2.13.2 Port Selection .....................................................................
The ports buttons in the top left-hand corner of the display select which port is being configured in the rest of the display. Each
port relates to a set of physical audio connections:
Local I/O The I/O installed in the rear of the console
Rack A remote I/O rack connected via MADI or Optocore
Con A separate console connected using MADI or Optocore,
Once a port has been selected, the connections contained within it are displayed in the Sockets graphic which makes up the most
of the rest of the Audio IO display.
The box to the right of each port selection button displays the current state of the connection:
New optocore ports can be added to the ports selection area by pressing the add port button, below the Connection box.
User-created ports can also be deleted by pressing the remove port button, below the add port button.
Copying Audio and Listening to Copied Audio (MADI Recorder Setup)
Any incoming MADI or Optocore connected rack stream can be copied to any other MADI Output by selecting the incoming Port in
the Ports list and using the Copy Audio To drop down menu. For example, if you want to copy Rack 1's Audio Inputs to a MADI
equipped recorder connected on Port 2, select Port 1 in the ports list and then select MADI 2 from the Copy Audio To drop down
menu.
The console will send the 56 or 64 channel MADI stream to MADI Output 2 and it can be recorded as necessary.
In addition, by connecting the recorder's MADI Output to the console's MADI 2 Input, the playback can be monitored in the same
channels as the original source material. Just press the Listen To Copied Audio button to monitor playback and press it again to
return to monitoring the live sources from the rack.
When Listen to Copied Audio is active, "Listening to Copied Audio" is displayed in the session status panel of the master screen.
More complex inter port routing is possible using the Copy Audio Panel. Please see the COPY AUDIO section of this manual.
