Note that iQ has three different classes of audio
sources. Most originate with the rear panel input connectors and are used locally in the iQ; some audio sources
may be obtained from other devices in your Livewire
network, and some audio sources (PGM1, PGM2, etc)
are generated internally.
With that in mind, let’s discuss configuring your local
sources and making them available for fader assignment.
Creating a New Source
Your first choice defines what type of source you’re
setting up, which is important since GPIO, mix-minus
and other console behaviors are decided based on your
choice. Your choices:
• Operator is the board operator’s mic. It is the source
mic for iQ TALK TO functions. Its logic mutes the
CR monitors and Preview when ON.
• Producer is used for in-studio Producer’s mic positions. It has associated GPIO logic which can operate
TALK TO functions from a remote producer’s panel.
It also mutes CR monitors and Preview when ON.
• CR Guest is used for any other guest mic in the control room. Its associated logic automatically mutes

Once you have selected the source type, click the
Create button to proceed to the Source Profile options.
Figure 2-3 shows the setup options screen for a
typical Microphone source. Figure 2-4 shows a Codec
source which has a few different settings, and Figure 2-5
shows a Line source. The following sections describe
these Source configurations in detail.

source type you selected in the previous step.
About Mics and Headphone Feeds: iQ provides you with several headphone options, all
selectable from iQ monitor control section. The
headphone output provides a feed intended
for the Host (board-op’s) mic position and includes the ability to monitor the Preview bus
in headphones. There are two headphone feeds from the studio
monitor section, one for talent, one for guests.
The Studio headphone output sends audio to all
studio talent positions. Talent positions include

already been configured.
the CR monitors and Preview when ON.
Studio Guest is used for any mic located in a separate studio. Its logic mutes the Studio monitors when
ON.
External Mic is used for any mic ­located outside of
a CR or studio. It functions like a Guest microphone
but does not include any muting logic.
Line is used for any line input audio source, analog
or digital. A GPIO logic port can be used to provide
machine start/stop pulses if desired.
Phone defines this source as a hybrid or broadcast
phone system input. A summed mono mix-minus is
automatically provided.
Codec marks this source as a codec. A dual mono
mix-minus is provided; one PA feed (right) + one talent feed with talkback (left).
Computer Player defines this source as originating
from a PC. Associated GPIO logic can be used to
send start/stop signals to a playout system.
Studio Feed defines a source that receives a backfeed, and generates an IFB backfeed in return. This
is intended for an external studio source which you
wish to generate a talkback channel for.
