It is possible to reroute the channel/track assignments so that any
incoming channel of digital audio can be recorded onto any track, or
multiple tracks. This is done by first holding the [DIGITAL INPUT]
button and pressing any of the RECORD ENABLE buttons [1] – [8] to
select which source channels you wish to record (while holding the
[DIGITAL INPUT] button, the blue INPUT LEDs will light to indicate
the selected source channels; by default, all eight INPUT LEDs will be
lit). Then, after releasing the [DIGITAL INPUT] button, use the
RECORD ENABLE buttons to select the tracks you wish to record the
source channels onto (the INPUT LEDs return to their normal status).
• The selected source channels are re-routed to the record-enabled
destination tracks, in ascending order. Example: If source channels 1 and
5 are selected and tracks 3 and 4 are record enabled, then incoming audio
on channel 1 will be routed to track 3 and incoming audio on channel 5
will be routed to track 4.
• If more destination tracks are selected than source tracks, the
source tracks will repeat (cycle). Example: If tracks 7 and 8 were added
to the destination tracks of the previous example, then incoming track 1
would be routed to tracks 3 and 7 and incoming track 5 would be routed to
tracks 4 and 8. This scheme allows for copying a single incoming
channel to multiple tracks.
• If all 8 channels are selected as source tracks, no digital routing
will occur as this gives a one-to-one relationship (and is the power-on
default). If no source channels are selected, then digital silence will be
input to any record-enabled tracks.
Rerouting channels using DIGITAL INPUT on the front panel of the
XT20 will change any routing sent from the optional BRC Master
Remote Control, and these changes will not be shown on the BRC
