Spectrum Input Processor

Spectrum Input Processor creates a dynamic bar graph of the inputted audio source to be used as a media source inside of Dylos. Spectrum Input Processors can use audio from an NDI audio stream, Audio Input, or another Input Slot.

Spectrum Creates a visual spectrum from selected audio input source   Allowed Source Types NDI Audio Audio Input Input Slot

 

 

 

Creating a Spectrum Input Processor

If using a Spectrum Input Processor with an NDI Source, you must first set up NDI.

If using a Spectrum Input Processor with an Audio Source, you must first set up an Audio Interface.

 

1. Navigate to the Library view, button 5, on the default sidebar of the "Compose" workspace.


2. Select the Input Source Tab at the bottom of the window:
   


3. All slots will be blank if you're starting from scratch. To create one, Right-click or hold EDIT and press an empty slot.
   


4. Select Create Input Source...
   


5.  Select Spectrum under Processor.
   


6. Select the desired Source Type
   


7. Select the Source
   


8. Press OK

 

Editing a Spectrum Input Processor

1. To edit a Spectrum Input Processor, right-click on or hold Edit and select an existing Spectrum Input Processor.
   



2. Select Show Details

   



3. From the menu below, you can change the properties of the Spectrum Input Processor.
   

 

Table of Controls

Control	Description
	Preview Visualizer: Shows a visual representation of the input processor. -  Red areas are filtered out -  Blue areas are not filtered   Audio Input Meter: Shows a meter of the incoming audio signal or the embedded NDI audio stream. Pallet Mapping: Shows the generated pallet for use with a dynamic pallet. Overlay: Shows the pallet mapping sample point
	Properties Active/Inactive State: Toggles the state of the Spectrum Input Processor between Active and Inactive. * The “Inactive” state helps preserve resources on an overloaded system.*   Change Input: Used to select a different source input for this Spectrum Input Processor. Fixture Selection State: Select the Spectrum Input Processor as a fixture for making changes using the Channel visualizer (CV)
	This Selects if the changes should be made to the default properties of the Spectrum Input Processor or put into the programmer like if editing a fixture. Defaults: Used for changing the default state of this Spectrum Input Processor Programmer: Used for temporary changes recorded into a cue.
	Intensity Output: Sets the Output level of the Spectrum Input Processor *A value of zero translates to an output of transparent black.   Input Gate: Sets an Audio Input Gate on the incoming audio level of Spectrum Input Processor Input Gain: Sets the Gain level of Audio input of the Spectrum Input Processor   Opacity Level: Sets the Opacity level of the Spectrum Input Processor when used as Media Content. Full: All transparent areas of the input content are shown in opaque black (e.g. useful if you want to map a color palette on it)  Zero: Transparent areas stay transparent
	Beam Effects Gradient Orientation: Changes the Gradient over the spectrum from Vertical to Horizontal Bin Count: Changes the number of vertical zones to be shown Palette Frequency: Sets the frequency to sample and display when used with Dynamic Pallet.
