You can also remove all assigned relays from the list by clicking on the
Remove all outputs button.
 Tip For a typical stereo source, such as a CD player, the same relay should be
configured for both the left and the right signal part, as shown in the example
above for D1 (relay cd1) and D2 (relay cd2). This action ensures that the CD
player will start even if it is connected to two Mono Input Channels, and only
one of the faders is opened.
Generally, Red Light Outputs are relays installed within the Monitoring
frame. Only one relay is normally used for the global Red Light Signaling,
but several relays can be configured independently if more than one Studio
exists.
The Trigger conditions for a Red Light relay to be activated are fixed to the
following:
• A Source configured for Red Light is patched to a Channel, and
• The Input Channel Input Selector is set to the above Source, and
• The Input Channel Fader is open, and
• The Input Channel ON (MUTE) is open, and
• The Input Channel is routed to at least one Master Bus, and
• The Master Channel Input Selector is set to the above Source, and
• The Master Channel Fader is open, and
• The Master Channel ON (MUTE) is open.
In other words, the audio signal has a fully open path from the Source to the
Master Channel output. If an Input Channel is routed to a group only, then the
Group has to be routed to a Master, etc., to fulfill the Trigger conditions.
Multiple sources are usually configured to one single relay – they form a logi-
cal OR. For instance, all Mic Inputs from the same room would be configured
to the same Red Light relay.
There are four steps in the Red Light Configuration:
1. To configure the Red Light, first select a source in the Red Light List;
2. You can then add or remove a relay to/from this source in the Red Light Edit
window.
