Matrixing System; The Audio Input Routing Window - Sony DMX-R100 Quick Reference

Matrixing System

The two most important screens for configuring your DMX-R100 are the Input Routing and Output Routing
windows. These allow you access to the console's comprehensive matrixing system, which enables you to
determine the signal flow for literally all input or output connections on the rear panel. Using these windows,
any of the DMX-R100 physical inputs and outputs can be reutilized in any way you like.

The Audio Input Routing Window

The following input signals are available in the Audio Input Routing window:
24 AD inputs (the connections to the 24 analog head amplifiers)
All card slot inputs (up to 32 digital and/or analog inputs, if cards are installed in all four slots*)
Aux Returns 1 - 8 (4 analog and 4 digital)
In the "MISC" (Miscellaneous) block:
2 analog 2-track inputs (2TR 1)and 2 digital 2-track inputs (2TR 2)
The onboard talkback microphone
NC (No Connection) - used to disable an input channel
Any of these can be assigned to:
Any of the 48 fader channels
Any of the 8 Aux Return channels
Any of the 8 "floating" bus Insert returns**
Any of the 6 External monitor inputs***
Note that the same input can be multed without restriction; that is, the same physical input signal can be
assigned to multiple channels and/or Insert returns and External monitor inputs. Audio input routing settings
are saved with the Snapshot.
* If a DMBK-R109 MADI card is installed,48 inputs are displayed for that one slot, and you can select any of them.
For more information, see Appendix E in this guidebook.
