo command that changes the current Galileo tab will require user confirmation. Confirm Galileo Channel Change Undo/Redo (default) When checked, any undo or redo command that changes the current Galileo channel will require user confirmation. Confirm Galileo Input Type Change Undo/Redo (default) When checked, any undo or redo command that changes an Input Type setting will require user confirmation. Confirm Galileo Input Type Change (default) When checked, changes to an Input Type setting will require user confirmation. Ask Before Exiting Compass (default) When checked, closing Compass will require confirmation. Confirm Disconnect For Unsaved Snapshot (default) When checked, disconnecting from a Galileo will require confirmation if the current snapshot is modified. Confirm Disconnect For Unsaved Project (default) When checked, disconnecting from a Galileo will require confirmation if the current project is modified. 5 GALILEO 616 USER GUIDE ADDENDUM What’s New in GALILEO SYSTEM 2.2.0 GALILEO PREFERENCES: SNAPSHOT RECALL The Snapshot Recall tab contains the same settings that are displayed to the user in the Snapshot Recall and Snapshot Recall Filtered dialogs. These are used for excluding certain types of settings. There is also a setting that determines whether or not the active snapshot should be updated before the new one is recalled. Figure 4. Snapshot Recall Preferences. From here the user can change the behavior how snapshots are recalled. Update Active Snapshot Before Recall When checked, if the current snapshot is unlocked, it will be updated automatically before recalling a new snapshot. Exclude The Following Snapshot Settings The following settings can be optionally excluded from a Snapshot Recall: Input Channel Types, Input/Output Voltage Ranges, Input and Output Mutes. 6 GALILEO 616 USER GUIDE ADDENDUM What’s New in GALILEO SYSTEM 2.2.0 GALILEO PREFERENCES: SELECT, ISOLATE AND LINKING Channel settings can be linked together so that the modification of one setting on one channel affects the same setting on linked channels. Channel linking is primarly done using Select buttons and, depending on the linking preferences outlined below, Link Groups. Isolate buttons will temporarily remove a channel from linking. Figure 5. Channel Linking and Select Options. From here the user can change the behavior of select isolate and linking for individual Galileos. Allow Select and Isolate Settings to be recalled from a snapshot When checked (default), the state of the channel Selects and Isolates will be recalled when recalling a snapshot. These settings are always saved in snapshots but the user can choose to ignore them when recalling a snapshot by unchecking this options. De-select all channels when the active Galileo tab changes When checked, all channel selects for a Galileo tab will be de-selected when the user changes to a different Galileo tab. Note that channel isolates are not affected. Gain Control Linking Mode For additional information on this feature, see Channel Gain Alt Modifer. Link Groups and Selects Mode The Input and Output Link Groups feature has two distinct operating modes. In the default mode ‘Selected channels are always selected in groups if part of an enabled Link Group’, link groups are used to force channel selects to be selected or de-selected as a group as defined by the link group. This is the behavior in Compass 1.x. The alternate mode ‘Enabled Link Group channels are linked independently and in addition to selected channels’ allows for an additional method of linking channels, as described by the option. 7 GALILEO 616 USER GUIDE ADDENDUM What’s New in GALILEO SYSTEM 2.2.0 Isolate Linking Behavior When a channel is isolated, any selects, link groups, and/or keyboard modifiers will be ignored when modifying a setting for that channel. This feature controls whether or not isolated channels will be modified when a setting on a different, nonisolated, channel is modified and linked to the isolated channel through selects, link groups and/or keybaord modifiers. By default, isolated channels will not be modified when changing a setting on a different channel that is linked to it. The option ‘Isolated channels will be included when linking from another channel’ allows the isolated channel to be modified. System Settings - Enable Linking Across Selected Galileos System Settings are global and not part of any particular channel. They may be linked to other selected Galileos using these options for the tabs: Input and Output Settings, SIM3 Settings, Environment, M Series Array Correction and Link Groups. These options are also available on the individual tab pages for each Galileo. By default, settings on these tabs are not linked across selected Galileos. GALILEO PREFERENCES: GALILEO GLOBAL LINKING The Global Galileo Select Linking Mode options under Channel Linking Preferences control how changes to Galileo settings are linked to other Galileos that have been linked via the Selects and Link IDs on the Galileos tab. Figure 6. The Galileo Global Linking. These settings that determine how linking across Galileos is done. This includes both channel linking and linking of settings that are not part of a channel. All selected channels on selected Galileos are globally linked This is the default mode. In this mode, only channels that are selected using channel selects on all globally linked Galileos are linked. Given Galileos labeled AA, BB and CC; if output channels 1, 2 and 3 are selected on AA, channels 4, 5 and 6 are selected on BB and channels 7, 8 and 9 are selected on CC then any change made to a channel listed here will be applied to every other listed channel. This assumes that the modified channel has not been isolated with a Isolate button or CONTROL key modifier (COMMAND key on Mac). 8 GALILEO 616 USER GUIDE ADDENDUM What’s New in GALILEO SYSTEM 2.2.0 Selected channels on the active Galileo tab are linked to the same channels, by letter or number, on other selected Galileos. In this mode, any modifications to a selected channel or select-linked channel will be applied to the same channel on linked Galileos. Assuming the same example scenario as above, changes to settings on channel 1, 2 or 3 on Galileo AA will be applied to channels 1, 2 and 3 on AA, BB and CC. Similarly, changes to settings on channel 5 of Galileo BB will be applied to channels 4, 5 and 6 on AA, BB and CC. All channels on the active Galileo tab are always linked to the same channels, by letter or number, on other selected Galileos. In this mode, any modifications to any channel either made directly or made as part of select linking, independent link group linking or through control key modifiers will be applied to the same channels on all globally linked Galileos. That is, if a channel is modified by any means, that change will be applied to the same channel on linked Galileos. In this mode, the background highlighting for non-selected Galileos will be magenta. There is an additional option that applies to this mode: Isolate Mode will determine whether or not isolated channels are isolated only from linking within the active Galileo or are isolated from global linking as well. The available options are: Enable global linking of isolated channels. Disable global linking of isolated channels. (default) 9 GALILEO 616 USER GUIDE ADDENDUM What’s New in GALILEO SYSTEM 2.2.0 GALILEOS TAB: ADDITIONAL CONTROLS The Galileos tab has additional controls for adding Galileos to either the primary or secondary window. Figure 7. Galileos Tab. From here the user can add or remove Galileos to and from the Primary and Secondary Windows. Show Galileo Tabs in Separate Window This setting allows the individual Galileo tabs that are normally displayed in the Compass main window to be displayed in a separate floating window. Show Secondary Galileo Tabs Window This setting controls the display of the secondary Galileo tabs window. Tabs can be assigned to the secondary and primary windows in the Galileos tab. Show Overview in Separate Window This setting controls whether the Overview tab is displayed in the Compass main window or a separate floating window. Show Galileo Global Features This setting controls whether the Global Project, Global Snapshot and Global Environment controls are visible in the Galileos tab. When checked, the Global Project, Global Snapshot and Global Environment settings will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. At the bottom of this page are options for the Global Project and Global Snapshot. These options may be hidden depending on the Show Galileo Global Features setting. Please see those help sections for more information. The main area of this page contains the list of configured Galileos. Galileos that are not connected can be removed from this list with ‘X’ buttons on the left side of the page. The order of the Galileos in this list can be changed with the graphical ‘^’ and ‘v’ buttons. 10 GALILEO 616 USER GUIDE ADDENDUM What’s New in GALILEO SYSTEM 2.2.0 Figure 8. Galileos Tab. From here the user can add or remove Galileos to and from the Primary and Secondary Windows. X - This button will be available for non-connected Galileos and will remove the Galileo row. Up/Down Arrows - These buttons are used to move an entry up and down in the list. This also affects the tab order. Link/Select - This setting is used to link multiple Galileos together similar to the way that individual channels can be linked together. ID - Unlike channel selects, Galileo selects can be configured in multiple, independent groups. This ID determines which group the Galileo will be part of. IP Address - The IP address of the Galileo. This may be set to a dummy value for Virtual Galileo use. Galileo Nickname - This setting is used to differentiate Galileos. It is primarily informational but is also used by the Galileo Global Project feature. Tab Name - This is the name used in the tab part of each Galileo’s tab page. It is generally best to leave this the same as the nickname but can be made shorter if needed so that all Galileo tabs are visible. Version - This is the detected version of the Galileo firmware. If the firmware version is compatible with the Compass version then this will be displayed in blue. Otherwise, it will be displayed as amber indicating that this Galileo should have its firmware upgraded. Status - The current Galileo connection status. Connection - This button will allow the user to Connect, Disconnect or Refresh a Galileo depending on the status. Virtual - This button will allow a Virtual Galileo to be launched so that work can be done on a project without having to connect to a real Galileo. When connected to a Virtual Galileo, this will be a blue flashing indicator. Meters - This toggle button will determine whether a Virtual Galileo has simulated meter values for demo purposes Window - This column has three toggle settings. The 1 column determines whether or not a Galileo tab will be displayed in the main window or separate primary Galileos window (depending on the Show Galileo Tabs in Separate Window option). The 2 column determines whether or not a Galileo tab will be displayed in the secondary Galileos window (this window is only visible of the Show Secondary Galileo Tabs Window option is checked. The O column specified whether or not the current Galileo is displayed in the Overview tab. 11 GALILEO 616 USER GUIDE ADDENDUM What’s New in GALILEO SYSTEM 2.2.0 NOTE: The Tab column in Compass 2.1.1 has been replaced by a Window column which controls the visibility of the Galileo devices in the primary window [1], secondary window [2] and Overview tab [O]. Global Project and Global Snapshot have been moved to the bottom of the screen above Global Environment Global Environment is now read-only with a dialog that allows it to be modified and applied to selected Galileos. Figure 9. Windows Display Options. NOTE: The Window Display Options menu is displayed when the user hovers the cursor on the Meyer Sound logo in the upper left hand corner of the application screen. This menu contains options that control how the current window is displayed and additional options to exit Compass and shows the Compass About box. The display options determine the scale of the current window in percent and how the window is positioned on the screen. NOTE: When more Galileo tabs have been created than can fit on the screen, there will be buttons that allow the inaccessible tabs to be selected. These buttons will be displayed when tabs extend beyond the left and right side window limits. They display a pop-up menu that lists all available tabs starting with the first hidden or partially hidden tab. Additionally, the entire tab area can be scrolled to the left or right by grabbing the active tab or the region above the tab area and dragging. 12 GALILEO 616 USER GUIDE ADDENDUM What’s New in GALILEO SYSTEM 2.2.0 GALILEO MAP: ADDITIONAL FEATURES Additional Channel Number/Letter indicators on Galileo Map Additional indicators, the the left of the plotter thumbnails, also function as “jump to” buttons that take you to the Input or Output Processing tabs. Figure 10. Galileo Map showing aligned common settings. INPUT & OUTPUT PROCESSING: ADDITIONAL RESPONSE DISPLAY OPTIONS The frequency response for the Graphic EQ can be turned on in the Input Plotter Display Settings controls under the Response tab. These settings are available by checking the Settings checkbox at the top of the Input Processing tab page. The Atmospheric Correction and Array Correction responses can be turned on in the corresponding tab under Output Processing. These options are turned off by default. 13 GALILEO 616 USER GUIDE ADDENDUM What’s New in GALILEO SYSTEM 2.2.0 Figure 11. Input Processing Response Figure 12. Output Processing Response GALILEO SETTINGS: LOG TAB Displays the Galileo Log, an important source of diagnostic information. This information was previously only available in Compass 1.x. This feature is located under the selected Galileo’s Settings/Log tab. There are options to save the log, add a log entry, clear the log, filter the log entries by severity and sort the log by column. Additionally, when Compass is connected, a log entry is created which has the date/time from the client computer. This will help determine when log entries occured since the internal clock is not persistent. Figure 13. Log Tab. View Log entries for individual Galileos 14 GALILEO 616 USER GUIDE ADDENDUM What’s New in GALILEO SYSTEM 2.2.0 KEYBOARD CONTROLS: Tab key navigation now follows the same control, channel by channel on the Galieo Map and the Input/Output Masters pages.
