Figure 21-2: LM Series Signal Flow (Mesa Mode)
The signal from the any of the eight input routers identified in Figure 21-1 and Figure 21-2 can be connected
directly to any output. This is useful for various reasons, including audio signal conversion (e.g. from analog
to digital) and for using the LM Series devices as a break-in box for Dante.
For example, Input Routers 1-4 could be configured to provide inputs to the processing modules, while input
routers 7+8 could be configured to provide a stereo break-in for the Dante audio network. As it is the signal
coming out of the input router that is connected to the outputs, rather than directly routing the input to the
output, this provides the ability to fail-over from AES to Analog input before sending the signal to the output.
This ensures that the receiving device has uninterrupted audio when fail-over from AES to analog occurs.
In Mesa Mode, the signal from all eight Input Routers is available
for Input Mute and Module Input Mixer functionality. In Contour
Mode, only Input Routers 1-4 provide this functionality; the signal
from Input Routers 5-8 may be patched directly to the outputs.
