Description/Objective

In this example, there are 16 cameras, each with their own microphone, and an adjacent observation room with 2 OWISP speakers. The customer is also requesting a User Interface, with the ability to solo one mic at a time through their overhead speakers, mute all mics, and adjust the speaker levels. This means we will also build a Canvas User Interface (this will be covered in another section). Before building in Canvas, it is crucial to create the Tesira configuration properly.


Physical Wiring/Line Diagram

Below is the physical wiring diagram, which includes 2 Tesira Forte, a Remote Expander EX/IO, and an Extreme X440 AVB Switch.

Tesira Software

Connections

  1. If the physical connections are complete, open the Tesira software and start building a configuration.
  2. In this configuration use the following blocks:
    • TesiraFORTE CI block x 2
    • Output Block with 4 channels (the remote expander)
    • Peak Meter x 7
    • Uber Filter x 16
    • Level Block with 16 ports and another with 1 port
    • Compressor with "ganged mode" and "advanced curve"
    • Matrix Mixer with 16 inputs and 16 outputs, with one extra output
    • Standard Mixer with 16 inputs and 1 output
  1. Connect the blocks as follows:
    • Connect two peak meters to the Tesira Input blocks. This will help ensure proper levels are set on the preamp.
    • Connect the AEC block to the Uber Filters, then the Filters to the Level Block.
    • Connect the Level Block to the Compressor and two Peak Meters.
    • Connect the Compressor to the Matrix Mixer.
    • Connect the outputs from the mixer to the Output blocks and the Standard Mixer.
    • Connect the extra output from the Matrix Mixer to the AEC reference blocks. The Automatic Echo Cancellation feature will not be used in this example.
    • Send the output of the Standard Mixer to the second Level Block, then the level block to the final Peak Meter and the Output Block for the EX/IO Expander.


When this is complete, the file should look something like this:

  1. The Level Block will be used in the Canvas UI to mute or unmute the audio, and control the output volume of the OWISP speakers.
  2. The Input Mute buttons on the Standard Mixer will be used to activate or mute the mic channels.
