DF64 via ethernet and the EuCon Hub; audio does not pass through the control surface. The Max Air control surface consists of a CM404 center section with Touchscreen (1), Super Channel (4), Soft Knobs (2) and 8 center section faders (3). The channel strips (5), of which there can be a total of 48 (3 CM416 modules), contain a function select area (6), four assignable knobs (7) and a fader (8).
Page 22: Additional Hardware Components
A Channel performs all of the signal processing (EQ, dynamics, routing, gain, etc.). Max Air has 96 channels, each of which may be assigned to a Strip. A Strip has room for Swap and Main channels that can be switched with one button press.

This is the preferred way of making “Stereo” (or two-channel) channels on the Max Air system. By placing two logical channels under control of a MF Master, you are in effect making a “Stereo Channel” with all functionality that a Stereo Channel needs: Balance Control, Left-to-Mono/Right-to-Mono/Both-to-Mono, a Stereo EQ, true Stereo-linked Dynamics, and stereo metering.

Page 104: Pan
Channels and Strips 5.3.5 Max Air is not limited to a single pan format and one pan control per channel imposed by the traditional analog console. Max Air allows the following pan formats (also called pan laws): mono, stereo, LCRS, 5.1, 6.1, and 7.1. The limit is 32 multi-format main sec- tions each with up to eight busses.
Page 105 SmartPan The Max Air panner has an automatic function called SmartPan that prevents the disap- pearance of the audio signal during panning if some of that Main Section’s busses are not assigned. For example, if a channel is assigned to a 5.1 Main Section output but does not send anything to the center Main bus, SmartPan automatically uses a stereo pan law so the signal is still present when panned to the center.

When the switcher goes to a different source, the camera’s audio automatically fades down.
Page 178 Euphonix Max Air Mixing Console Operation Manual Event System To achieve this, several programming steps are involved: A separate Snapshot must be created for each camera fader’s on and off position. A separate Scene must be created for each Snapshot. This enables the user to enter a glide time.
