8.2.2 Internal Sources
Internal sources are those connected to the MAIN inputs on the Surround Monitor. They are switched into the
speakers when the NEAR switch on the console is not active, or by the INT screen button on the CR MON &
STUDIO page. The diagram opposite shows the normal connections to the Surround Monitor inputs.
When the Surround Monitor is switched to Internal, you may choose any of the system busses as your Internal
Monitor source. This is also done on the CR MON & STUDIO screen, and switching is done immediately. When Solo
is non-destructive and SOLO to C/R is checked on the Buss Allocation page, its busses are automatically selected
when a channel is soloed.
8.2.2.1
Outputs for Internal Sources
Output ports are allocated to monitoring by touching the DEFINE PORTS button on the C/R Monitoring line of the
Buss Allocation page. The number of ports should be equal to the width of M1, e.g. 4 ports if M1 is LCRS. Note that
there is no restriction on which outputs (A or B) can be used for monitoring.
Normally M1 is the Internal source, so the Monitoring ports output a "copy" of the M1 busses (they may also be
emerging from other dedicated ports for recording). When a different internal source is selected (e.g. AUX A) the
monitoring ports are re-directed to pick up the stereo Aux A buss. When a stereo source is selected, all monitor
outputs other than Left and Right are muted.
8.2.2.2
Outputs for Sub-Busses
In many cases you may not need dedicated outputs for your sub-busses, particularly if you are re-recording them
back into the Disk Recorder, and this can make more room for Monitoring outputs.
8.2.2.3
Busses and Outputs for AFL/PFL
If you need to operate AFL/PFL, without affecting your Main Buss Output, you must allocate busses to it, by
checking AFL/PFL -Non Dest on the BUSS ALLOC screen.
You still do not need dedicated outputs, because the Solo busses can be automatically switched into the monitoring.
You should assign outputs to AFL/PFL by touching the Define Ports button in the SOLO line of the BUSS ALLOC
screen. Then switch off SOLO to C/R to prevent the main monitors from being interrupted.
