Putting Sound in the Picture

 

39

The User-Busses screen allows 
the width of the main, group and 
auxiliary busses to be defined.

Mains

Each main output can be set to be stereo, 
stereo but surround enabled,  or surround.

Groups

Group busses can be selected to be 
mono or stereo in blocks of 4.  Stereo 
channels feed a mix of left and right to 
mono groups.  Mono channels pan L/R to 
stereo groups.

Auxiliary Busses

Mono auxiliary busses can be paired up 
to make stereo auxiliary busses.  When a 
pair of auxiliaries are changed in this way, 
all settings of the pair are cleared.   A pop-
up confirmation must be accepted before 
this action is carried out. 

Pre-send Cut

Options are available for the pre-send to 
be cut :

when the channel or group is cut

• 

when the channel or group fader is 

• 

closed
when the fader is open and not cut 

• 

(Bird Beater).  This option cancels the 
other two pre-send cut options. 

The bird beater option mutes the auxiliary 
pre-fader send  when it’s fader is open 
and not cut. Therefore, closing the fader 
or using the cut switch enables the 
auxiliary pre-fader send.  One use of this 
feature is to give the producer a feed to 
the “cue speaker” when the announcer 
or commentator microphones are closed 
during a commercial or other break in a 
live broadcast.
