External Inputs; Creating External Inputs - Calrec SUMMA User Manual

EXTERNAL INPUTS

Summa has a pool of 152 mono external input resources from which you can create any combination of mono, stereo and
5.1 inputs, using one, two or six resources respectively. External inputs can be monitored and metered and are available
as patching destinations within the I/O patching window.
External inputs are typically used to monitor down-stream feeds or 'off-air' returns to ensure the console output is not
being compromised on its way to its intended destination.
To view the external inputs window, tap SHOW SETTINGS at the bottom of the Show menu, then tap EXTERNAL
INPUTS.

Creating External Inputs

Within the external inputs window, select one or more cells using one of the following options:
• Tap to select a single cell.
• Touch and drag to select multiple cells.
• Tap, then drag selection handles to select multiple cells.
... then tap NEW.
Select a path width from the pop-up—mono, stereo and 5.1—and your selected cells are populated with your choice.
Note, within the pop-up the number of remaining external input resources is displayed.
