Page 27: Chapter 1: Fusion Anatomy
Chapter 1: Fusion Anatomy The Fusion modular control surface is more than a just console — it is a complete studio system, with various components that serve different functions. This chapter gives an overview of the different components to help familiarize you;. The following chapters will build on this familiarity as we dive deeper into Fusion’s features and capabilities.

6-pin Molex connector to supply the console with 48v power. CAN4ETH Underneath the overbridge of the Fusion surface is the board that links the console modules to the main CPU of either your StudioEngine or PowerStation. The surface uses CANBus (Control Area Network) as a common interface for modules, then links the surface’s mixing modules to its associated CPU via an Ethernet link.
Page 32: Fusion Power Supply
AC mains power input. Console Modules The Fusion surface is a mixing desk of modular design. The composition of the surface consists of a console frame (which is available in multiple sizes), and an assortment of modules to suit your operational requirements.
Page 33: Chapter 2: Configuration Basics
Chapter 2: Configuration Basics In this chapter, we look past the Quickstart to some of the powerful tools available to you with your Fusion console — such as choosing and modifying Source Profiles, Show Profiles, and other essentials. Let’s dive in! Working With Profiles A standard console configuration step is defining the sources that will be used on the console.
Page 34 With that, connect a computer to your Fusion’s StudioEngine or PowerStation, type its IP address into your Web browser, and follow along. To get started, select the Sources link, as shown here: Once you’ve done this, you’ll see any sources that have already been configured, as well as to “Create new source profile”...

Page 37: Create A Guest Mic Source Profile
The “CR guest” source type is intended for microphones located at guest positions within the same control room as the Fusion surface. The built-in logic functions will mute the CR monitors when the source is turned on, and provide GPIO logic for an optional Guest Control Panel that uses GPIO to remotely control Channel ON/OFF/ MUTE and Talkback functions.
Page 38: Other Helpful Options: Knob Function
CR producer is intended for a Show Producer’s mic loated in the same studio as the mixing console, so its GPIO logic functions mute the CR monitors, and specialized GPIO functionality permits the producer to talk (using Backfeeds, Axia’s name for internal foldback, or IFB) to any source with a Backfeed that is assigned to the Preview (cue) channel.

What’s Next In the next chapter, we’ll learn about the use of Fusion’s powerful Virtual Mixer (VMix) capabilities, which allow you to create custom mixes of networked sources and use them like you would a single audio source. We’ll also look at Virtual Mode (VMode) functions, which allows you to manipulate incoming sources in many useful ways.

You want to create a two channel recording with independent content and gain control for each channel different from Program 1 of the Fusion console. This single stream will be recorded on a stereo recorder. You can construct a custom VMode stream to satisfy this requirement, like so: The resulting Livewire 2-channel output would have the Left side of AUX A on the Left and Left side of AUX B on the Right.

The default option in the drop down is Auto (Program 1 / Phone) which is another special behavior in Axia consoles that allows for automatic switching of the mix-minus based on the On state of the channel . When the channel where the codec source type is loaded is in the Off state, the mix-minus will be the Phone mix.

Appendix F New Features Version 3.2 adds new features to the Fusion console and those features are noted in this Appendix. • Add Automix Feature. • Add support for Fader Accessary Panel • AES67/SIP support Automix Within the Show Profile options is Automix. The page provides a view of all the channels on the console (including virtual faders) and allows for enabling that channel to participate in the Automix.
Page 138 Rotate the knob to highlight the Automix and press to select and access the view of option. The Fusion video display will show the channel settings and the global settings. Use the knobs associated with the Master module to select the settings and adjust.
Page 139: Fader Accessory Panel
Fader Accessory Panel The Fader Accessory Panel interconnects to the Fusion console interface board under the overbridge through the CANBUS. On the underside is a multi-select switch which addresses the module on the bus. Make sure each module has a unique ID (0 through E) before installing.
