8.1.5 Main Busses
You may create 1 or 2 main busses, known as M1 and M2. They may have any buss width, namely stereo, Dolby
Surround (LCRS), Stereo Surround (LCRSS), or 5.1 format (LCRSSB). Panpots on faders that are assigned to main
busses automatically configure themselves to deliver the right number of destinations.
8.1.6 Multitrack Busses
These are separate mono busses that are accessed from the Channel Configuration page. Stabbing the Box under
Multitrack Busses allows the user to enter a number corresponding to the number of Multitrack Busses required.
These will then appear on the Channel Configuration page for access.
8.1.7 5.1 Format
5.1 format is enabled by setting at least one main buss to be 5.1 format on the Buss allocation page. Monitoring is
separately switched to 5.1 on the same page.
When 5.1 is enabled, the level of any channel to the Boom channel is set by activating the Faders To function,
and selecting BOOM. At this point, whilst the Faders To page is active, the faders will be controlling the levels
sent to the Boom buss.
On the channel configuration page you will see a button that makes the SUB send pre main fader. Normally the
SUB send is a trim to the main fader position (i.e. SUB follows main fader). This button makes the SUB fader an
absolute fader level.
8.1.8 Solo
Check only
This will allow only Solo-in-Place to be selected.
AFL/PFL-Dest.
In this mode, no busses are dedicated for AFL/PFL. When AFL or PFL is selected as the Solo Mode, two of the M1
busses are stolen and replaced by the soloed channels. Even when M1 is wider than 2 channels, e.g. LCRS, all of
M1s outputs are muted. The advantage of this mode is that SOLO does not consume busses.
AFL/PFL-Non Dest.
With this option selected, AFL/PFL have a pair of busses reserved for their use. M1 is not interrupted by solo,
making it possible to solo a channel while the main buss is being recorded.
SOLO to C/R
With this option checked, soloing a channel causes the SOLO busses to take the Control Room Monitor outputs,
replacing whatever was being monitored in the main speakers. Switching this option off allows SOLO to be sent to
alternative speakers without interrupting the main ones.
8.1.9 C/R Monitor
See Monitoring Setup, below.
