Notes on other hardware controls

MONO key

When the card is being used for

monitoring in surround mode, the

MONO

key

on the control surface is used to turn downmix
on and off (as set up in

DOWN MIX

).

DIM key

The

DIM

key on the control sur-

face can be used in the usual way to dim the
outputs from the card. The dimming level is
set in the mixer.

ROUTING option

There are two main functions here. The first
allows you to set up the monitoring keys, and

the second allows assignment of the outputs
to the different channels.

Figure 2.4: ROUTING option screen

Monitoring keys

The three assignable monitor selection hard-
ware keys in the mixer’s monitoring section
can be set here.

The following can be selected as monitor
sources (stereo):

• Individual Aux busses
• Pairs of Aux busses
• Individual busses
• Pairs of busses
• Digital inputs (1 or 2)
• 2 TR analog inputs
• The TDIF signals (1 through 3)

• The ADAT signal
• The signal of any card in a slot other than

the surround monitor card

In LRCS, 5.1 or 6.1 modes:

• Surround buss 1–8
• Surround buss 9–16
• Digital inputs (1 or 2)
• The TDIF signals (1 through 3)
• The ADAT signal
• The signal of any card in a slot other than

the surround monitor card

Output routing

When a “Line” is referred to in this screen, it is
referring to the analog output line from the IF-
SM/DM card (as shown in Table 1.2, Pin
assignments of the IF-SM/DM analog outputs
)..

The lines can be assigned to the different chan-
nels used by the surround pattern currently
selected, differing from the default assignments
made when the surround pattern is selected.

These channels are shown as

L, R, C

, etc. If a

line output is unused by the pattern, as output
8 is unused in Figure 2.4, ROUTING option
screen
, it is sho
wn with the number and
dashes (

-8-

).

Note that loopback routing is not possible in
this case (see Figure 3.2, Level diagram).
