With this in mind, the information below lists how the physical connectors relate to the
various mixers on different VP and VPx configurations. Keep this correlation in mind when
you are making rear-panel connections.
•In a 3 M/E system:
~M/E 1 connectors are the highest priority. They appear as Mixer 3 on
the Controller. The DSK will be connected to the M/E 1 board.
~M/E 2 connectors have middle priority. They appear as Mixer 2.
~M/E 3 connectors are the lowest priority. They appear as Mixer 1.
Background sources will be connected to the M/E 3 board.
•In a 2 M/E system:
~M/E 1 connectors are the highest priority, and appear as Mixer 2. The
DSK will be connected to the M/E 1 board.
~M/E 2 connectors are the lowest priority, and appear as Mixer 1.
Background sources will be connected to the M/E 2 board.
~M/E 3 connectors are not installed.
•In a 1 M/E system:
~M/E 1 connector priorities are relative to the connectors being used:
•The
DVI Input A or Analog Input A connector could be set up
as a Background input (lowest priority).
•The
DVI Input B or Analog Input B connector could be setup
as a DSK input (highest priority).
This leaves the other connectors to fall in between Background and
DSK. The rule stating that “A” connectors are lower in priority than “B”
connectors still holds.
~M/E 2 and 3 connectors are not installed.
