Chapter 12: Assigning Inserts, Sends and I/O with the Assign Matrix 141
Overview of the Assign Matrix
The Assign Matrix is divided into three main areas: the Menu area, Select area, and Navigation area.
Menu Area
The Menu area is a single column of encoders that shows the
insert, send, or I/O assignments on the track where you are
making the assignment. These encoders let you select the in-
sert position, send position, or I/O path you want to assign, as
well as select different tracks for assignment.
Select Area
The Select area consists of six columns of encoders that show
the names of available inserts, sends or I/O paths. These en-
coders let you navigate quickly through submenus and indi-
vidual inserts, sends, and I/O paths.
Navigation Area
The Navigation area is a single column of encoders that dis-
plays the current menu location in the Assign Matrix, and pro-
vides commands for navigating in the Select area. These en-
coders let you page through available items, go back to
previous menu levels, lock the display of the Select area, and
exit Assign mode.
Assign Matrix Lock Mode
In normal operation, the Assign Matrix closes after you make
or remove an assignment. You can set the Assign Matrix to re-
main open after an assignment is made or removed, so you can
make additional assignments.
To set the Assign Matrix to remain open after an assignment is
made (“Lock mode”):
1
Display an Insert, Send, or I/O assignment in the Assign Ma-
trix.
2
In the Assign Matrix Navigation area, press the encoder Se-
lect switch labeled “Lock.”
The “Lock” switch lights and the encoder display turns red to
indicate locked status.
To take the Assign Matrix out of Lock mode:

In the Assign Matrix Navigation area, press the lit “Lock”
switch.
