This article will explain the principle on how to setup and configure Automatic Gain Control (AGC) in Exigo.


Step 1: Add AVC Device To The System

To add an AVC device to the system:

  1. In Components view, open Devices.
  2. In Kits and Accessories locate AVC Device.
  3. Drag and drop AVC Device to System in the device tree.
Add AVC device to the system


Step 2: Add the AVC Device To The Zone

To add the AVC device to the zone:

  1. Locate the desired AVC Device in the device tree.
  2. Drag and drop the AVC Device to the Zone.
Add AVC device to the zone


Step 3: Adjust the settings for the AVC Device(s)

To adjust the settings for the AVC device(s) in a zone:

  1. Go to the designated Zone (top level).
  2. Do the necessary settings.
AVC settings


Parameter Details

AVC Enabled: Enable/Disable the AVC Control.

Adjust Mode: Positive or Negative mode.

Positive: Gain adjustment is from zero at AVC threshold and adjusted positive. Audio Player should have a low base gain.
Negative: Gain adjustment is from zero at AVC max level and adjusted with negative gain downwards. Audio Player should have a low base gain.

Treshold: Noise level for when AVC should start adjusting gain on players.

Example: Threshold = -40 dB
When AVC Device measurement < -40 dB: No AVC adjustment
When AVC Device measurement > -40 dB: AVB adjust gain on Players 1 dB per dB above threshold

Advanced Settings

Attack Rate (dB/sec): This determines how quickly the AVC adjusts gain on raising ambient audio level.

Decay Rate (dB/sec): This determines how quickly the AVC adjusts gain on falling ambient audio level.

Hysteresis (dB): Hysteresis around previous set ambient audio level before doing adjustments.

Far-End Lockout Time (sec): When playing audio in AVC Zone (far-end-signal) all AVC adjustments is locked. When far-end-signal ends, adjustments commences after this lockout-time. Lower values allows more adjustments in pauses of signal played.


Availability

This function is available from Exigo 1.3.3.1 and newer.
