Page Station Aux Line Out Component

The Page Station Aux Line Out feature allows you to send a line level audio signal to the Page Station for amplification and use. This feature is entirely separate from the Page Station functionality.

The Page Station Aux Line Out component allows you to control and monitor the digital gain, and analog output level going to the Line Out connector on the physical Page Station. In addition, this component supplies the input signal pin to which an audio source is connected in the design. You must drag a Page Station Aux Line Out component into your Q-SYS design to enable this feature.

Inputs

Aux Line Out - Connect an audio source in your design to this input pin. The signal is processed through the Digital section of the component, then the Analog section, then sent via Q-LAN to the Page Station Line Out connector.

Outputs

There are no outputs for this component. The output is the Line Out connector on the physical Page Station.

Controls

Analog

Control	Function	Default / Range
Peak Output Level (dBFS)	Graphic display of the Aux output indicating the peak analog output level.	Default = N / A Range = -100 to 20
Analog Mute	Mutes the Auxiliary analog output.	Off / On
Max RMS Output Level (dBu)	Controls the RMS Output level for the Aux output. The maximum level signal that can go out the D to A without clipping is 0 dBFS peak or -3 dBFS RMS. The "Max RMS Output Level (dBu)" control sets the analog level at which the signal will appear at the output.	Default = 21 Range = -10 to 6

Properties

Property	Function	Choices
Name	Identifies the Page Station component in Q-SYS Designer, enabling the connection between the design and the physical Page Station. This name should be the same as the Page Station Device Name (hostname Hostnames may contain ASCII letters 'a' through 'z' (case-insensitive), the digits '0' through '9', the hyphen, and the underscore. Hostname labels cannot begin or end with a hyphen. No other symbols, punctuation characters, or blank spaces are permitted. ) in the Q-SYS Configurator. Click in the Name property and type the Name. The name must follow standard naming conventions. The Administrator restricts the name according to the following: ASCII characters a - z (case insensitive) Digits 0 - 9 Hyphen (cannot be at the beginning or end of the name) Underscore (acceptable with a Q-SYS implementation) No other characters, symbols, punctuation, or blank spaces.	User input
Location	User defined Location for the Page Station.	User input
Is Network Redundant	Indicates if the Page Station is connected to redundant networks.	No / Yes
Is Required	When Is Required is set to Yes, an error displays if the hardware does not exist on the network. This is the default behavior. When Is Required is set to No, the device is identified as not present, its status state is Not Present which is not considered an error. The color displayed for “Not Present” equipment is gray. If a device is dynamically assignable but has not been assigned, it is considered Not Present” even if it is required.	Yes / No
Is Dynamic	Indicates that this virtual component can be paired with the same type of hardware without changing the network id of the hardware, or the name of this component. Refer to Dynamic Pairing for more information.	Yes / No
Model	Selects the Model of the Page Station. Initially, you choose the model when you place the Page Station into the Inventory. You can change it here if needed.	PS-400 PS-800 PS-1600 PS-1650
Enable Expander	Enables the Page Station to support the use of the Page Station Expander (PS-X ). The PS-X allows you to connect a Q-SYS handheld microphone that can be mounted in the same general area as the Page Station. For example, the Page Station is mounted on the airline gate desk, whereas the PS-X is mounted at the gate itself. When the Expander is enabled, the Aux Mic, and GPIO components are no longer available.	Yes / No
Verbose	Displays the Networking and Audio Stream details for LAN A and LAN B. You must have Is Network Redundant set to Yes to see LAN B details.	No / Yes
