Phone Channel Operation
The Phone Channel profile is used, naturally, for tele-
phone hybrid audio sources. Each Phone Channel has its
own discrete Feed-to-Source mix-minus output.
Each Element can accomodate as many unique, au-
tomatically-generated mix-minus feeds as it has faders.
If the Feed-to-Source mode is set to "Auto" (the most
common option - see Chapter Two, "Configuring In-
puts," for the section entitled "Source Profile Options"),
phone callers hear the output of the
nus himself, when the the channels they're assigned to

When a Phone Channel has been assigned to an
Element fader, the Status Symbol display located above
the channel name will display an icon to show the board
operator what is being fed to the caller.
Phone feed-to-source outputs can also be locked to

Profile for your hybrid. This automatic switching mode
makes it very easy to prep callers and then seamlessly
put them on the air with a minimum of button pushes.

Codec Channel Operation
The Codec Channel is used for codec sources. Like
the Phone Channel, each codec source is brought up on
its own channel, and an individual Feed-to-Source (mix
minus) output is provided for each codec. Codec Chan-
nels can be turned on and off remotely and provide on/
