Output Mix Routing Page
Now this is where it gets interesting. Although Hilo is, at first glance, a two channel AD/DA converter, it is really much more and this
page gets down to the nitty gritty.
The Output Mix Routing page is where any combination of Hilo’s inputs can be routed to any combination of Hilo’s outputs. The
principle here was to make the various I/O formats as independent as possible, very little is “hard-wired”. This is not simple point-to-
point patching. Multiple sources can be merged to a single output. Levels can be set and adjusted for all input sources and outputs.
Sources can be mirrored to multiple outputs. Sources and outputs can be muted. This is why Hilo has an internal 32 x 32 channel
mixer. This is where you get to use it.
First a few conventions:
RED buttons mean that the associated signal source or output is OFF or MUTED.
GREEN buttons mean ON or UNMUTED.
A WHITE LINE around a button means this is the channel is in focus, and can be acted upon by the
faders or ON/OFF switch below the fader.
As you can see, the page is divided into input sources on the left and outputs on the right. What we are seeing here is which input
sources are assigned to the displayed output. We are not turning inputs On and Off, we are turning the connection between an
input and output On or Off. Think of it as a patch cable.
The ON/OFF button on the Inputs side patches that input source to the active output. On the Output side, the On/Off button mutes or
un-mutes the selected output.
In the Graphic above, we see the Line In as well as USB channels 1&2 being routed to the Hilo’s Line Out.
