1.4.2 Audio I/O Panel .....................................................................
The Audio I/O panel is used to configure the physical I/O connected to the SD9, including configuring and naming the sockets of
the cards installed in racks, and the setting of Pads and phantom power.
Local I/O : The SD9 provides local audio I/O in the rear of the console. These operate independently of connected racks..
To access the SD9 Audio I/O Setup touch Setup>Audio I/O on the Master Screen
The Audio I/O panel that opens is divided up into the following sections:
Port Selection
and Status
Global Port
Management
Configuration of
Cards & Sockets
or Splits & Sharing,
as defined by
buttons to the left
Graphic
Representation of
Selected Rack
Selected Port’s
Properties
The left side of the window shows the ports. Each port relates to an available physical audio connection (Local IO, CAT5 or MADI
Port)
The section immediately to the right of this contains the controls relating to the ports. When a port is selected, this section changes
to reflect the status of the selected port, and allows it’s configuration to be changed as required.
The right hand section of the Audio I/O Window shows a graphical representation of the rack configuration connected to the
selected port. Depending on the port selected, the graphic will change, showing the available physical I/O. Each small “square” on
the image represents a single physical audio connection or socket, with these arranged in columns or rows, representing I/O
cards in racks, or the local I/O on the back of the console.
The section below the graphical rack picture allows configuration of the cards or slots and sockets, including custom naming,
phantom power and pad selection.
The local I/O configuration is fixed, so no hardware changes are possible. You can, however, change the Port Name, the Group
Names and the Socket Names (the name of each physical connector on a card).
