Chapter 14 Channel Ganging and Track Mapping
Using channel ganging
Ganging record channels allows you to create multi-track clips with one record
session. Ganging play channels allows you to play different audio or video
simultaneously on two different channels. For example, you could have an English
audio track on one play channel, while another channel played a Spanish audio track.
Or you could play one video on two channels, with SD output on one channel and HD
output on the other. (If using HD video, the SD channel would down-convert and the
HD channel would pass the video through.) Once configured, a gang of channels can
be controlled by clicking on the channel controls. You cannot gang play and record
channels together, or playlists.
The following illustration shows two gangs: the first gang (G1) recording a clip and
the second gang (G2) playing another clip. Both gangs have been configured to record
audio and video on more than one channel. In G1, if you click the
Record button on
the first channel pane, both channels record the clip. Any of the controls in the first
channel affect both channels in the gang, including settings for loop playback,
continuous record, and E-to-E.In G2, the same clip is playing out on both channels.
The first channel displays the name of the clip and a thumbnail of the video. The top

Video from all channels in the gang is recorded. You can record up to four video tracks
on one clip. The order of video tracks in the clip is determined by the order of channels in
the group. (For information on how to rearrange the video tracks, see
“Re-arranging the
order of the tracks” on page 245 .)
If this box is not checked:
Only video from the first channel in the gang is recorded.
