to the stereo busses is carried out by dedicated keys

Routing

Use the ROUTING screens to set up the routing of input
sources to modules, etc. as well as to set outputs.
There are four of these screens: one for
, one for the
OUTPUT OUTPUT SLOT
INSERTS .

Input routing

The screen allows you to select input sources
INPUT
from a list composed of (mainly) the physical inputs
of the DM-4800, and route them to input destinations
(channels and dynamics triggers).

encoder.
The input sources are as follows, as listed at
the lower right of the screen (
Routing inputs):
M/L Mic/line input channels (see "Mic/line
connections" on page 49).
TDIF1/TDIF2/ The three built-in TDIF 8-channel input ports (see
TDIF3 "TDIF I/O" on page 50).
ADAT The eight optical "lightpipe" inputs (see"ADAT
"lightpipe" OUT & IN" on page 50).
DIN The two stereo digital inputs (see "Digital inputs
and outputs" on page 50).

between mixer sections, as well as the setting up of
the "soft" inserts, is done in the

NOTE
Assignment of channels to busses is done by means of the
buss keys to the left of the display, or by means of the
ASSIGN screens (use the ASSIGN key here).
ASN RTN The eight analog assignable returns (see "Analog
inputs" on page 33).
EFF RTN The internal effect returns (see "Insert patching"
on page 61).
2TRIN The 2-track master recorder inputs (see "2 TR IN"
on page 49).
OSC Internal oscillator
SLOT1/SLOT2/ The inputs provided by any cards fitted to the
SLOT3/SLOT4 slots (see "Slot card configuration" on page 52
for details).
LOOPBACK Explained below ("Loopback options" on
options page 60).
Table 4.2: Input sources (Continued)
2 Select the destination layer of these input
sources by using the POD 3 encoder (
ure 4.1, Routing inputs). Choose between:
CH 1-16 Channel modules 1 through 16
CH 17-32 Channel modules 17 through 32
CH 33-48 Channel modules 33 through 48
CH 49-64 Channel modules 49 through 64
DYN TRIGGER The eight dynamics processor triggers also
described in "Trigger settings" on page 78

Table 4.3: Destination layers

If either of the first two options is selected,
each destination module is shown in the list
with an INP (input) and
for routing selection. Channels 49 through 64
only present the input (though this has only
the capabilities of returns in other channels).
3 Use the cursor keys to select the source field
(either the input or return in the case of chan-
nels 1 through 48), and use the wheel to select
