These are typically used as main programme on air, with a separate talkback circuit. The push buttons for each circuit are configurable and can operate in different modes, to allow configuration for different types of uses:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLatching on\/off\u003cbr\u003eMomentary push to talk (PTT)\u003cbr\u003eIntelligent mode where a short tap is latching, but a longer hold becomes momentary\u003cbr\u003eAlways on and mutes when pressed (cough)\u003cbr\u003ePressing one button mutes the other circuit (talkback)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHeadphone Monitoring\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e There is a 6.35mm jack socket for headphone monitoring. Each of the two 4 wire inputs can be selected to be in the left ear, right ear, or both ears of the headphones, depending on the user's preference. The level of each input can also be independently selected.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The headphone amplifier is intelligent and capable of driving correct levels into low or high impedance headphones and capable of connecting directly to both stereo or mono headphones and earpieces.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The headphone monitor also includes sidetone (at a configurable level). Sidetone is the commentator’s own voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSingle Input\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe VITA Mini X is a single user unit, with one high quality input. The input is mic\/mic+48V switchable, on an XLR input, with a variable gain control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the VITA MINI X can be used for on air broadcast, Glensound’s Referee compressor limiter is used to control the audio levels and prevent any clipping. The Referee compressor has been developed over many years of working with sports commentators, and provides a gently increasing compression as the input signal approaches clipping. In normal use the compressor is not active as it only starts working as clipping approaches, so normal dynamic range is maintained.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eInput\/Headset Options\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The VITA Mini X is available in 3 different options:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVITA Mini X\/3F: With 3 pin female XLR mic input\u003cbr\u003e VITA Mini X\/4M: With 4 pin male headset connection (mono headphones) \u003cbr\u003e VITA Mini X\/5F: With 5 pin female headset connection\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll versions also have the 6.35mm headphone jack socket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSingle Network Cable Link\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The VITA Mini X is Dante\/AES67 network audio compatible.

When launched, GlenController scans the network for all connected VITA Mini X units, which show up on the left hand side. The function of each VITA Mini X is replicated on GlenController, with each unit receiving its own visual controller module.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRemote Control Of Mic Gain Levels\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e There is a setting to select +48V phantom power on\/off. A rotary control then acts as the gain level up and down between 7dB to 70dB, with the meters indicating the level. This all operates in real time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTalk Button Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Directly clicking on the program or talkback button on GlenController will work in the same way as if it was pressed locally on the VITA Mini X itself. This allows an engineer to have remote control of the mic on\/off function. Each button can be set independently in the following modes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMomentary - button is active only when held\u003cbr\u003eLatching - a single press locks the button on or off\u003cbr\u003eIntelligent - a short press locks the button, where a longer press acts as momentary \u003cbr\u003eCough\u003cbr\u003eAlways ON\u003cbr\u003eAlways OFF\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe operation of a button can also mute the other circuit. For example, this is used to mute the program mic when the talkback button is pressed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLocal Control Security\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e GlenController can disable the local controls on the unit. This gives security to the engineer using GlenController that they have full control of all levels and operation, and they cannot be overridden. If the pot lock or switch lock controls in GlenController are not active, then adjustment on the local unit will override the remote setting.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical
