Ashley Protea 4.24G Operating Manual PDF
Protea System Software 1.2 AUDIO FEATURES The Protea audio components consist of state of the art technologies, beginning with a 24 bit, 48kHz delta-sigma A/D converter with 128x oversampling. Digital processing includes EQ, Compression, Limiting, Shelving, Highpass and Lowpass Filters, and Time Delay, taking place in a 100MHz Motorola DSP56303 high performance DSP processor. D/A conversion uses a 24 bit delta-sigma converter with 128x oversampling. Inputs are precision balanced
and RF protected, while outputs may be wired balanced or unbalanced. All audio connections use XLR and 1/4″ phone jacks for greater flexibility. Up to sixteen different audio channels can be linked together for expanded system control using the main 4.24G and slave units 4.24GS, 2.24GS, 4.24PS, and 2.24PS.
USER INTERFACE A key advantage to the Protea system is that all audio functions are intuitively laid out so that a minimum number of keystrokes can quickly change a setting on any channel in real time. With this in mind, two entirely different methods to control the signal processing functions in Protea products have been developed, one using an innovative keyboard interface which is similar to an analog EQ face, while the other uses custom Windows95/98™ software for the PC. Keyboard Interface: The keyboard interface on either the main (4.24G) or remote control (4.24RD) displays information on a 240 x 64 pixel flourescent backlit LCD screen. The combination of the analog-style keyboard and LCD makes navigating around the Protea amazingly simple. The 4.24RD remote control is essentially the “front end” of the 4.24G, allowing remote processor control from within reach of the equipment rack, or from a control room over 1000 feet away. Note: The 4.24RD remote controls the main and graphic EQ slaves, but not the two parametric slaves, 4.24PS and 2.24PS. Parametric slaves require PC control using Protea System Software. Protea System Software: The second type of interface uses Ashly PROTEA SYSTEM SOFTWARE for the Windows95/98 environment, which allows complete PC control through a computer’s RS-232 serial port. Protea System Software controls the main 4.24G, and both graphic and parametric Protea slaves. Protea system software is supplied with slave units, or can be downloaded at no cost from the Ashly web site. At this time, there is no Mac version of Protea System Software available.
