1Introduction

The enclosed disc contains the Tannoy iDPTM PC-iP installers software package; a comprehensive

editor & interface tool for the Ellipse iDPTM Monitor System.

The Ellipse PC-iP package allows parametric EQ facilities for specific room optimisation,

secure lockout of vital preset parameters and subwoofer delay adjustments.

All of these control functions are integral to the Ellipse iDPTM system; no external equalisers or

delay units are required. This makes the Ellipse PC-iP package an essential tool for the

Professional Studio sound system designer.

Once established using this comprehensive installation software, all system parameters are

controllable via the LCD display on the Master Ellipse monitors, Tannoy iDP SOFTTM or the

Ellipse iDPTM PC-iP package itself.

This manual acts as an operation guide for the Ellipse iDP PC-iPTM installer’s software package

only. A comprehensive system set-up guide, containing detailed parameter descriptions

and background information, can be found in the Ellipse iDPTM users manual packaged with

the monitors.

Connecting the Ellipse iDPTM monitor system correctly is essential; therefore please refer to the

Ellipse iDPTM users manual before going any further.

system functions will not work as intended.

Connection

The CAT-5 cable, supplied with the installation software package, has a CAT-5 plug at one end and

a serial plug at the other and must be connected as follows:

To any Ellipse iDPTM monitor in the network

Connect the Cat-5 plug to the TC LINK socket to be found on the rear panel of the

Ellipse iDPTM monitor.

To computer Serial port

Connect the Serial plug to a free Serial port on your PC.

To computer USB port

Alternatively you can connect via a USB port by using an optional

"USB to Serial Port" converter.

INSTALLATION

Registration key

The registration key is supplied along with the Ellipse PC-iP software package. Later updates to the

software will not require the registration key as long as these updates are installed on the same PC.

Start

Launch the program. The program will try to detect any Ellipse iDPTM system connected to the computer

COM ports.

If no monitors are connected, or the system is wired incorrectly, an error message will appear – see

Fig. 1.

Fig.1. Network error - system not found message

To rectify the problem please refer to the user manual for the correct connection details.

3 Initial system set-up

The first screen to appear once program has fully launched, with all the networked monitors and

subwoofers recognised, is shown in Fig. 2. The network is displayed in the set-up section on the left

side of the screen.

Fig.2. Initial system set-up screen change to blank layout sketch

Monitor task assignment

Each Ellipse IDPTM monitor must be assigned a given task so that the network recognises where each

monitor is placed in the system. From the horizontal row of buttons in the <Functions> menus select

<Setup>. On the window that appears open the drop down menu <Ellipse setup> and select the type

of system configuration you are installing.

The choices from this menu are:

- Empty

- Stereo

- Surround

*Optional 192kHz, Dual Wire, Digital Input Card required.

If required check the <BNC Sync> box for locking on the BNC input.

Monitor task assignment /cont.

Fig.3. Monitor setup window.

Then proceed to set the monitor tasks by selecting one of the Ellipse models in the serial numbers list

(see Fig 3) where you will see that each monitor & subwoofer has its own unique serial number.

Check the <Pink Noise> box to activate the pink noise generator in the selected monitor. Select the

monitor task matching the position of the monitor reproducing the pink noise before un-checking the

<Pink Noise> box. Repeat this process for all of the other connected monitors and subwoofers. There

is no need to press the <Exit> button until all of the monitors have been assigned their respective tasks.

Having assigned the tasks the main display window will show all the connected monitors and subwoofers

with their serial numbers showing in their correct location in the system layout graphic.

4. Main display screen features

Fig.4. Main display screen

With the tasks now assigned to the monitors and subwoofers the individual speaker serial number and

its location is displayed within the setup section of the main screen.

The layout and description of all of the functions displayed on this main screen can be split up into

the following subsections:

Setup section

<M> Mute function for each monitor

<S> Solo function for each monitor

<Edit> This drop down menu holds all of the detected monitors on the network, all with

their own unique serial numbers. Select each monitor individually and press edit

to set the parameters for each Ellipse IDPTM monitor or Subwoofer (see the ‘EQ

facilities’ section of this manual)

Software license info

<Ref. Levels>

Mouse click on the Ellipse <icon> on the blue header bar at the top left of the

main display screen to view the software license information and version.

Levels & Gain section

<Ref. Levels>

There are three reference levels that can be preset by the user. Select one of the

three ‘Ref. Levels’ and set the master volume fader to suit. The setting is then

stored instantly. Repeat the process for the other two ‘Ref. Levels’. When ‘use fader’

is selected the master volume fader is used for adjusting the overall level.

<A-Sensitivity>

This is the Analogue Input sensitivity.

Select the analogue sensitivity (+9, +15, +21 or +27dBu) to match the gain

range of the mixing console or source equipment, which is feeding the

Ellipse IDPTM monitors.

This button mutes all or the monitors on the network.

This button releases the monitors from solo mode.

This is the master gain control for the connected system relative to the set

reference level. The reference level for each monitor is set by using the <Edit>

button or by double clicking on each respective monitor in the setup section of

the screen.

Preset section

This drop down menu displays the full list of user and factory presets for

direct access

When pressed this button recalls a preset from the drop down menu.

Simply highlight the preset you wish to recall and hit the ‘recall’ button.

<Store>

Press ‘store’ to save a preset. User presets can be stored in locations 1 –15.

Presets 16 – 32 are factory set presets cannot be edited.

<Note>When pressed, this button allows you to change the preset name and edit any

previous personal notes. The <Note> function can only be used on the user

presets (1 –15)

Bass Management section

This part of the Ellipse PC-iP software allows the user to set the desired

Bass Management crossover frequency. There are seven factory set management

options that can be selected by checking the box beside the desired frequency.

For further adjustment flexibility you may choose to activate the advanced bass

management function by checking the <on> box. The seven preset Bass Management

settings shown can now no longer be selected.

The <Advanced> button can then be activated to take you into the

Advanced Bass Management section.

Advanced Bass Management

To activate the advanced bass management and access the set-up window

(see fig.5) check the <On> box in the Bass Management section of the main screen,

then press the <Advanced> button.

Fig.5. Advanced bass management window

This is an independent Hi pass filter for the Ellipse monitors.

This can be combined with both 4th order and/or 2nd order Low Pass

subwoofer filters.

One or both of the Subwoofer low pass filters can be activated. If both are activated

then you are effectively cascading both filters (6th order)

<LFE=Sub>

By checking this box the LFE filter is set equal to the Subwoofer filter thus avoiding

phase cancellation. When activated, the coefficients from the two sub filters will be

copied to the LFE filter.

The sub filter in the EQ section can still be activated on top of the <LFE=Sub>

filter setting.

5. Function menu tasks

The horizontal row of six buttons in the Function section of the main screen perform the following tasks:

<Setup>

This operation of the setup function is to open the <Ellipse setup> window to allow

selection of the monitor configuration being installed and to assign tasks to each

component in that system.

The actions involved are fully described in section 3 of this manual – Initial

System Setup.

<Reset>

Press this button to access the <Reset> menu shown in Fig. 6 in which three main

functions can be accessed.

Fig.6. Reset function menu

This reset procedure clears all of the network settings (both the monitor tasks

and setup)

All stored global and local parameters in the connected monitors are reset.

Presets and network settings will not be affected.

This reset procedure will delete all global and local parameter settings as well

as preset and network settings.
