Operation
Data Routing
Performing a Broadcast Take
Follow these steps:
1 Select a destination and route a source to it. The source becomes the master because
the router is in data forward mode. This destination is the slave and communicates
bidirectionally with the master on the machine control level.
2 Press ‘Broadcast’ (so that it is high-tally).
3 Choose a destination and route the same source to it. This destination only receives
control commands; it will not return status.
4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 to connect additional slave destinations.
5 To remove one slave from the group, turn off ‘Broadcast’ and route a source to it that is
not the master (e.g., the free source). This new device must have a machine control
connection.
6 To clear the entire broadcast route, turn off ‘Broadcast’ and select the master device as
the destination in a new route. (We recommend that you use the free source as the new
source). The entire broadcast route is cleared, and data connections are removed from
all slaves.
Important Points
• After you perform the complete take, you must start the playback of the source device
manually.
• The panel provides no way to determine which devices belong to the “broadcast
group.” You must keep track of this yourself.
• If another operator takes either your master device or the first slave device, the entire
broadcast group collapses. Any other slave can be removed from the group, however,
without collapsing the entire group. Only the primary pair is critical to the group’s
integrity.
Data Routing
There are 3 data routing options that affect sources and destinations that have a machine
control level (i.e., a data level). These options govern what happens when a source or
destination device is to be used.
Automatic Data Routing
A take involving a machine control level occurs automatically, without intervention,
regardless of who is using a device.
This option applies in all operating modes.
Manual Data Routing
A take involving a machine control level occurs on all levels except the machine control
level. You must route the machine control level as a breakaway.
When a take involving a machine control level occurs, the status display shows the name of
the machine control level and the destination display shows “In Use.” That is a signal that
you need to take the machine control level as a breakaway.
This option applies only in limited X-Y mode.
