Channel configuration controls
There are a number of input channel controls that are loosely termed ‘channel
configuration’ controls. These comprise:
• Input channel ID (GUI only): name and identification. Both the name and colour
of the name field are user-configurable. For details, see “Input channel ID (GUI
only)” on page 243.
• Input channel source (GUI only): shows where the input is routed (patched)
from, that is, the physical location the input channel is getting its audio from, and
provides direct access to the Patching screen. For details, see “Input channel
source select (GUI only)” on page 243.
• Gain swap: swaps what the rotary gain is controlling from remote (stage box) gain
to digital trim (console gain), and vice versa. For details, see “Mic amp input gain
(preliminary input processing)” on page 244.
• Stereo linking: links adjacent channel for stereo operation. For details, see “Stereo
linking (GUI only)” on page 243.
• Input channel direct output: routes signal path from a selected point to an I/O.
For details, see “Direct output” on page 248.
• Input channel safes: switches that protect specific controls from being changed by
the automation system. For details, see “Safes” on page 244.
• Gain and filter: mic amp gain and filter controls.
• Inserts: allows configuration of the send and return points when an insert is used.
• Input channel delay (GUI only): user-defined delay to be added to the input
signal processing. For details, see “Input channel delay (GUI only)” on page 243.
• Processing order: selects whether the EQ or the dynamics comes first in an input
channel’s signal path.
Their control is divided between control
surface and the GUI, although some are GUI
only. All of them are in the configuration
detail area, with the exception of the inserts,
which have their own detail area (see
Figure 22 “Detail areas available from the
input channel overview display” on
page 240).
