Inputs 
Press the [Inputs] MFK or select the [Inputs] button on the monitor. The various options are shown on the MFKs and monitor. These are summarised below: 
Figure 36 - Desk Setup (Inputs) 
  SMPTE  Timecode  –  Enables  the  reception  of  SMPTE  timecode  at  all 
supported frame rates (24, 25, 30 Frames per Second). 
  MIDI Timecode – Enables the reception of MIDI timecode at all supported 
frame rates (24, 25, 30 Frames per Second). 
  CAN – Disabled, iCAN or Chillinet. 
Note –CAN functionality is not implemented in Version 7 software 
  MIDI Notes – Defines which part of the desk the MIDI Notes can control. 
Options are Channels, Submasters or Memories, together with settings for 
which MIDI Channel and Octave to respond to. 
  Remote Switches – Each of the six remote switches can be configured 
as Disabled, GO, Go to Memory or Macro. If the action field is set to Go to 
Memory  or  Macro,  then  an  additional  field  is  displayed  allowing  you  to 
enter the memory or macro number 
  Submasters – Using these settings it is possible to define the maximum 
number of submasters per page, upto 30.  Each Submaster can then be 
mapped to a DMX In channel, perhaps from another fader desk.  
Tip:  You  can  use  an  additional  DMX  Output  universe  to  ‘map’  preset 
faders to  additional submasters if  required.  Using a short DMX cable, 
link the output DMX Universe to the DMX In port.  Repatch the channel 
faders  to  this  universe,  and  map  them  in  Desk  Setup  /  Inputs  to 
Submasters. 
Note – SMPTE, MIDI, CAN and Remote Switches 
These  input  functions  are only applicable  if  the  optional upgrade card 
has been fitted to the Solution & Solution XL desk.
