Patching xDR signals
Patching single inputs
For each channel press the strip SEL key, open the
PREAMP screen and access the Source drop
down menu.
Select xDR 1 or xDR 2 as the source and then
scroll the Slot and Socket to find the one you want
to assign. Touch Apply to assign the source.
To assign the source from an option card fitted to
the xDR Port B select
xDR 1 Port B from the drop
down menu.
Patching a range of inputs
Go to the MIXRACK SETUP / Mixer Pref / Quick
Input Source Select screen.
Select the range of input channels you wish to
assign.
Select Remote (Port B) and the Start and End
range from the xDR you wish to assign. For
example:
X1-A5 = Expander 1 Slot A Socket 5
X1-12 = Expander 1 Port B input 12
Each expander provides 16 XLR mic preamps and
allows assignment from its Port B channels.
xDR signals transported over ACE
Note - All inputs and outputs associated with both
xDR expanders and their Port B options are
transported to/from the MixRack via the ACE
connection. They share the 64 channels in each
direction.
Patching the xDR outputs
Go to the MIXRACK SETUP / Mixer Pref /
Expanders screen to select which range of 8 of the
64 ACE sends are to feed the XLR sockets.
This choice depends on how you want to use the
xDR Port B option if you have a card fitted. For
example, the MMO (Mini Multi Out) card has a fixed
map for its ADAT, iDR (HearBus) and Aviom
outputs. You may want the XLR outputs mapped
from other ACE channels to avoid clashing with the
xDR Port B outputs you want to use.
To patch signals to the xDR go to the OUTPUTS /
Port B ACE screen. Scroll the Channel number
until the xDR XLR or Port B channel is highlighted.
Assign from the Select Output Source drop down
menu in the usual way.
The AES digital outputs, if fitted, are shown as XLR
sockets and patched in the usual way.
