The Shared Functions page allows adding and editing the so-called shared
functions. Currently the following shared functions are available:
• Generator (D950/Vista)
• Dynamics sidechain link (D950/Vista)
• Fader (Router)
• Extended Fader (Router)
• Tieline (Router)
• Mixer (Router)
• Stereo to Mono (Router)
• Delay 240 ms (Router)
• 4-Band EQ (Router)
• Dynamics (Router)
• Dynamics Stereo (Router)
The router functions are only accessible for expert users.
Generator The Generator is used to test the console with sine-wave, white noise, and
pink noise signals. The number is automatically set to 1.
The dynamics sidechain link allows to link the controls (sidechains) of the
dynamics sections of up to eight different channels. It is similar to the "ste-
reo link" function found on many standalone compressor/limiters, but the
number of linkable channels has been set to eight rather than only two, so
that all current surround formats can be supported. The dynamics side-
chain link requires DSP power, so the number is best set to the required
minimum. The default number is zero, and the number can be set freely.
Tieline Virtual Patch point.
Audio functions have the same functionality as their corresponding chan-
nel functions.
To Edit To edit the numbers of shared functions go to the VMC Tree View.
Most of the functions of the Session Configuration Tool are controlled
directly from the four View pages as described in the previous chapters.
There are, nevertheless, some functions that are accessible only via the
menus. The following descriptions briefly explain all the menu items, and
only go into details for functions not explained in the previous chapters.
48 Set sampling frequency to 48 kHz.
96 Set sampling frequency to 96 kHz.
