Prior to describe available modes, cards plugged into the AuviTran Audio ToolBox will be named that way:

11.2 Automatic Plug and Play mode vs. Advanced Matrix Routing
mode
11.2.1
Automatic Plug and Play mode
This mode enables automatic audio routing sources and receivers between the “First Card” and the other cards plugged into
the AuviTran Audio ToolBox. Priority routing depends on the slot number in which cards are plugged (from slower to higher
slot).
The automatic audio routing done follows these two rules for receivers and sources:
o
“First-card” sources are sent to “Second-card” receivers
o
Remaining “First-card” sources are then sent to “Third-card” receivers
o
… until no “First-Card” sources are available for distribution
o
Unassigned receivers are muted
o
“First-card” receivers are fed with “Second-card” sources
o
Remaining “First-card” receivers are fed with “Third-card” sources
o
… until no “n
th
-card” sources are available
Here are two examples on automatic plug and play mode results:

11.2.2
Advanced Matrix Routing mode
This mode allows user to set manually the matrix routing using the dedicated matrix window. By clicking on the patch, a
source can be assigned or unassigned to a receiver.
Note: This mode is only available on AVBx7 with firmware 0x104.
Note: When slot configuration is changed, matrix routing mode resets and sets back to Automatic Plug and Play mode.
