Attero Tech Synapse D32Mi

The extension is compatible with Q-SYS Designer version 8.4 and above and Attero Tech firmware version 1.0.0 and above. For best results, use the latest Attero Tech firmware.

1. In the NIC field, select the interface through which the extension will communicate to control the device.
2. In the IP field, specify the IP address of the device and press Enter.

The extension will automatically attempt a connection. The "Connected" LED glows green once a connection is established. If the extension loses its connection to the device, it will attempt to re-establish the connection every 5 seconds.

Note: If Dante Lock is active on the connected device, you will see a padlock icon next to the device name.

Name

The Name may contain ASCII letters 'a' through 'z' (case-insensitive), the digits '0' through '9', and the hyphen. Names cannot begin or end with a hyphen. No other symbols, punctuation characters, or blank spaces are permitted.

Location

User-defined name that groups the component with other components in the same physical location, or in the same organizational scheme.

Is Required

When set to 'Yes' (default), and the device is not found on the network, the device is reported as 'Missing', which is an error condition. When set to 'No', and the device is not found on the network, the device is reported as 'Not Present', which is not an error condition.

Show Debug

Select 'Yes' to show the Debug Output window. For details, see Debug Output.

Refresh

Although the extension monitors the device settings for changes automatically, this button manually triggers the extension to retrieve the current settings and update the extension values to match.

Meters

Enables metering within the extension. The extension polls for metering information once a second and updates signal presence indicators and Dante Rx status for each channel accordingly. The metering function remains active until manually turned off. Click the button to toggle between states.

Identify

Causes the power LED on the front of the device to start blinking so it can easily be identified. The identify function remains active until manually turned off. Click the button to toggle between states.

Status

Normally, this shows "Initializing" for a few moments after starting your design, followed by "OK". If you see a "Fault" status, check your connection parameters. If you see "Missing", ensure that the device is powered on and connected to the network.

Details

Provides information on the connected device such as MAC address, IP address, MCU version, and parameter lock state.

Panel Controls

Mute All / Unmute All

Activates or deactivates the mute function on all 32 outputs simultaneously. Individual mute states are not maintained when these functions are used.

Front Panel Lock

Prevents users from changing the monitoring settings from the front panel of the D32Mi. When enabled, the monitor facility is locked to whatever channel was selected when the lock is applied.

Display Timeout

Adjusts the time of inactivity before the D32Mi display goes into sleep mode. The default setting is 30 seconds.

Input Settings

P48V Phantom Power

Each input has its own P48V phantom power option. Dark red means the phantom power is inactive and pink indicates the phantom power is active. Click the button to change the state.

Mic/Line Level Input Selector

Each input has its own mic/line level input selector. Dark blue indicates the Mic input is selected and light blue indicates the Line input is selected. Click the button to change the state.

Channel Mute

Each output has its own mute. Dark red means the mute is inactive and bright red indicates the mute is active. Click the button to change the mute state.

Preamp Gain

Each input has its own gain control. A drop-down menu is found under the input mutes and is adjustable from a minimum of 0dB to a maximum of 51dB in 3dB increments.
