Individual Input Ownership

One of three options will be displayed when an input is selected on a device, depending on the
current ownership state. These options are Own, Take and Release:
Unowned inputs have a press
and hold Own button and
show there is no owner

Console Routing and Input Ownership

When an SSL console makes routes from a stagebox mic input to a console channel, the console will
automatically become the owner of any unowned inputs. If an input is owned by a different
controller then routing will not automatically take ownership, Take ownership will need to be
performed if input control is required on this device. Note that the audio route will still be made
regardless of whether ownership is assigned.
When an SSL console unloads a showfile (as happens when a new showfile is loaded or the console
is powered down), routes are unmade. Unmaking routes for mic inputs automatically releases
ownership, leaving them unowned for the next use. Ownership status is stored on the device, for all
controllers on the distributed network to take account of.
If a stagebox is unreachable (e.g. it has been powered off) when the console showfile is unloaded
then the stagebox storage of ownership will persist. If the stagebox is to be used on the same
console (or set of consoles with the same showfiles) on next use, this persistence of ownership will
not matter. If the stagebox is to be used on a different console, ownership will need to be cleared
using Reset I/O Settings from console software or Net I/O Controller, or the hardware reset option
detailed in Status and Reset.
Ownership from Network I/O Controller is manually controlled. Network I/O Controller does not
manage Dante routing, this is done with Dante Controller.
Inputs owned by another controller have a
press and hold Take button. The current
owner is displayed in the Ownership
window of the Focus View.
Inputs owned by this controller
have a press and hold Release
button and show this console as
the owner
Only mic inputs owned by this
device have a fader cap and
can be controlled
