or "CD 1".
In the Primary Source field, enter the input's Channel Number, either by typing it in or using the
Browse button to the right of the field to select the source from your network's source list.
Now click the OK button at the bottom of the screen; your CD player is configured and ready to be
assigned to a fader.
Note the example we show has the "External" box checked in the Source Availability section.
Doing this allows the board op to assign the CD player to the monitors for direct auditioning.
A more practical application for this option is when creating a Source Profile for an Air Monitor, so
that talent can directly monitor the over-the-air broadcast signal. To do this, you'd create a Line
source type for the air monitor receiver, and uncheck all the Channel availability boxes except the
External. This way, the over-the-air signal can feed the monitors — but not be assigned to a fader
and sent back to the transmitter! An easy method to do this is to select the All Channels twice
which will unselect all 64 channels with the second click.
Another check box that's useful for Line source types is the one marked GPIO ready enabled.
This controls the OFF lamp on the fader strip that the source is assigned to. Some operation
practices require an indication of source readiness; when this box is checked, the fader's OFF
lamp will only illuminate when the device provides a "ready" logic state.
Many professional CD players provide GPIO closures for such states, as well as most modern
Automation systems, but make certain that you understand this feature prior to enabling and, that
your device really does support a "Ready" indication. If it doesn't, your operators may think the
OFF lamp is broken because it never illuminates!
