FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
23
3.1.5. Routing: Sending selection and configuration for each channel.
This function is available in the standard operating mode. In the “
Bus Send Mode ”,
the Routing control performs an activation or deactivation function on the direct
routing to an output bus that was previously associated to this button in the
configuration software; the Routing function is not available in this mode.
Using the Routing menu requires some initial data, defined in the configuration of the
system, in which the way each input is routed to the different defined outputs is
described. These outputs do not necessarily have to be physical, but more
generically are also summing buses, subgroups, masters, auxiliaries, etc.
The Routing menu makes it
possible to:
•
Show active sends and
assign the signal
available on each
channel to existing
buses.
•
Define the send mode
(pre- or post-fader) and
other parameters.
When the “Routing” (11) Pushbutton / indicator for the channel is pressed, the level
and configuration display (4) shall show the initial menu display. Exit by once again
pressing the same key, or using the options that are displayed on the screen.
You can move between boxes by using the navigation keys (5). Once you are on the
desired box, you enter edit mode by pressing the OK key (5). Once you are on the
box and it is activated, you can change the configuration options by turning the
navigation encoder (6). The way it works is as follows:
ƒ
The first column, “ Av. ” (Available), uses the symbol “
ŽŽ
“ to indicate that the
sending is available and the symbol “
--
“ to indicate that the sending is not
available, as it might be unavailable even when the cross point exists because
it’s been defined by the administrator.
ƒ
The second column, “ Destination ”, is the label or name of the output to which
the signal is sent. This is assigned from the configuration software routing.
Only those destinations that were previously defined as available for that
channel will be on the Destination list. If there are more destinations than the
maximum number that can be displayed on the screen, the “More UP” or
“More DOWN” indications will appear to offer access to the rest of the list.
ƒ
The third column, “ Type ”, shows the sending configuration and lets you
modify:
o
Sending type: Str (Stereo), Mon L (Mono L), Mon R or Mon L+R.
o
Sending form: pre- or post-fader.
