control of the channels. Track mapping lets you label video and audio tracks, and
control audio input and routing.
This chapter is divided into two sections:

This section is divided into the following topics:

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.
