Flex Output Component

The Flex Channel feature on the Core 110f provides eight audio channels that can be individually switched between line inputs and line outputs. The Flex Output Component provides the control and selection of the line-level outputs on the Core 110f. The Flex Output component converts the processed digital signal to analog and provides software controls before and after the convertor. Connections are made using three-terminal 3.5mm Euro style connectors.

VIDEO TUTORIAL: Video tutorial available online for Configuring Flex Channels.

NOTE: The Flex Input and Output components are not for use with QSC DataPort amplifiers.

Controls

The controls listed below are divided into sections to match the Control Panel sections. Each control listed in the Analog and Digital sections, are one per channel.

Once you establish the initial settings for a component, you can save those settings, along with all the other component's settings, in a Snapshot.

Flex I/O

Control	Function	Default/Range
Output	Changes the associated channel to a Flex Output channel. To switch back to a Flex Input channel, you must enable the channel in the Flex Input component.	Default = disabled Range = disabled / enabled

Output

Changes the associated channel to a Flex Output channel.

To switch back to a Flex Input channel, you must enable the channel in the Flex Input component.

Default = disabled

Range = disabled / enabled

Analog

Control	Function	Default/Range
Peak Output Level (dBu)	Measures Peak Output level to the output device.	N/A
Output Mute	Mutes the output after the D-A converter and before the output.	Off / On
Max RMS Output Level (dBu)	Controls the RMS output level after the D/A converter.	Default = 21 Range = -10 to +21

Max RMS Output Level (dBu)

Controls the RMS output level after the D/A converter.

Default = 21

Range = -10 to +21

Digital

Control	Function	Default/Range
Peak Output Level (dBFS)	Measures the Digital Signal level prior to the D/A converter.	Green = good Yellow = close to clipping Red = clipping
Clip	Red LED indicating if the signal is being clipped.	Off/On
Clip Hold	Holds the clip indication until manually cleared.	Off/On
Invert	Inverts the audio signal.	Off/On
Mute	Mutes the digital audio signal.	Off/On
Gain (dB)	Controls the gain of the digital audio signal prior to the D/A converter.	Default = 0 Range = -100 to +20

Status

Control	Function	Default/Range
Status	Displays the current status of the amplifier both in text and color. The following is a list of possible status colors, and some example conditions. OK – Green – (0) – Audio is good, hardware is good. Compromised – Orange – (1) – Audio is good but a redundancy mechanism is active (one LAN down but the other is still up) or a non-fatal hardware problem exists (fans too slow, temperature higher than expected, etc.) Fault – Red – (2) – Audio is not passing, or hardware is malfunctioning or mis-configured (amplifier power off, audio streams broken, wrong type of I/O Card installed, loudspeaker short circuit, etc.) Missing – Red – (3) – A piece of hardware, defined in the design, has not been discovered. Audio is not passing through that piece of hardware. Initializing – Blue – (5) – In the process of firmware, configuration update, and design start. Audio is obviously bad. Not Present – Gray – A virtual component in the design, that is designated as Dynamically Paired, and Not Required ,has no hardware assigned to it.	N/A
