24 HYDRA2 Operator Manual
Using H20
A full port list is shown in the table 
beneath the box details, where user 
defined port labels and descriptions 
can be entered. The order the ports are 
displayed in can be changed by clicking 
on the column headers at the top of the 
table.
After editing box or port information, 
click APPLY CHANGES or CANCEL 
CHANGES at the bottom of the table for 
the new information to take affect or be 
discarded.
On applying the changes, the updated 
information is passed on to all consoles on 
the network. Each console will display the 
updated information unless it has already 
been edited from the default values on the 
console PC itself, in which case, the local 
custom labels take precedence.
Note, up to 20 characters can be entered 
as port labels. All 20 characters are visible 
in H2O, and on each console interface, 
however, console control surface displays 
have limited text fields; fader displays only 
show the first 10 characters of a port label 
and Apollo/Artemis TFT meter labels will 
show 14.
Individual input ports can be protected 
within this screen using the right hand 
“Protected” check box column. This is 
useful if the network administrator wishes 
extra care to be taken over accessing 
individual ports’ Mic Gain, 48 V and SRC 
controls. For more information see the 
Port Protection sections of the Apollo, 
Artemis or Summa Operator/User 
manuals.
