The LIO Property: section of the window also has a
Shared check box. It is rather easier to explain the use of
this check box by first explaining what we mean by the
opposite term, “not shared.” The factory defined logic
functions all work in a “not shared” mode. This is best
described using a specific example from a system that
includes one or more surfaces.
Let’s say that you have a CD player signal with an
associated “Machine Start” logic output. This would
typically be the case when you want the CD player to
begin playing a cut when a surface fader’s ON button is
pressed. But what happens when that same CD player also
gets assigned to a different fader, say on another surface
in a different studio? We normally would not want an ON button press on this second
fader to fire the Machine Start logic while the cut is playing, possibly on air, on the first
surface, since it might restart the cut, or switch to a new cut. In fact, using the factory
defined functions, like “Machine Start,” we lock out control from additional faders when
the first fader is turned on, rather than “share” the logic signal.
Having said that, checking the “Shared” check box for a user defined logic signal al ‑
lows the signal to be shared among users of the signal. In the above example, with both
faders on, either fader’s ON button could fire a shared user defined function at any time.
