Figure 19. Source Patch Alternative Source Names
It is a good practice to create the least number of names possible. This
ensures consistency in the various displays and reduces the time needed to
enter and edit the names. If you can create short engineering names that
work for both the production staff and engineering, complete naming con-
sistency is assured. However, this level of simplicity is probably only fea-
sible at a fixed installation where all the shows use the same source names.
When multiple names are created, try to keep the first four characters
unique, and make different names for the same source similar for ease of
recognition.
Source Patching and Effects Portability
Source patching makes it possible to build effects on a GV Switcher system
in one facility or truck, and then use those effects on a different system at
another facility that has different Engineering source configurations.
Building a Source Patch table prior to effects creation simplifies the migra-
tion of effects between facilities.
Plan out the sources you will use for a show, even ones that may not exist
on the system where you are creating the effects. Build a list of Logical
sources in the Source Patch menu without regard to the currently associ-
ated Engineering sources. After the list is built, map one of the facility’s
existing Engineering sources to each Logical source. If physical devices
don't exist for some planned sources, substitute a dummy Engineering
source. You can then build your effects and verify that they run properly.
When you are satisfied with the effects, save the Suite Prefs and E-MEM
