  • Mixer carriage for a control console and control console
    Patent number: 10851975
    Abstract: A mixer carriage for an audio, video and/or lighting control console contains a tray body with a tray surface and a coupler for movable coupling to the audio and/or video and/or lighting control console, so that the mixer carriage is moveable relative to a user interface of the audio, video and/or lighting control console. The tray body has at least one lighting device on it for illuminating the tray surface.

  • Process and system for the analog-to-digital conversion of signals
    Patent number: 5714956
    Abstract: System for analog-digital conversion of signal using at least two less highly resolving AD converters, each having a different preamplification, wherein the AD converter having the most favorable resolution of the momentary signal is utilized to compute therefrom the digital output signal of the system. The preamplifications do not have to be precisely known, but are determined by means of the digital signals formed by the conversion. Preamplification errors, such as offset errors or transmit time errors, are eliminated by choosing the appropriate computation algorithm.

  • Apparatus for the conversion of analog audio signals to a digital data stream
    Patent number: 5600317
    Abstract: This invention relates to a circuit for converting an analog audio signal to a highly resolving bit stream. An audio signal (U.sub.In) is converted on several parallel paths (1, 2) having different amplitude sensitivities into a data stream, where the offset of the individual paths (1, 2) is compensated for individually. Subsequently the amplification difference produced by the different amplitude sensitivities is determined and compensated for, so that one of the two data streams is made available as a bit stream for further processing. The selection of the data stream which is made available as a bit stream for further processing, is determined based on the amplitude of the audio signal (U.sub.In).
