Channel Direct Outputs

The Direct Out can be routed by Channel to any output of the HDTDM or XDTDM bus. The Direct Out can be sent
Pre or Post Fader. Click on the DO: Post box in the Mixer I/O section to toggle. The Direct Out is currently always

Highlight the required channel. This will be fed to the logical output assigned in the Mixer Route page or by click-
ing on the DO XLR icon in the Mix page.
Although there can be any number of Input Strips and Buses from 1 to 64 in HDTDM or 1 to 128 in XDTDM , there
is a limitation on the number of Direct Out connections: The sum of the Direct Out connections PLUS all Buses
channels can not exceed 64 in HDTDM or 128 in XDTDM .
