8.2 Output Patching
‘Set Outputs’ activates all preselected patch points to outputs on remote
systems. This introduces an additional safety step in creating a remote patch
connection.
The operator might want to switch several outputs to a different system (e.g.
program outputs) at the same time. So when he is making the connections
in the patch, they are marked in gray, indicating that the connection has not
yet been established. Only when the ‘Set Outputs’ button is clicked, all the
gray connections are set active at the same time. ‘Set Outputs’ only becomes
active if some output patch connections are made to other systems.
This is only necessary when doing patch connections manually. When using
snapshots, the connections are applied immediately.
There is now also a new Edit dialog that allows saving multiple output patches
to shared targets as ‘Output Snapshots’. They must be given a name so that
they can be recalled later from the lower right corner of the GC (Graphical
Controller). An existing ‘Output Snapshot’ can be loaded as well, which
means that the saved patch connections are not established but just shown in
the gray, ‘pending’ state instead. In this state, the pending connections can
now be edited and saved, e.g. under a new name.
