The audio level for each input can be individually set, via the front panel, the Ethernet link, or the RS-232 link, to ensure that the level on the output does not vary from input to input. See chapter 3, Operation, chapter 4, Programmer’s Guide, chapter 5, Switcher Software, and chapter 6, Ethernet Operation for details.
