Matrix Pool Sources
For a specially-configured matrix pool source, you can select a signal from a remote matrix using the fader strip
rotary control and
TAKE
button. This works in a similar manner to the AoIP stream selection for RAVENNA
sources, but this time the pool provides access to pre-configured signals from a networked router.
6.7.1
Signal Naming & Organization
To support this feature, inputs within the remote matrix must be named using the the following naming
convention: "Group:Signal". When using dynamic input switching, this provides a two-step navigation process:
first select the Group, and then browse through all available Signals within that Group. Both the Group and
Signal labels can be up to 8 characters.
By default, the signal labels are retrieved automatically from the networked router (if using NetCom or Remote
MNOPL protocols).

Once you are happy with the selection, press the

In our example, the three lines of text show the following information:
·
MADI =
the Group name (defined in the remote matrix).
·
In 3
= the Signal name (defined in the remote matrix).
·
Nova17 =
the source Display Name (defined in the configuration).
