Working With Signal Paths
Externals
Externals are used to provide additional direct inputs to the Surround Monitoring System from up to three tape
machines (or other direct sources).
Each External machine can provide up to 24 inputs, giving a maximum of 72 Externals. The number of inputs
from each external device is specified as part of the Desk Setup in the Config page of Desk Edit.
The default path names for Externals are EX1, EX2, EX3, etc.
Externals can be assigned to the console surface, although this is not necessary for their operation.
They must be connected (port routed, patched) to an Input Port. This is achieved using I/O Patching (page
24:14).
The Externals are selected for monitoring using the STEM SEL and SUBMIXER sections of the Surround
Monitoring panel. This is described in the Surround Sound Panel chapter (page 9:1).
Films
Films are only used if the optional Surround Sound Panel is installed.
Film paths are used by the Surround Monitoring system as outputs to the monitoring speakers.
Films can be assigned to the console surface, although this is not necessary for their operation.
The number of Film paths determines which speaker keys are available on the Surround Monitoring panel. The
selection of Film paths made in Desk Edit and the speakers keys that become available are as follows:
Desk Edit Selection
None
LCRS
5.1
6.1
7.1
The number of Films also determines the number of Film Listens.
The default path names for Films are FLM1 to FLM8.
Films must be routed to the outputs to the monitoring speakers with I/O Patching.
Press the SEL STEM key in the upper channel strip to shows all the available stems. Each press will advance
through the stems and it is possible to route to individual tracks contained within that stem using the numbered
keys in the routing array.
