4.0 Channel Output Routing and Bus Assignment
The output of each audio path (Fader 1 and Fader 2) may be routed to the following destinations:
•
Channel Direct Output
•
Multitrack Summing Busses 1-24
•
Stereo Program Bus A
•
Stereo Program Bus B
•
Stereo Program Bus C
•
Surround Program Bus
IMPORTANT NOTE: If no output assignments have been made, the output of the Fader 1 will feed
the Channel Direct Output and the Fader 2 will not be routed anywhere.
In a tracking session, it is typical for Fader 2 to be assigned to the Direct Output or a Multitrack
Summing Bus and Fader 1 to feed the Stereo A (STA) Program Bus. In a mixing session, it is typical for
both paths on most channels to be assigned to one or more Program Bus (Stereo A, B, C, and/or
Surround). The Fader 2 audio path may be used to create additional sends during a mix.
The channel Direct Output may be fed from the output of the Fader 1 by default. It may be fed from
Fader 2 when the DIR switch on the 1068L Input module is engaged. The Direct Output cannot be fed
from both audio paths simultaneously.
Assignments to the Multitrack Summing Busses can be made from only one audio path at a time (Fader
1 or Fader 2). In other words, the Multitrack Summing Busses cannot be accessed from both paths
simultaneously.
Assignments to all Program Busses may be made from both paths simultaneously. This allows both the
Fader 1 and Fader 2 audio paths to contribute to the Program Busses during mix down. This means a
Vision console with 48 channels provides 96 automated channels with surround panning while mixing.
Assignments to the Multitrack Summing and Program Busses may be made in two ways:
•
Hardware: Using the 16-channel Output Assignment module
•
Software: Using the recall system
Output assignments may be stored and recalled using the recall system
Section 4.1 will explain how to assign the Direct Output.
Section 4.2 will explain how to make output assignments using the 16-channel Output Assignment
module.
Section 4.3 will explain how to make output assignments using the recall system in the Vision software.
4.1
Channel Direct Output
The Direct Output may be fed from the output of the Fader 1 or Fader 2 audio paths, but not both
simultaneously.
The Direct Output is fed from the Fader 1 path by default. It may be fed from the Fader 2 path if
the DIR switch is engaged on the 1068L Input module.
NOTE: There is not a DIR switch for Fader 1. The DIR is included with the Fader 2 controls
and toggles the Direct Output to be fed from one fader or the other. When the DIR
switch is not engaged, the Direct Output is fed from Fader 1.
DIR (Direct Output): Routes the output of Fader 2 to the Direct Output

The Direct Output is fed POST the MUTE switch

A yellow LED indicator illuminates when engaged
