Protect a Patch from Memory Loads
Patches can be ‘fixed’, isolating them from memory load changes. Fixed patches are also protected under
the port protection system in the same way as ports which are in use by multiple Hydra2 network users
(See
”SOURCE AND DESTINATION PROTECTION” on page 86 ).
To Fix a patch:
1. Select one or more patched destinations.
2. Tap
FIX in the screen footer.
3. To un-fix the patch, tap FIX again.
Isolating a Patch
Isolating a patch protects it from changes due to memory loads, but it differs from patch fixing in that patch isolation only
relates to actions performed on the local Brio 36 console. Isolated patches can still be over-patched by other Hydra2
users and by memory loads on other consoles on the network.
To isolate a patch:
1. Select one or more patched destinations.
2. Tap
ISO in the screen footer.
3. To de-isolate the patch, tap ISO again.
Removing a Patch
To remove a patch from the system:
1. Select either the source or destination (or one of the destinations if the source is patched to more than one).
2. Tap
REMOVE in the screen footer. The patch is automatically removed, unless it is ‘fixed’ on the surface or
was made by another Hydra2 user, in which case a pop-up appears requiring confirmation of the removal
.
Inputs 1 and 2
Every Brio 36 channel has two inputs, 1 and 2, to which two entirely separate feeds can be patched. Input 2 is generally
used for patching a back-up microphone so that if the feed to input 1 fails, you can quickly switch to use input 2, which
has exactly the same processing, routing and output patching applied to it as input 1.
Patching Outputs to Inputs
Desk outputs and buses can be connected directly back into channel inputs. This method of control is different to just
attaching a console output to a fader. From the I/O patching screen select DESK OUTPUTS in the sources screen and
DESK INPUTS in the destinations screen and patch as normal.
