“

Mono

”

:

allows you to define whether the selected input channel is Mono or Stereo. By

default, all the input channels (except the mic/line inputs) of AEQ CAPITOL are defined
as Stereo. If any channel is re-configured to Mono it will result in an incremented
number of the listed available input channels: one Stereo Channel is converted into two
Mono channels. This option is

not

available for

microphone

channels.

•

“

Studio On Air

”

:

associates the activation of Channel ON/OFF key of this channel with

the triggering of a GPO for the “ON-AIR” lights of the Studio room (see section 4.2.4.1
of this manual). It also associates the studio monitors muting. Typically you would
associate this function to microphone channels.

•

“

Control On Air

”

:

associates the activation of Channel ON/OFF key of this channel with

the triggering of a GPO for the “ON-AIR” lights of the Control room (see section 4.2.4.1
of this manual). It also associates the muting of the control monitors and the CUE bus.
Typically you would associate this function to auto-control microphone channel.

4.2.3.2. Advanced configuration of output channels menu.

Even if all configuration options and possibilities are explained hereunder, it should be taken
into account that the on-screen options may vary depending on the inputs/outputs module that
the logical audio audio channel has been configured for.

•

Header:

Informative field that indicates type and position of the module that is

configured at that moment.

o

“

OUTPUT HW:xx.0y

” means that we are setting the output "y" of the virtual

card located in slot xx.

•

“

Label

”

:

alphanumeric name of the channel. Maximum number of characters

recommended is 6. This is the name that appears on all displays and menus of the AEQ
CAPITOL control surface.

•

“

Default Routing

”

:

allows you to configure the signal routed by default to that output

channel. You can select any input channel (“Inputs” in “Type” column) or any of the
internal summing buses (“Mixer” in “Type” column; see section 4.2.2 of this manual).

•

“

Mono

”

:

allows you to configure the logical output channel as Mono or Stereo. By

default, all the outputs channels of AEQ CAPITOL are defined as Stereo. If any channel
is re-configured to Mono it will result in an incremented number of the listed available
output channels: one Stereo Channel is converted into two Mono channels.
