About Channel Ganging
This feature is part of the licensable AppCenter Pro option.
Channel ganging allows you to control the playing or recording of clips on all the channels in the
gang. Ganging record channels together allows you to record up to 4 video or 32 audio tracks. When
you gang play channels together, you can play one clip on all channels or control the playing of
different clips on all the channels in the gang.
If a clip is created with more than 16 audio tracks, but only one video track, when you play it back
on a gang of play channels, only the first video channel plays the video track. (A ganged clip with
16 audio tracks or less plays the video track in all the play channels in the gang.)
NOTE: Do not gang play and record channels together. Do not gang playlists.
