Set Dual Router Channel Sources
Once you have assigned a Dual Router to a pair of fader channels (by clicking Bind), you need to assign the
Sources and/or the Macros to be available on each fader using the Devices, Available Signals/Macros,
and Include Signals/Macros lists for each fader (Figure 4-9).
Figure 4-9. Dual Router Channel Source Setting
Perform these steps:
1.
At the Sources section for the first fader, click a VistaMax device name in the Devices list.
2.
In the Available Signals list, click one or more signals to include from that device. Use one of these
methods to select more than one signal:
•
When signals are adjacent to each other, click the first signal on the list and then hold down the
SHIFT key while you click the last signal.
•
When signals are not adjacent to each other, click a signal and then hold down the CTRL key while
you click all other signals.
3.
Click
next to Available Signals to add the selected signals to the Include Signals list. Only
regularly used sources and macros should be included on each channel.
Notes: Any NetWave Dual Router fader can show a complete list of sources and macros available to the
console when you use the Include All function. Therefore, the Include Signals list should be
kept short (below about 20 names) both for best performance and for board operators to easily
select sources. In Figure 4-9, five Include Signals sources are listed for Fader 13, and six
sources are listed for Fader 14.
You can also include a “macro” on any Dual Router channel. A macro is a special setup file that
typically runs on the NetWave parent device. A macro can take multiple system routes, as well
as take other actions, when taken on a console fader. In Figure 4-9, the macro names begin with
an exclamation point (!) to differentiate them from source names. NetWave console macro files
are typically used to route Telco or four-wire signals, which have both an incoming audio signal
as well as an outgoing audio signal (called the mix-minus). By taking a macro, you can route the
Telco device to the fader channel while a second route takes the mix-minus signal for that fader
and sends it back to the Telco device.
