RTA - Band-Pass
The RTA (Real Time Analyzer) - Band-Pass component allows you to measure the magnitude of a signal over the audio frequency range. The RTA - Band-Pass is typically used for tuning your system. For example, you can place microphones around your venue, feed them into the RTA - Band-Pass, and adjust the EQ for the individual areas to get the best/same tuning for each area.
Input Pins
Input
Audio signal pins are represented by a () circle, and traditional wiring is represented by a thin black line. You can use Signal Names on audio signal pins.
By default, the RTA- Band-Pass component only has one input pin available.
Output Pins
This component does not have any output pins available.
RTA - Band-Pass Properties
Bandwidth
Selects the bandwidth for the band-pass filters in the RTA - Band-Pass.
One octave provides 10 filters for the audio spectrum giving a wide bandwidth for each filter and a smoother response. A bandwidth of 1/24 octave provides 124 filters giving a narrow bandwidth for each filter, and a more granular response - more distinct highs and lows. You can choose from the following:
- 1 Octave
- 1/3 Octave
- 1/6 Octave
- 1/12 Octave
- 1/24 Octave
Graphic Properties
Label
Use the Label property to change the name of the component in the schematic. The Label property defaults to the component name. To learn more about renaming schematic elements, see Organizing Your Design.
Position
The coordinates reference a specific place in the schematic - for example,"100,100" (horizontal, vertical). 0,0 is the upper left corner of the schematic.
Fill
Sets the fill color of the component in the schematic.
Script Access Properties
Code Name
Displays the currently assign name for control access. You can use the auto-assigned name or customize it. Q-SYS will automatically check all Code Names in the design to ensure name is unique.
Script Access
Defines whether the component will be accessible by script and/or externally, or not at all. Choices include All, External, None (default), and Script.
- None (default) - Not accessible by any script, plugin, or by Q-SYS Remote Control Protocol (QRC).
- Script - Can be accessed by scripts, such as Text Controller, Block Controllers, and plugins only.
- External - Can only be accessed by 3rd party controls systems using component commands from the Q-SYS Remote Control Protocol (QRC).
- All - No restrictions, can be accessed by 3rd party control systems via Q-SYS Remote Control Protocol (QRC), or script objects or plugin objects.
Tip: Use Script Programmer Mode to quickly view the Script Access setting directly on the component in the design schematic without the need to disconnect from the Q-SYS Core processor.
Response Graph
Response Panel
Graphical display of the RTA - Band-Pass response.
Configure
RMS Response Time constant (ms / seconds)
Sets the RMS Level Detector time constant for both attack and decay.
This controls how quickly the RTA - Band-Pass A respond to changes in the input levels.
Max Hold Time (seconds)
Sets how long the maximum magnitude displays are held before refreshing.
Infinite Hold (button)
Holds the display, until the button is disengaged.
During the period the Infinite Hold button is on, the RTA - Band-Pass updates the display with any magnitudes that are higher than the initial response, but does not change if the magnitude is lower.
Clear Response
Clears the Response Panel display.
Note: These outputs represent array values displayed in the RTA graph that may be used in scripting.
