CR Path Channel Matrix
CR Path
The Control Room Path (CR Path) channel ma-
trix provides monitoring channel assignment
rows for the MAIN and ALT CR Path.
Format
The MAIN and ALT CR Path Format selectors let
you select from the following channel formats:
• None (the monitoring path is disabled)
• Mono
• Stereo
• 2.1 (stereo plus an Lf channel)
• LCR
• LCRS
• Quad
• 5.0
• 5.1
• 6.0
• 6.1
• 7.0
• 7.1
A Note About Odd Number Formats
Since the Output channels for HD OMNI are in
stereo pairs, any time you assign an odd num-
bered Format (such as mono, LCR, or 5.0), all
stereo pairs carrying those channel assignments
are used for the Monitor path and are unavail-
able as direct physical outputs in both the Hard-
ware Setup and I/O Setup. For example, if you
assign an LCR Monitoring path to Output chan-
nels 1–2 and 3 in the Monitor page of the Hard-
ware Setup (see 1. below), channel 4 also be-
comes unavailable in the Main page of the
Hardware Setup and in the Output page of the
I/O Setup (see 2. below).
