This section selects the active digital inputs and outputs, as well as the formats for each:
Input Settings (input adat or spdif): When adat is selected, the digital input channels on the mixer page will appear as ADAT inputs 1
<

When spdif input is selected, the digital input channels on the mixer page will appear as spdif inputs L and R. The spdif input port option

Monitoring Settings Sub-Window (monitoring settings)
Disable ASIO Direct Monitoring Setting (disable ASIO monitoring): When this box is checked, the ProjectMix I/O will ignore any ASIO
<
direct monitoring commands received from the host audio application. This allows you to manually create a monitor mix in the mixer
page which will not be affected by changes in the audio software's settings. (This option is for PC users only.)
A/B Switch Function Settings (a/b switch function): The following two radio buttons determine the function of the A/B switch on the
<
ProjectMix I/O surface:
• direct monitoring: The A/B switch will toggle the mute status of all the ProjectMix I/O audio inputs on and off.
• headphone out 1 A/B: Toggles the source of headphone output 1 between two selectable audio streams (labeled A and B). To
select these A and B audio sources, click the set source button in the right of the text field. Another window will open, allowing you
to select from one of three sources for each of the A and B states: analog output 1/2, analog output 3/4, or aux bus. The aux bus
selection is useful for creating a unique headphone mix.
