The Mixer menu supports the following features: Gain adjustment for audio inputs Mixer matrix with individual level adjustment Saving & loading of 8 user mixer profiles Loading of 8 factory mixer profiles Saving & loading of mixer profiles for simplified user interface (Skins, e.g.

Reporter Mode 1 & 2)

Mixer levels adjustment can be grouped. How this is done is determined by the Mixer Mode at menu item Monitor/Setup.

3.1.2.1 Structure of dialog and navigation

All mixer screens consist of 2 operational fields: mixer menu area (left side) with the entries:

- mem- gain- out - rec- send

level rotary knobs




Change between the operational fields is possible with the OK button.

In the mixer menu area the navigation is possible by the ~ and cursor buttons.

In the rotary knobs' area adjustable levels and pannings can be selected with the | and } cursor buttons. The currently adjustable levels and panning's aremarked. With the ~ and cursor buttons or with the physical rotary knobs thelevel and panning adjustment can be done.

The panning or level state of the currently underlined control is shown on theright side as a percentage.

3.1.2.2 Mixer profiles

When menu bar item 'mem' is selected it can be changed between factory anduser profiles with the function keys F1 and F2. The mixer profiles at the tabSKINS (F3) will be only applied if User Interface is set to Reporter mode.

At this item 8 User profiles 8 Factory profiles Specific profiles for Reporter Mode 'SKINS' (see chapter Reporter Mode)can be loaded, saved, edited or deleted.

Note: Escape to the main Mixer menu can be done by pressing F4 button.

3.1.2.2.1 User profiles

Meaning of the Memory buttons for User profiles:Load: Selected mixer profile becomes activeSave: Current mixer settings are saved in the currently selected mixer profileEdit: Here the currently selected mixer profile can be renamedDel: Clears all the settings in the currently selected mixer profile (i.e. loading such

3.1.2.2.3 Skin (Reporter mode) profiles

This feature should only be used by experienced users.

Meaning of the Memory buttons for Skin profiles:Load: Selected mixer profile is loaded on the device e.g. for further modifications.Save: Current mixer settings are saved in the currently selected mixer profile

Note:Usually it is not necessary to change the Skin profile for Reporter Modes.However, in the Reporter Mode some audio routing cannot be changed directly.Therefore they can be predefined here by the technical expert. Generally it isstrongly recommended NOT to change the level settings of the Skin mixerprofiles. However, you may like to change the panorama settings e.g. for Line Inor Recording and Playback when using 1 Reporter with Recorder mode to makeit suite your typical application.

Note 2:Additionally Skin profiles are used when any of the Enhanced Application Modesis activated. The audio routing settings for them can be adjusted in the same wayas for Reporter Modes.

Note 3:Only one mixer profile can be associated with each Reporter Mode or EnhancedApplication mode.

3.1.2.3 Gain

Here the gain of the 4 audio inputs can be set. Depending on inputs configuration following Gain range can be used (see alsochapter Monitor/Setup/Audio In) Input 1 & 2 as line inputs: 0 dBu to 10.5 dBu Input 1 & 2 as mic inputs: -56.3 dBu to 35.3 dBu (without 20 dB attenuation) Input 1 & 2 as mic+ inputs: -10 dBu to 0 dBu Input 3 & 4 (only line in): 0 dBu to 18 dBu

3.1.3 Setup

Here the following can be set: Audio input mode (F1) Mixer Mode (F2)

3.1.3.1 Audio In

Audio InHere can be set how audio input 1 and 2 are used. It can be selected betweenthe inputs with the | and } cursor keys.

a) Line level

Mute ModeMute function can be set independently for audio inputs 1 and 2 to:- Hold (default): mute when corresponding button is hold- Toggle: mute can be switched 'on' and 'off' by pressing correspondingbutton

LimiterThe limiter guarantees that too high audio input levels are not just cut off(which caused big distortions) but softly clipped.




b) Mic level

Mute ModeMute function can be set independently for audio inputs 1 and 2 to:- Hold (default): mute when corresponding button is hold- Toggle: mute can be switched 'on' and 'off' by pressing correspondingbutton

LimiterThe limiter guarantees that too high audio input levels are not just cut off(which caused big distortions) but softly clipped.

HP filter Just available for microphone inputThis feature prevents that low frequencies at audio input damages audioequipment.

48 VJust available for microphone input48 V phantom power enables to use SPORTY with condenser microphones

c) mic+ (analog, mic+ level)Mic+ is made for higher microphone levels (e.g. loud neighbourhood in footballstadiums) or microphones with higher output voltages. Other settings are thesame as for mic

d) mic++ (analog, mic++ level) Mic++ is made for very high microphone levels (e.g. very loud neighbourhood infootball stadiums) or microphones with a very high output voltages. Other settingsare the same as for mic

Note: At line input the audio signal is attenuated before it's routed to an A/D

converter. Therefore Gain (see Monitor/Mixer) can be set between 18 dBu(left position) and 0 dBu (right position).

At microphone input level the audio signal is amplified by a pre-amp.Afterwards the signal is attenuated before it's routed to an A/D converter. Gain(see Monitor/Mixer) can be set approx. between -35.3 dBu (left position) and -56.3 dBu (right position).




At mic+ level the input signal is amplified by a pre-amp at lower grade than atthe mic level. Afterwards the signal is attenuated before it's routed to an A/Dconverter. Gain (see Monitor/Mixer) can be set approx. between -14.3 dBu(left position) and -35.3 dBu (right position).

Generally the mic++ input signal is treated similarly as line input signal (i.e. nopre-amp). In opposite to line input the audio signal is amplified before it'srouted to an A/D converter. Therefore Gain (see Monitor/Mixer) can be setbetween -10 dBu (left position) and 0 dBu (right position).

3.1.3.2 Mixer Mode

Mixer ModeSettings done here affect the menu item Monitor/Mixer.

The mixer mode can be set to: All:

Change of the level/pan status of one audio output affects all audio outputs. Compact:

The audio outputs for 'record' and 'send' have got the same level and panningsettings. The same is true for 'out 1' and 'out 2'.

Complete (default):All mixer levels and pannings can be set independently.

3.2.3.1.1 Ethernet

Here the IP settings can be done for internal electrical network card of SPORTY.

The following parameters can be set:

a) DHCPDHCP (= Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) enables to configure its IP




settings (except SIP) automatically with help of a DHCP server. To enable DHCPset this parameter to 'client'. Note:If the unit is unable to obtain settings via DHCP (e.g. Server not available) it willfall back to the settings provided in b) - e)

b) Address- sets the IP address (e.g. 192.168.10.50) if DHCP is deactivated.

c) Netmask- sets the subnet mask (e.g. 255.255.255.0) if DHCP is deactivated.

d) Gateway- sets the IP address of the default network Gateway if DHCP is deactivated.

e) DNS Server- sets the IP address of the DNS (= Domain Name System) server if DHCP isdeactivated.

f) Delay- sets the size of the receive buffer in ms.Max. possible value 5,000 ms.Note:RTP packets can be resorted if they are received in the wrong order. The higherthe value is, the more packets can be resorted. Generally receive buffer valueshould be bigger than average network jitter (see Codec/Status/Interface)Note 2:If AJC is activated then a bigger delay value covers a smaller one (see System/Misc/AJC)

3.2.3.1.1.1 SIP

SIP (Session Initiation Protocol)- configures all the parameters of SIP session.

GlobalproxyThis field allows a global SIP proxy to be set. This can be used to force all SIPmessages to pass through a certain server. In this field an IP-address or a URL can be entered.




This setting is optional and usually left blank.

StunserverA STUN server (= Simple Transversal of UDP Through NATs) is necessary that aclient behind a NAT or NATs can find its public IP address. NAT stands for Network Address Translation.The public IP address is necessary since the SIP device on the other end needsthis info to find the local client.In this field an IP-address or a URL can be entered.This setting is optional.

As soon as entered and saved the STUN server connections isalways active. This function will send outgoing packets on allapplicable IP ports to find out their external assignment for later use.

RedialsThe number of Redials which will be attempted.A Redial will occur if the other party cannot be reached either through being busy,if theres no response, or if the other party disconnects/drops the call.

Account IdHere the SIP registration profile can be selected. SPORTY allows to store 5independent SIP profiles of which only one can be active at a time. The AccountId is used to select the SIP-Account that can be edited or (de-)activated.

Account activeTo register with a SIP Server an account must be activated. Only one accountcan be active at a time. To register with a server supply the necessary credentials/ account data (see below) and set 'Active' to 'on'. Setting the account to 'off' willstart a de-registration and enable editing of the credentials

Account RegistrarThe Registrar is the SIP registration server which resolves the SIP address to areal IP address. The SIP client must register itself to a Registrar first before it canuse its service. In this field an IP address or a URL can be entered.The registration comprises the following access data:- Name- Password- Phone Number (not always necessary.)

Account PhonenrHere the phone number of the registration access data can be entered (max. 256chars). This parameter is not always necessary.

Account UsernameHere the name of the registration access data can be entered (max. 256 chars).

Account Password




Here the password of the registration access data can be entered (max. 256chars).

3.2.3.1.2 ISDN

Here the settings can be done for internal ISDN S0 interface of SPORTY.

a) ChannelThis item enables to set the MSN/ID and/or the SPID for every of the available 2B-channels .

MSN (= Multiple Subscriber Number)In this field the MSN (D-channel protocol DSS1 or VN4) or the ID (all other D-channel protocols) is entered.The most common reasons to use an MSN are: Multiple ISDN devices using the same ISDN service uses one ISDN bus (e.g.

SPORTY and telephone are connected to the same ISDN bus) SPORTY is connected to a PBX (=Private Branch Exchange)Note:If a SPORTY is connected directly to an ISDN DSS1 S0 bus and no other device

shares this ISDN bus then no MSN's must be entered. 'Directly' means that noPBX is used.Note 2:At D-channel protocols NI1 and 5ESS an ID must be assigned for every B-channel. Often the last 4 digits of the ISDN number must be entered as IDnumber.Note 3:MSN/ID cannot be longer than the local ISDN number (no country or area codes

should be used).

SPID (=Service Profile Identifier)SPID's are only in use with the D-channel protocol NI1 and 5ESS in NorthernAmerica. At these two protocols it is mandatory to assign every B-channel aseparate SPID. Please ask the local ISDN provider for further details.

b) Protocol




This item enables to set the D-channel protocol to: DSS1 (Europe) NI1 (North America) 5ESS (North America) Jate (Japan) VN (obsolete French national protocol; usually replaced by DSS1) AUSTEL (obsolete Australian national protocol; usually replaced by DSS1)

Furthermore this item enables to set:

Active layer 1 mode- determines whether ISDN Layer 1 stays active all the time, or not.When SPORTY is used in the Netherlands, this value should definitely be set toON.

Answer time- defines the telegram interval (used in ISDN connections) - in milliseconds. Thecalled MAYAH codec sends out its telegram 10 times till the ISDN answer delayexpires. The default value is 5,000 ms.

c) PBX (=Private Branch Exchange)

PBX and PBX digitsWhen SPORTY is connected to a PBX or ISDN switch, it is often necessary toadd a number for external access (e.g. 9). PBX digits determines the number ofdigits BEFORE the 'additional preceding PBX number' becomes valid.For example: PBX: 9 PBX digits: 5Entered number: 1234 Dialed number: 1234Entered number: 01234 Dialed number: 901234

PredialSometimes it is necessary to use a special provider to guarantee the quality ofthe ISDN service or the carriage of ISDN calls through a Gateway. Usually aspecial provider can be selected by dialing a special call-by-call number beforethe normal number.This Predial Number precedes EVERY dialled number (Direct dial or Phonebook).

National- determines how a national call is shown.For example: National: 0 identification of national call: 811551762 number displayed: 0811551762

International- determines how an international call is shown.For example: international: 00




identification of international call: 49811551762 number displayed: 0049811551762

d) G.711 optionsThis dialog enables to set miscellaneous parameters for G.711 use (ISDNtelephony):The following parameters can be set:

G.711North America/Japan and Europe use a different coding method for ISDNtelephony.Thus, the following alternatives are available: A-law (as used in Europe uses non linear PCM, with 13 segments) -law (as used in USA and Japan also non-linear PCM; but 15 segments) Note:If G.711 law is not set properly then strong disturbances occurs at G.711transmissions.

G.711 levelSometimes G.711 signals (i.e. normal telephone signals) are over modulated andtherefore their too high audio levels can cause distortions. Therefore G.711attenuation can be set to: 0 dB (no attenuation) 6 dB 12 dB

G.711 ISDN serviceHere the service used for G.711 calls are set. It can be selected between Speech (default and standard) and Telephony

e) Redials

Redials- defines the number of Redials which will be attempted.A Redial will occur if the other party cannot be reached either through being busy,if theres no response, or if the other party disconnects/drops the call.

Redial wait- sets the interval time between the redial attempts (in seconds).

3.2.3.1.3 POTS/PSTN

Here the settings can be done for MAYAH POTS card.

a) PBX (=Private Branch Exchange) and PBX digitsWhen SPORTY is connected to a PBX switch, it is often necessary to add anumber for external access (e.g. 9). PBX digits determines the number of digitsBEFORE the 'additional preceding PBX number' is preceded.For example:




- PBX: 9- PBX digits : 5Entered number: 1234 Dialed number: 1234Entered number: 01234 Dialed number: 901234

b) PredialSometimes it is necessary to use a special provider to guarantee the quality ofthe service or the carriage of telephone calls through a Gateway. Usually aspecial provider can be selected by dialing a special call-by-call number beforethe normal number.This Predial Number precedes EVERY dialled number (Direct dial or Phonebook).

c) Answer timeTime (in ms) between connection is established and start of encoding (i.e.sending of audio data). By default this value is set to 1,000 ms (Range is 100 to5,000 ms).

d) DelaySets the size of the receive buffer in ms.Max. possible value 5,000 ms.

Note:Internally the POTS transmission is an IP/RTP transmission. RTP packets can beresorted if they are received not in the right order. The higher the value is, themore packets can be resorted. Generally receive buffer value should be biggerthan average network jitter (see Codec/Status/Interface)

Due to the usually very limited bandwidth at POTS connections themost efficient MPEG-4 HE-AACv2 (AAC HE) stereo is used bySPORTY, no matter which Codec Quality has been chosenpreviously. SPORTY evaluates the quality of current connection andadjusts the bit rate automatically.

3.2.3.1.4 3G/UMTS

Here the settings can be done for MAYAH 3G/UMTS card.

a) PIN




PIN number of your SIM card must be entered

Check if the PIN is entered correctly before insert the 3G/UMTS card.SPORTY provides the PIN to the SIM card automatically. Three falseattempts will block the SIM card.

Note:In case that the PIN is deactivated on your SIM card, this field will be ignored by SPORTY.

b) APN (Access Point Name)APN credentials are provided by your mobile service provider; e.g. web.vodafone.de for Vodafone GermanyNote:APN values are case-sensitive.

c) TechnologyHere can be determined which connection type is prioritized by 3G/UMTS card.Following selection is possible: GSM only: connect to GPRS/EDGE networks only 3G only: connect to UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA networks only GSM first: prefer GPRS/EDGE networks 3G first (default): prefer UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA networks No change: keep network, once connected Auto: card decides

d) DomainHere behaviour for the preferred domain inside the mobile cell can be set. Circuit switched only Packet switched only Any: Circuit and/or packet switched (default) No preference No change Packet switched attach on demand Packet switched detach on demand

e) FrequencyIn different parts of the world different frequencies for 3G communication areused. Here the appropriate frequency range can be set. Europe (default) U.S.

f) User3G user identification

g) PasswordUser confirmation by password

h) Delay- sets the size of the receive buffer in ms.




Max. possible value 5,000 ms.Note:RTP packets can be resorted if they are received not in the right order. Thehigher the value is, the more packets can be resorted. Generally receive buffervalue should be bigger than average network jitter (see Codec/Status/Interface)Note 2:If AJC is activated then a bigger delay value covers a smaller one (see System/Misc/AJC)

General note:Usually just PIN and APN must be entered. If you are unsure about PIN, APN,

Username and Password, please contact your mobile service provider.

3.2.3.2 Quality

Quality comprises the configuration of the following coding parameters: algorithm sample rate bit rate operational mode

The selected quality profile determines which coding settings are used for thenext connection if it's not established with the phone book entry. See also 'Applycodec profile'

Display order (sorting) of the profiles list:By default the profile list is ordered according to internal indexnumbers. Pressing F2 button ('Quality') in this menu togglesbetween the default order and alphabetic order.The chosen display order cannot be saved and is only active untilnext reboot of the SPORTY.

By default the following quality profiles are available and can be loaded:

A selected quality profile can be activated by stepping to the 'save' icon andpressing the OK button.

Using optional Old Apt-X or Apt Clear Mode profiles as well as4SB Mono profile disables MAYAH automatic codec recognitionsystem FlashCast. No connection to devices with differentsettings is possible while these profiles are active! To re-enableautomatic codec recognition after using these profiles just chooseany other quality profile and activate it.

3.2.3.2.1 Apply codec profile

Simply select the desired profile and press the OK button or cursor button } tostep to the 'save' icon which will be displayed inverted.

Press OK button to apply the profile to the current codec configuration.

Current codec settings for both Encoder and Decoder will be changed accordingto the quality settings in the profile.

In some rare cases there's an asymmetrical configuration of theEncoder and Decoder required (e.g. L3 for Encoder and G.722 forDecoder). For this a workaround can be used with a phone bookentry based on two different profiles and without destination. Suchphone book entry must be "dialed" to apply an asymmetrical qualitysettings to Encoder and Decoder.




3.2.3.2.2 New codec profile

New quality profiles with the desired coding settings can be created any time infollowing ways: by using the integrated Web Remote of the SPORTY (Menu SETUP / Profiles

/ New) directly on the device by selecting the 'save' icon, pressing the cursor button and choosing the otherwise hidden option 'new'.

Following parameters are used in a codec profile:

a) Profile index:The SPORTY assigns a Profile index automatically, which cannot be changed bythe user.

b) Profile name:The maximum length of a Profile name is 20 characters. 8 characters arerecommended.

c) Algorithm:set Profile algorithm to:

G.711 (i.e. digital telephone) G.722 MPEG1/2 L2 MPEG1/2 L3 MPEG 2 AAC MPEG 4 AAC AAC (HE); i.e. MPEG-4 HE-AACv2 Linear 4SB ADPCM (optional) Std. APT-X sync (optional) Std. APT-X nosync (optional) Enh. APT-X 16; i.e. enhanced APT-X 16 bit (optional) Enh. APT-X 20; i.e. enhanced APT-X 20 bit (optional) Enh. APT-X 24; i.e. enhanced APT-X 24 bit (optional)

d) Stream (Linear only)sets the linear stream-type to auto (default) high-byte first low-byte first

e) Sample rate:sets the Profile sample rate. f) Bit rate:sets the Profile bit rate.




g) Bit resolutionAt Linear also the bit resolution between 8 and 24 bit can be specified.

h) Mode:sets the Profile mode to 'mono', 'dual mono', 'stereo' or 'joint stereo'

i) Dependency:sets the Coder Dependency to either 'Remote', or 'Local'

In Remote mode, SPORTY uses FlashCast technology, which means:SPORTY to SPORTY transmission:the dialling SPORTY passes over its parameters to the receiver.SPORTY / non Mayah Codecs transmission:SPORTY evaluates the settings of the other side and configures itselfautomatically.

In most cases 'Remote' is the best setting. Don't change it unless youknow what you do!

j) Format /IMUX (applicable only for ISDN):sets the Profile IMUX (Inverse Multiplexer) format at ISDN transmissions to oneof the following: Auto (default, recommended) CDQ/H.221 Musictaxi J.52 Micda APTX

Inverse Multiplexing is necessary for the correct synchronisation of multiple B-channels in an ISDN transmission. If the IMUX format is set to Auto, the SPORTYwill automatically recognise the correct format in most cases.

The most often required exception are the connections to the olderAPT-X codecs over ISDN. Here the IMUX format must be set toAPTX.

k) Ancillary mode:determines how to Encode/Decode the Ancillary (auxiliary) data carried in theaudio data stream. SPORTY uses ancillary data transport for both GPIO signalstransport and

Auto (default, except of APT-X algorithms) CCS J.52 Musictaxi




Barco None (only with APT-X algorithms, default) Left (only with APT-X algorithms) Right (only with APT-X algorithms)

l) Protection (applicable only for MPEG algorithms)at some algorithms such as MPEG-1 Layer 2 it is possible to enter CRCProtection Bit value here. It works with different parameters for MPEGalgorithms. (CRC= Cycle Redundancy Check)

Three parameter can be set:0: default1: off2: on

3.2.3.2.3 Edit codec profile

Changes to an existing profile can be done in following ways: by using the integrated Web Remote of the SPORTY (Menu SETUP / Profiles

/ Edit) directly on the device by selecting the 'save' icon, pressing the cursor button twice or more times and choosing the otherwise hidden option 'edit'.

You can adjust parameters in the same way as described in the chapter 'Newcodec profile'.

3.2.3.2.4 Delete codec profile

Quality profiles can be deleted any time in following ways: by using the integrated Web Remote of the SPORTY (Menu SETUP / Profiles

/ Delete) directly on the device by selecting the 'save' icon, pressing the cursor button and choosing the otherwise hidden option 'del'.

3.2.3.3 Enhanced applications (apps)

The SPORTY supports two powerful enhanced applications: Intercom:

- enables to establish an additional IP connection besides the mainconnection

Dual mode:- enables to establish two ISDN connections

a) Activation of any Enhanced Application disables Recorderfunctionality, and vice versa, if Recorder is currently active it isimpossible to activate an Enhanced Application.

b) Upon activation of certain Enhanced Applications the audiochannels of the mixer matrix usually assigned to Recorder are usedfor audio routing of the enhanced application. If any changes




required in the audio routing / panning they can be stored for futureuse in the menu MONITOR/MIXER/MEM/SKINS

3.2.3.3.1 Intercom

In Intercom Mode besides the main connection a 'command connection', e.g. tocall for technician can be established additionally.

This 'command connection' has following limitations: it is an IP-based connection just G.711, G.722 or Linear coding algorithms are supported

The destination of an intercom connection can be defined in this menu.

When Intercom Mode is selected, the intercom connection can be establishedand hung up by pressing '0' button for approx. 3 seconds.

Note:Intercom mode is optional and can be activated by submitting a key code to thedevice. Contact MAYAH if you need this option.

3.2.3.3.2 Dual mode

Dual Mode enables establishing of two independent ISDN connections.

Both connections have following limitations: only ISDN connections are supported only mono modes are supported only 64 kbps per connection supported

Dual Mode is indicated as a following symbol in the status bar or (with an additional framing indicator) during connection.

When Dual Mode is activated two codec menus can be selected by pressing F1or F2 button:

Under Setup/Quality the identical quality for both Codecs can be selected (e.g.G.722, L2 mono etc.).




At both codec menus independently connection can be established/hung up status of connection can be requested

Inputs 1 and 3 and left channels of both outputs are used by the first connection,inputs 2 and 4 and right ch
