Frequently Asked Questions - GENESYS G3D AMS Neve

How do I connect the GENESYS G3D to a Dolby Atmos Renderer?
Ensure the console and the renderer are on the same LAN. Open the Genesys 3D application and click Scan to search for active renderers. Select the renderer from the dropdown menu. A green checkmark indicates successful two-way communication.
Can multiple remote clients control the same object?
No. Multiple clients can connect to the same renderer, but only one client can control metadata for a given object. Available objects are shown as ☐; if an object is already controlled, it appears as .
How do I acquire a stereo object pair?
Right-click (or slow touch) on an object to define the primary object, then right-click on another available object to complete the pair. The pair can be non-adjacent. Both objects will appear as a solid icon.
What are the mirroring options for stereo objects?
The available options are Mirror X, Mirror Y, Mirror X/Y, and None. Mirror X mirrors the LCR panning while linking the Y axis; Mirror Y does the opposite; Mirror X/Y mirrors both; None copies actions identically to both objects.
How can I pan an object using the console encoders?
The four encoders control LCR, FB, Height, and Size parameters. Turn the encoders clockwise or anticlockwise to adjust the corresponding coordinate. The encoder LEDs indicate the current value, and touch-sensitive LEDs register touch.
What are the elevation shapes (Auto-Z)?
The AutoMan shape allows manual height settings. AutoWedge links elevation to Y coordinate for a peaked ceiling. AutoSphere links elevation to X & Y for a hemispheric shape. AutoCeiling creates a flat ceiling that curves from 20% of the room.
How do I set the IP address on the StarNet ADA16?
Power on the ADA16 and connect it to the same LAN. Use the front panel controls: go to Net [Set], enter the static IP 10.10.251.001 (or an appropriate address), and confirm. Press ← to confirm and exit.
How does the loudspeaker Cut function work?
With Cut engaged, touch or click a loudspeaker to cut its output. You can also draw a custom group box to cut multiple speakers at once, or use fixed groups like LCR, Surrounds, and Heights.
What is momentary solo?
Momentary Solo (Solo Mom.) functions like latching solo, but only while the touch/click is held. When released, all solo states are cancelled. It is useful for quick A/B listening.
How can I automate object parameters in a DAW?
Use the Genesys Control Plugin (version 2.1+). Open the 3D tab, select an object from the dropdown, and choose the parameter (LCR, FB, Height, Size) to automate. Movements are mirrored between the plugin and the console application.

The Genesys 3D application is an integrated app included in Genesys Version 3.5, Build 54 and above. The app's primary function is to establish communication with the Dolby® Atmos Renderer application and to enable remote control of Dolby Atmos® object metadata from the console surface.

IP Address Setup – Genesys G3D Console

The Dolby Atmos Renderer application must be active and running on a computer that is connected to the same LAN as the Genesys console. The communications protocol and setup are identical to HUI/DAW control. If the Genesys console is not already set up for DAW control, please reference the Genesys user manual for IP address setup information.

Connecting to the Renderer

When first opening the Genesys Atmos application, a manual scan of the LAN must be activated to establish two-way communication.

After first initialisation, the renderer dropdown menu will display as - None

▶ Click Scan to search the LAN for an active Dolby Atmos Renderer
▶ Select the active renderer from the dropdown menu

Once selected, the red ✗ will change to a green √, indicating successful two-way communication.

Auto Connect to Previous Renderer

After initial setup, the Atmos application can automatically scan and connect to the renderer via a Settings option, accessed via the button.

If Auto Connect To Previous Renderer is ticked, each time the Atmos app is initialised, communication is established without user interaction.

AMS Neve GENESYS G3D - Dolby Atmos Renderer Remote Clients - 2

AMS Neve GENESYS G3D - Dolby Atmos Renderer Remote Clients - 3

AMS Neve GENESYS G3D - Dolby Atmos Renderer Remote Clients - 4

The Genesys Atmos application functions as a remote client for the Dolby Atmos Renderer and will appear as - Neve Dolby Atmos Client in the remote clients window.

There can be multiple remote clients connected to the same renderer. For example, Genesys Atmos Client, Dolby Music Panner, Pro Tools etc. However, multiple clients cannot control metadata for the same object.

Object Selection

The left-hand side of the Atmos application displays all 118 objects on the network. Once communication is established, objects can be selected for metadata control.

Available objects are shown as ☐. Objects are available to control if no other remote metadata client are defined to control this object's metadata.

If an object is unavailable to control it will display as 📄. This usually means that another remote client on the network is already defined to control this object's metadata.

Mono Object Selection

Left-clicking an object via the mouse/trackpad or a fast-touch on the Genesys touchscreen will acquire a mono object.

Mono acquired objects appear as

Once a mono object is acquired, it can be selected from the object dropdown menu and controlled via the Genesys encoders or touchscreen.

Stereo Object Selection

Right-clicking an object via the mouse/trackpad or a slow touch on the Genesys touchscreen will begin the process to acquire a stereo object.

When acquiring a stereo object, the first object clicked becomes the primary object within the object pair and will flash until another object is acquired as the secondary object within the object pair.

A second click on another available object will define both objects as a stereo object pair.

Stereo acquired objects will appear as a solid

AMS Neve GENESYS G3D - Stereo Object Selection - 1

Once defined, stereo objects can be selected from the object dropdown menu and can be controlled via the Genesys encoders or touchscreen.

Stereo object pairs can be non-adjacent and formed of any two available objects.

Acquire/Release All Objects

The settings screen includes Acquire All and Release All Objects options.

These options are accessed via the button.

Acquire All – Selects all available objects as mono objects.

Release All – Releases all acquired objects.

Selecting Acquired Objects for Metadata Control

Once objects are acquired, they can be selected for metadata control via the Genesys 3D application object dropdown menu.

Once the dropdown menu is opened, a mouse click can select the object for metadata control.

Alternatively, objects can be selected for metadata control via the Genesys </> arrow keys in the Encoder Control section of the console.

The > key will cycle through the acquired objects sequentially.

The < key will cycle through the acquired objects sequentially, in reverse order.

3D Object Pan Control

Once an acquired object is selected for metadata control, the panning window at the right-hand-side of the Genesys 3D application will become active and panning metadata can be sent to the Dolby Renderer for the acquired object.

Upon first acquisition, objects pan to a central position on the X/Y axis, with a minimum height on the Z axis and minimum size applied.

From this default position, objects can be panned in three dimensions via multiple methods, detailed below.

Touchscreen Control

The green object icon can be positioned anywhere in the X/Y axis by using the Genesys touchscreen.

By touching the screen, you can place the selected object from any location in the panning window, to any other location instantly. Touching and dragging will move the object as your finger moves across the screen.

To adjust the height parameter from the touchscreen, touch the height bar positioned to the left of the 3D panning window.

By touching the height bar at any position, you can place the selected object from any height in the panning window, to any other height instantly.

Touching and dragging the height bar will adjust the object height as your finger moves up and down on the screen.

Note: height can only be manually adjusted if AutoMan is selected.

AMS Neve GENESYS G3D - Touchscreen Control - 1

Encoder Control

The four available panning parameters – LCR, FB, Height, & Size are displayed at the bottom of the Genesys Atmos application panning window. When the Atmos application is open, these controls are automatically mapped across the four Genesys digital encoders.

Each encoder is set to follow the currently displayed coordinates within the Genesys 3D panning window.

AMS Neve GENESYS G3D - Encoder Control - 1

AMS Neve GENESYS G3D - Encoder Control - 2

The LCR parameter is mapped to encoder 1 on the console surface. Rotating the encoder clockwise or anticlockwise will adjust the LCR coordinates, panning the selected object to the left or right of the listening position on the X axis.

AMS Neve GENESYS G3D - Encoder Control - 3

AMS Neve GENESYS G3D - Encoder Control - 4

The FB parameter is mapped to encoder 2 on the console surface. Rotating the encoder clockwise or anticlockwise will adjust the LCR coordinates, panning the selected object in front or behind the listening position on the Y axis.

AMS Neve GENESYS G3D - Encoder Control - 5

AMS Neve GENESYS G3D - Encoder Control - 6

The Height parameter is mapped to encoder 3 on the console surface. Rotating the encoder clockwise or anticlockwise will adjust the height coordinates upwards, or downwards, across the Z axis.

Height is represented by both the blue square shape surrounding the 3D panning window, and by the height bar to the left of the 3D panning window.

AMS Neve GENESYS G3D - Encoder Control - 7

Encoder LED's

Genesys G3D Encoders feature a halo of 28 green LEDs, used to indicate the current coordinate value of the selected object. The LEDs will update if the encoder is manually turned, if adjusted from software or via automation.

Each encoder is touch-sensitive, two red LEDs will illuminate to register touch for each encoder.

Combination Control

By using two-handed operation, users can pan in the X/Y and Z axis simultaneously. The right hand (RH) can adjust X/Y (LCR/FB) positions on the touchscreen, and the left hand (LH) can adjust the Z (Height) axis. Alternatively, the left hand can adjust the Size amount of the selected object

Manual Coordinate Entry

Coordinates and amounts can be manually entered into the LCR, FB, Height, & Size parameters. Coordinates/amounts use values ranging from 0.000 to 1.000. Values beyond this range are invalid and can not be entered.

LCR – A value of 0.000 represents the maximum pan to the left of the 3D panning window, 0.500 represents a centre position, and a value of 1.000 represents maximum pan to the right of the panning window.

FB – A value of 0.000 represents the maximum pan to the front of the 3D panning window, 0.500 represents a centre position, and a value of 1.000 represents maximum pan to the rear of the 3D panning window.

Height - A value of 0.000 represents the minimum height level (head height) to the front of the 3D panning window, and a value of 1.000 represents maximum pan to the rear of the 3D panning window.

Size - A value of 0.000 represents the minimum size amount applied to an object, and a value of 1.000 represents the maximum size amount applied to an object.

AMS Neve GENESYS G3D - Manual Coordinate Entry - 1

To enter manual coordinates/amounts –

▶ Use the Genesys trackpad or touchscreen to select the coordinate value box.
▶ Use the Genesys alphanumeric keypad to enter a value between 0.000 and 1.000

3D Stereo Object Pan Control

When a stereo object is selected from the object dropdown menu, the two mono objects icons will appear in the panning window.

Stereo objects are controlled in the same way as mono objects, via the touchscreen, encoders, or combination control.

Stereo objects copy the controls of the primary object over to the secondary object.

By default, the first object selected when creating the stereo pair, becomes the primary object of the object pair.

Stereo Object Height coordinates and size amount are permanently linked. Any height coordinate or size amount applied to the primary object, is also applied to the secondary object.

Stereo Object X/Y Mirroring

There are four possible X/Y mirroring options for stereo objects. Once a stereo object is selected from the object dropdown menu, the X/Y mirroring options will become available.

AMS Neve GENESYS G3D - Stereo Object X/Y Mirroring - 1

AMS Neve GENESYS G3D - Stereo Object X/Y Mirroring - 2

Mirror X – Objects are mirrored on the X axis and linked on the Y axis. This option is activated by default when stereo objects are selected. Any FB action is copied from the primary object to the secondary object when panning. Any LCR action for the primary object places its mirror image in the secondary object. For example, panning from centre to left in the primary channel, produces a pan from centre to right in the secondary channel.

AMS Neve GENESYS G3D - Stereo Object X/Y Mirroring - 3

AMS Neve GENESYS G3D - Stereo Object X/Y Mirroring - 4

Mirror Y – Objects are mirrored on the Y axis and linked on the X axis. Any LCR action is copied from the primary object to the secondary object when panning. Any FB action for the primary object places its mirror image in the secondary object. For example, panning from front to back in the primary channel, produces a pan from back to front in the secondary channel.

AMS Neve GENESYS G3D - Stereo Object X/Y Mirroring - 5

AMS Neve GENESYS G3D - Stereo Object X/Y Mirroring - 6

Mirror X/Y – Objects are mirrored on the X and Y axis. Any LCR action from the primary object places its mirror image in the secondary object and any FB action for the primary object places its mirror image in the secondary object. For example, panning from centre to the left-front corner in the primary channel, produces a pan from centre to the back-right corner in the secondary channel.

AMS Neve GENESYS G3D - Stereo Object X/Y Mirroring - 7

AMS Neve GENESYS G3D - Stereo Object X/Y Mirroring - 8

None – Objects are linked but not mirrored. Any action from the primary object is copied to the secondary object. This option places both objects in the same position when panning LCR and FB. For example, panning from the centre to the left of the primary channel, produces a pan from centre to the left of the secondary channel.

Note: When no mirror options are selected, only the primary object number is displayed.

3D monitor control

The Genesys 3D monitor Level control includes a new option labelled 3D.

This option allows for remote control of the Dolby Renderer's attenuation controls from the console surface.

3D is activated whenever the Genesys 3D application is opened, focusing the Genesys Monitor level control onto the Dolby Atmos system, rather than the local stereo monitoring system.

3D is also accessible directly from the Monitor Level control. Users can access the five local monitoring options and the Atmos 3D option by toggling through the available monitor options – stereo (all LEDs off) 3D, DIM, AFL, PFL, SIF

When in 3D mode, the 4-digit display shows the Dolby Atmos Renderer attenuation level.

If Lock Monitor Level is selected in the Settings screen, only the stereo (all LEDs off) and 3D monitoring options can be toggled.

At the top of the Genesys 3D application, the attenuation level of the Dolby Atmos Renderer is displayed. This soft control can also be used to attenuate the Dolby Atmos Renderer output level via touchscreen or trackpad control.

Any changes made from the Genesys 3D monitor level control, are mirrored in the Atmos application and Dolby Atmos Renderer when in 3D monitoring mode.

Loudspeaker Cut

When Cut is active, any of the loudspeaker outputs in the array can be cut by using the touchscreen or by clicking the position with the Genesys trackpad.

Single Loudspeaker Cut

To cut a single loudspeaker output, touch a loudspeaker position on the touchscreen, or click the position with the Genesys trackpad.

Cut is latching, meaning that subsequent touches/clicks to other loudspeaker outputs will also be cut as well as the first loudspeaker output.

Multiple loudspeakers can be manually cut one-by-one by using this method.

Custom Loudspeaker Group Cut

To cut a custom group of loudspeaker outputs, touch/click and drag a region on the touchscreen.

A temporary blue box will appear while touching/clicking. Any loudspeaker output within the box will cut once the blue box touches it's icon.

Only one custom group can be applied at a time, drawing a second cut box will void the previous cuts applied.

Additional loudspeaker outputs can be added to the cut group by single touch/clicking, once the cut group is applied.

Fixed Loudspeaker Group Cut

There are three fixed groups of loudspeaker outputs provided - LCR, Surrounds, Heights.

Pressing each of these groups while Cut is engaged will cut loudspeaker outputs associated with the fixed loudspeaker output group.
