4 – Routing & assignment : Monitoring

However, these assignments can be changed using the MONITOR screen:

Figure 4.10: Monitor parameters screen

Move the cursor to the selection dial of any of the three selectors, use the dial to select the source, and press ENTER.

The sources that may be selected for these monitor selectors are:

•The eight aux sends

•The four linked pairs of aux sends

•The sixteen busses

•The eight link buss pairs

•The two digital stereo inputs

•The analog 2-track input

•Oscillator

TIP

The three assignable monitoring buttons are provided with “scribble strips” allowing you to mark the current functions with an appropriate marker.

The Follow LINK setting allows a stereo setting to be made from a mono source, by following the links between adjacent aux sends or busses.

When this checkbox is off, and an unlinked odd- numbered aux send or buss is selected as the monitor source, that source is output in mono from the moni- tor outputs.

When this checkbox is on, and a linked odd-num- bered aux send or buss is selected as the monitor source, that source is output from the left monitor channel, and the linked even-numbered aux send or buss is output from the right monitor channel.

When a linked pair of sends or busses is selected as the monitor source, this checkbox has no effect.

The volume of the analog output to the control room monitors is controlled using the dedicated CR vol- ume control.

The DIM “smart key” (see “Smart keys” on page 16) lowers the level from the control room outputs when active. The amount by which the level is dimmed is set from this screen using the POD 2 encoder .

NOTE

Monitoring in surround mode is a different process, best achieved through use of the optional IF-FW/DM surround monitor card.

Studio cue source

The studio source may be set up to mirror the control room source by selecting the From CONTROL ROOM option, or it may be set independently using the upper option.

Turn the dial and press ENTER to make the selection. The options available here are:

•The stereo buss

•The four linked pairs of aux sends

•The eight link buss pairs

•The two digital stereo inputs

•The analog 2-track input

•The internal oscillator

•The control room monitor

TIP

Since there are several options in the routing, etc. that only affect the aux 1–2 sends, we suggest that you use these as a separate studio cue feed.

The volume of the studio cue is adjusted from this screen using the POD 4 encoder.
