WING RACK Overview
METERS
The METERS screen displays level meters and mute status for all the signal paths on the console. The level meters are grouped accordingly: 40 input channels, 8 aux
channels, 16 (auxiliary) buses, 16 DCAs, 4 main buses and 8 matrix buses. This screen also offers a fast shortcut to zooming into any of the above groups of channels for
control or editing, by just touching it.
ROUTING
WING allows for flexible routing options: every source can be routed to every channel or physical output. The patching of sources and outputs is configured on the
ROUTING screen.
The same edits can alternatively be made on each channel's INPUT section within the HOME screen.
Channels
Three buttons on the top right-hand corner of the screen select the channels, physical inputs, or outputs for editing. The first button controls the
channel configuration.
The "CHANNEL INPUT" menu controls whether the channel's main or alternate input will be configured. This follows the concept of an inline console, where a single
channel can have two inputs permanently patched and switched according to the user's needs.
Before editing, the unlock icon must be clicked on. When lit green, editing is available. When lit red, editing is blocked.
The left half of the screen will display the 40 input channels and 8 aux buses. The right half of the screen will display the available sources that can be routed to the
channels on the left.
After clicking on the desired channel, the source that drives that channel may be chosen on the right half of the screen. By clicking on the dropdown menu "SOURCE
GROUP", you may choose between the following physical sources on the console's rear panel or buses:
• • LOCAL IN: 24 physical microphone or line inputs.
• • AES/EBU IN: two digital AES/EBU inputs.
• • AES50A/AES50B/AES50C: three AES50 ports.
• • USB AUDIO: the console can be used as an USB interface with 48 input and output channels.
• • EXP CARD: up to 64 inputs depending on the expansion cards installed.
• • MODULE: up to 64 inputs via DANTE and SoundGrid cards are available.
• • BUS: each of the 16 buses (stereo).
• • MAIN: each of the 4 main buses (stereo).
• • MATRIX: each of the 8 matrix buses (stereo).
• • OSCILLATOR: two white noise, pink noise, or sine wave oscillators.
• • STAGE CONNECT: 32 digital audio channels at 48kHz and 24 bits via the XLR connector.
• • USB PLAYER: 4 channels from the USB player (Type A port) on the front panel. Files must be uncompressed .wav audio.
• • USER SIGNAL: signals that can be derived from different points in the signal flow of input channels, buses, main buses or matrix buses, or repatched sources
through any of the 24 user patches.
When patching multiple adjacent channels, clicking on the "+1 AUTO" button automatically selects the following console channel for a quicker input assignment.
To clear a channel's input, click on "NONE".
The mono, stereo or mid-side configuration of each channel can be configured via the M, ST and M/S buttons.
