Assigning an Audio-only Source

An “audio-only source” is a source that is defined in the Input Set table but
has no entry in the video column.

Follow these steps to assign an audio-only source:

1.

Press the

Send

button

on the control panel. A valid audio-only source

will appear in the keypad window.

2.

Press a blank Preset button. The name of the audio-only source will
then appear in a PGM LCD button display.

When an audio-only source is selected on the Preset bus, it will replace the
audio from the “normal” (video+audio) source that is already assigned to
the Preset (PST) bus. The audio-only source will be identified by a low-
yellow tally. When the

Take

button is pressed, the audio-only source will

move to the Program (PGM) bus and will be identified by a low-red tally.

Note

The audio-only source will replace only the audio groups that are defined for
that source. Other audio groups (if present) will be muted. For example,
“Tone” could be defined with left and right audio in the “Stereo 1/2” group. If
a video source with “Stereo 1/2” and “Stereo 3/4” groups is presently
selected, and then “Tone” is selected, only the “Stereo 1/2” group will be
replaced by the audio from “Tone” and the “Stereo 3/4” audio group will be
muted.

Use the video breakaway option to select the video from a different source
without disturbing the currently-selected audio sources.
