C-Play Routing and Channel Assignment

C-Play’s two players can be routed as a normal audio source, using the console’s standard rooting procedures (See Section

5 of the main Operating Manual). By default, the C-Play sources are located in the

Misc

group, simply labelled

CPlay 1

and

CPlay 2

, but can be moved to any other group in the normal way.

If a player has been assigned a channel strip, basic transport functions can be controlled from the fader and softkeys (See

Transport Control Options), and essential Cut status information is displayed in the Pan area at the base of the Channel

Information Display.

V-Cart Mode

To enter V-Cart mode from Freeplay mode, touch the

V-Cart

button towards the top right of the C-Play window.

Note that if this button is labelled ‘

Freeplay

’, you are already in V-Cart mode.

Navigating V-Cart Mode

In V-Cart mode, Player 1’s Cut or Playlist list is shown on the left and Player 2’s list is shown on the right. Each list can be

placed in Playlist view by touching the Playlist button. The

Playlist

button lights to indicate Playlist mode.

Note that one player can be Cut view while the other is in Playlist view. The

Playlist

button indicates the view for the

currently controlled player.

Note also that if the unselected player is in Freeplay mode while the selected player is in V-Cart mode, the file list for the

unselected player will be blank
