Setting up the Glensound Silver COIN 4016 Commentator Panel

The COIN Silver 4016 is a hybrid panel based on the RTS DKP4016 with added circuitry and hardware to provide a dual commentator panel.

4 talkback keys have been removed for a less cluttered workspace.

The interaction between talkback keys and mic on/off interlocks needs to be set up before the panel can be used in an intercom system

Connecting the panel to the ODIN using IP Edit


The panel will use two ODIN ports, they do not need to be consecutive but it’s easier to visualise the setup if they are.

For the sake of example imagine that we are connecting the COIN Silver 4016 to ODIN port 13. ODIN port 14 will be the channel for the second announcer. The panel has one ip Address which is 192.168.10.13.

To connect ODIN and panel:

Point channel 13 of ODIN to channel 1 of the panel.

Point channel 1 of the panel to channel 13 of ODIN.

Point channel 14 of ODIN to channel 2 of the panel

Point channel 2 of of the panel to ODIN channel 14.

In the IP Edit ODIN view channel 13 should have audio and data connection visible, port 14 should have an audio connection only (data Indication field should be blank.)

Configuring the COIN 4016

The six talkback keys on the left are assigned to the left hand headset and the six on the right to the right hand headset. Because the panel only has one physical connection to the matrix we must define any keys on the right and change the crosspoint that is closed when these keys are operated otherwise the intercom will always detect a call from the port that is connected.

User Resources and User Programmable Logic.

The right hand talkback keys need a function assigned to them. We must create a user resource (UR) which will define the condition for the logic statement.

Create a UR Alpha which will be the UPL Resource. To call the Producer from a right hand intercom key we create the Alpha, “Prod*” ,in this case

From the UPL Resources table, double click the UR you wish to define.

Closing an arbitrary crosspoint

Configure the crosspoint this key (PROD*) will close by defining the input (port 14) and the output (port 10, for the Producer.)

Add this Alpha to an intercom key on the right side of the COIN Silver 4016 panel. It will have a different default colour indicating it a UR.

Interaction between Commentator Mic and talkback channels

Talkback keys should mute the commentator mic to air when operated so that the audio is only used in the intercom and is not broadcast.

Creating a UPL Statement.

The desired output action is to assert one of the GPI Outputs (local to the panel, NOT from the ODIN frame itself)

The two relays RY01 and RY02 are wired internally during manufacture but we must define the logic function and assign it to a key, in other words we tell the panel which key mutes which mic.

  1. Create a UR describing the function to be performed (MUTE A) in this case.
  2. Navigate to the UPL menu.
  3. Select UPL Resource as the Type and your UR as the UPL Resource.
  4. Select the output action from the drop down. The panel has two local relays, you assign relay 1 to MUTE A and relay 2 to MUTE B

In the description field a “while” statement means that at any time this key is active on the system the output will be triggered thus muting the appropriate mic.

This key should be assigned to the second level talk key of all intercom keys so that when the intercom key becomes active the UPL statement becomes active.

Audio routing

The right hand headset should be assigned to OMNEO Channel 2 in the audio mixing menu in the advanced section of the keypanel configuration menu.the right headset should also be disabled in the audio options menu for the connected panel.
