Description
Processing an Audio Signal
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application represents the first application for a patent directed towards the invention and the subject matter.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Audio modules are known that are arranged to be supported vertically in a carrier, wherein the carrier is then arranged to be supported horizontally in a rack. Examples of modules of this type are identified by the designations “500 Series” and “X-Rack”; the latter produced by the present applicant.
With modules of this type, space is limited and an example may include a front-panel with a vertical dimension of three inches and a horizontal dimension of one point five inches. Other limitations are present, such that in some environments, it is not possible for a module to consume more than 260 milliamps of current. However, compatibility with existing systems is considered to be highly desirable if a new module system is to be adopted.
A particular problem involves the space available for providing manual controls. Greater miniaturisation of electronic circuits allows significant levels of functionality to be provided in a relatively small module. However, a manual interface is required in order to allow an operative to use the audiomodule. Consequently, it is only possible to include a limited number of manual controls on a typical front-panel.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION Figure 1
An audio-module 101 is shown in Figure 1 and includes a firstmounting-bracket 102 and a second-mounting-bracket 103 for mounting the audio-module 101 in a carrier, as described with reference to Figure 7. In this embodiment, the audio-module 101 includes a transparent front-panel 104. This allows light generated within the module to be transmitted out through the transparent-panel 104 such that, in an embodiment, the panel is seen to glow in, for example, red, green or blue. Alternatively, the front-panel 104 may be constructed from a translucent material such that it is not actually possible to see components within the module but light emitted within the module still remains visible.
A first-rotary-control 105, a second-rotary-control 106, a third-rotarycontrol 107, a fourth-rotary-control 108 and a fifth-rotary-control 109 provide a plurality of manually operable rotary controls that extend from the frontpanel 104.
The audio-module 101 includes a processing system, described with reference to Figure 2, for operating in accordance with a first functionality during which the rotary-controls 105 to 109 are configured to control a first set of parameters defined by the first functionality. Furthermore, the processing system is also configured to operate in accordance with a second functionality during which the rotary-controls 105 to 109 are configured to control a second set of parameters defined by the second functionality. In an embodiment, the processing system is also configured to operate in accordance with a third functionality during which the rotary controls are configured to control a third set of parameters defined by said third functionality.
The audio-module 101 includes a light-emitting-device that generates light to illuminate the front panel in a first colour during the first functionality. This light-emitting-device generates light to illuminate the front-panel 104 in a second colour during the second functionality. In an embodiment, the lightemitting-device may be configured to generate red light during the first functionality, green light during a second functionality and blue light during a third functionality. In an embodiment, the light-emitting-devices are light emitting diodes. These may be light emitting diodes of a type that can generate output light having a range of colours, possibly by including red, green and blue emitters within a unifying enclosure.
In an embodiment, the control module itself has light emitting diodes on the front-panel 104. These include front-panel-diode 110 that could be energised to identify the functionality of the module, in accordance with the present invention. However, in an embodiment, the front panel diodes are used to indicate operations performed when implementing a functionality and an additional light emitting diode is enclosed within the module itself, to illuminate substantially all of the front-panel 104.
All of the rotary-controls 105 to 109 are available for controlling specific parameters during a selected functionality. However, the first-rotarycontrol 105 also operates as a selection-control that is configured to operate in an alternative configuration to facilitate manual selection between the first functionality and the second functionality; and possibly further functionalities. To place the first-rotary-control 105 into its alternative configuration, a manually operable shift-button 111 is provided. The manually operable shiftbutton 111 is configured to return to a first state after being pressed and held to indicate a second state. When the shift-button 111 is not pressed, the selection-control (implemented as the first-rotary-control 105) adjusts a parameter of a selected functionality. However, when the shift-button 111 is pressed and held in position, the first-rotary-control 105 (providing selectioncontrol) facilitates selection of the first functionality or the second functionality; or further functionalities etc.
Figure 2
A processing system operates in accordance with a first functionality during which the rotary-controls 105 to 109 are configured to control a first set of parameters defined by the first functionality. Furthermore, the processing system is also configured to operate in accordance with a second functionality during which the rotary-controls 105 to 109 are configured to control a second set of parameters defined by the second functionality. The processing system, as illustrated in Figure 2, includes a microcontroller 201 and an audio-processing-circuit 202. The audio-processing-circuit 202 receives analogue audio input signals on an audio-input-line 203. In this embodiment, signals are processed in the analogue domain, in response to digital control signals received from the microcontroller 201. Consequently, an analogue output audio signal is supplied on an audio-output-line 204.
The apparatus of Figure 2 processes audio signals received on the audio-input-line 203 to produce an output that is returned on the audiooutput-line 204. The audio-processing-circuit 202 processes the audio signals in response to manual operation of manual-controls 105 to 109. The processing system is configured to operate in accordance with a first functionality and during this operation the manual controls control parameters of the first functionality. In addition, the processing system is configured to operate in accordance with a second functionality and again during operation in accordance with this second functionality, the manual controls control parameters of the second functionality. Manual-control 105 is configured to allow manual selection of the first functionality or the second functionality. A visual-indicator 205 provides a visual indication when operating in accordance with the second functionality.
In an embodiment, the processing system, comprising the combination of the microcontroller 201 and the audio-processing-circuit 202, is configured to operate in accordance with a third functionality. Consequently, during operation in accordance with this third functionality, the manual controls control parameters of the third functionality and the visual indicator 205 provides a third visual indication.
The shift-button 111 is shown in Figure 2 and the rotary controls, such as rotary-control 105, include a physical-position-indicator 206.
The visual-indicator 205 may be implemented as a multi-coloured light emitting diode device, such that a first colour may be emitted during operation in accordance with the first functionality and a second colour may be emitted during operation in accordance with the second functionality. The visual-indicator 205 is positioned within the module such that light emitted is visible through the front-panel 104.
To provide a range of different coloured illuminations, the visualindicator 205 may include a red-light-emitting-diode 206, a green-lightemitting-diode 207 and a blue-light-emitting-diode 208. In an alternative configuration, when providing a total of three functionalities, separate light emitting diode devices may be provided and only one of these devices is illuminated when a particular functionality is selected. Thus, in an embodiment, when operating in accordance with a first functionality, lightemitting-diode 206 is illuminated, when operating in a second functionality light-emitting-diode 207 is illuminated and when operating in accordance with a third functionality, light-emitting-diode 208 is illuminated, providing red, green or blue illumination respectively.
Figure 3
In an embodiment, the microcontroller 201 operates under program control. Programs reside in memory and an example of a memory-map 301 is illustrated in Figure 3. In this example, area 302 may store an operating system and an operational platform including instructions that are shared across multiple functionalities. In particular, these instructions include procedures for switching between functionalities and providing a visual output to a user, to indicate the particular functionality currently deployed.
In addition, first-specific-instructions 303 are included to implement the first functionality, second-specific-instructions 304 are included for implementing the second functionality and third-specific-instructions 305 are included for implementing the third functionality. Further specific instructions will be provided if additional functionalities are required. Additional memory space 306 is provided for the temporary storage of data during execution and for the storage of user generated data.
Figure 4
Operations performed by the microcontroller 201 are illustrated in Figure 4. In response to activation of the shift-button 111, an interrupt is generated that is serviced at step 401. At step 402, audio activity is placed on hold to allow a mode of operation to be selected. This may include muting audio output from the audio-output-line 204.
While the shift-button 111 is held down, the first-primary-control 105 adopts its alternative configuration for allowing functionality to be selected. During the rotation of the first-rotary-control 105 at this stage, its rotary location is monitored, but not implemented, to select a functionality when the shift-button 111 is released. However, as manual rotation occurs, the visualindicator 205 is driven at step 403 to represent the specific functionality that would be adopted if selection were made at that position. Thus, in an embodiment, as the first-rotary-control 105 is rotated, the visual-indicator 205 will cycle through three output colours of red, green and blue representing a selection of the first, second or third functionality respectively.
At step 404, in response to the shift-button 111 being released, a specific audio functionality is selected. Thus, for example, the first-rotarycontrol 105 may have been released when the visual-indicator 205 is emitting green light, such that the whole of the front-panel 104 appears green. Upon release of the shift-button 111, the second functionality is deployed and operational instructions are read from memory-locations 304.
In a first embodiment, all of the instructions may be deployed within executable memory. Alternatively, an overlay operation may be performed, such that instructions are read from storage-location 304 into an executable memory space. Instructions 304 are then executed, such that the specific functionality is provided for the device and parameter control is allocated to the rotary-controls 105 to 109. Thus, this functionality continues to be provided until a further interrupt is received at step 405. In response to receiving an interrupt, a question is asked at step 406 as to whether this relates to functionality adjustment. If answered in the affirmative, the interrupt is again serviced at step 401. Alternatively, if the interrupt does not relate to functionality adjustment, other features are serviced at step 407.
The procedures therefore provide a method of optimising the use of a limited number of rotary-controls 105 to 109 that extend from an illuminatable front-panel 104 of the audio module. An audio-processing-device 202 is configured to operate in accordance with a plurality of selectable functionalities. Controllable parameters are allocated to each of the rotary controls for each of these functionalities and a unique identifiable illumination of the front-panel is provided for each.
In an embodiment, the functionality implements analogue processing upon analogue audio signals, in which a digital microcontroller 201 controls the operation of an analogue-audio-processing-circuit 202.
To again optimise of the use of the available controls within the constrained space, one of the rotary-controls 105 is also configured to operate as a selection-control to allow manual selection of the functionality.
Figure 5
A carrier 501 is arranged to support a plurality of audio modules, including audio-module 101. A rear-view of an example of a carrier is illustrated in Figure 5. The carrier 501 includes a power-lead 502, such that an audio module supported within the carrier is arranged to receive power from the carrier. In this example, the carrier is configured to support a total of ten audio modules.
Each module includes an interface for receiving power from the carrier
501. Furthermore, for each module, the carrier includes a carrier-outputsocket 503 and a carrier-input-socket 504. In this example, the carrieroutput-socket 303 is implemented as a female XLR connector, with a corresponding carrier-input-socket 504 being implemented as a male XLR connector. However, it can be appreciated that many other different types of connector could be deployed for this application.
Figure 6
A front view of carrier 501 is illustrated in Figure 6. This shows a plurality of carrier interface sockets, including carrier-interface-socket 601 that supplies power to a connected module, connects the module to the carrier-output-socket 503 and connects the module to the carrier-inputsocket 504. The carrier also includes a third-mounting-bracket 602 and a fourth-mounting-bracket 603, for mounting the carrier 501 within a conventional rack, as described with reference to Figure 8.
Figure 7
As illustrated in Figure 7, audio-module 101 is shown supported substantially vertically in carrier 501. In this example, an additional similar audio-module 701 has also been introduced into the carrier 501. As is known in the art, many different types of audio module may be introduced with differing degrees of sophistication.
Figure 8
After audio modules, including audio-module 101, have been received within the carrier 501, the carrier as a whole may be arranged to be supported substantially horizontally in a rack 801. The rack 801 may then be used to support other audio equipment collectively forming part of an overall audio processing environment.
