4.7.6 SysAdmin: Signaling Setup
The Signaling Setup Menu allows on-line assignment of available Signal-
ing relays to functions, such as Red Light activation or Fader Start of re-
mote systems. It also allows Save and Load of such assignment configura-
tions for later use.
Output Signaling is always related to the Patch Sources. The D950/Vista
console is fully assignable, meaning that:
•
A channel can be assigned to any channel strip;
• An audio Source (for example, a CD Player) can be patched into any
channel and be accessed via any fader;
• A Snapshot can change the entire Patch settings.
For these reasons, it is impossible to assign an output Signaling device,
such as a Fader Start relay, to a
specific fader. Instead, it has to be assigned
to the Patch source which, in turn, is assigned to a fader via the Patch. In
this way, the system logic is able to activate, for example, the correct relay
when a fader is opened. All output Signaling always follows the Sources,
and the Signaling Assignment itself also is Source-oriented.
The D950/Vista system automatically knows how many Signaling relays
are available by accessing that information from the configuration and
*.ini
files. The available Sources are read from the Session Configura-
tion. The Signaling Configuration is all about assigning the right relay to
the right source, as we will see next.
