7-6 A/B Desk Configuration
Aliases allow snapshots to be recalled either on different consoles or on both
desks of an A/B Desk mode system.
Since Aliases are saved within a snapshot, logical inputs are no longer ref-
erenced by their IDs (LogInput ID #1...255) but by the means of the Alias
instead. Therefore the Alias is used when
• recalling an input routing snapshot
• recalling an audio snapshot
The following example illustrates the advantage of the Alias in a A/B Desk
mode system.
Label Alias
DJ Mic Input1
CR Mic 1 Input 2
Input 3
Input 4
CD Input 5
DIGI 1 Input 6
DIGI 2 Input 7
DIGI 3 Input 8
Without Alias, a snapshot created on the primary desk cannot be recalled on
the secondary desk, since the audio settings and the strip assignment for the
DJ mic will always be associated with LogInput ID #1.
According to the desk resource definition, the secondary desk of an A/B Desk
Mode system has no LogInput ID #1.
Using Aliases the snapshot data are associated with the Alias. Audio settings
and the strip assignment for the DJ Mic will be associated with Input1 (Pri-
mary Desk: LogInput ID #1 / Secondary Desk: LogInput ID #101).
If snapshots will never be exchanged between different consoles or between
the primary and secondary desks, Aliases do not have to be changed during
configuration since the system will do a default initialization.
