Label	Individual Label, double-click on the label and change the current name.
Stereo	Indicates if the signal is mono or stereo.
Source	Shows the assigned audio/logic source for input and output.
Mute	Shows, that a Mute Logic is assigned to an output.

option	description
Type of Signal	Shows the general signal type of the port.
Enter Label	Enter a distinctive name for the selected input.
Level Adjust	Choose the headroom for each input from the corresponding drop-down menu. The shown values always refer to the devices internal default level of 0 dBint.
Select M/S	Select, if the signal is mono or stereo.
Sample Rate Converter	Select from the dropdown menu, if the sample rate converter is activated (`On`) or deactivated (`Off`) for this input.
Add to Input Pool	Select this check box to make this signal available for a channel on the console

The following sections are only available if Add to Input Pool is checked.

Fader Start

option	description
Fader Start Level	Select a level, which sets the fader start logic to on.
On Start	The fader start is only activated and deactivated by pushing the On/Off key, not by moving the fader.
Auto Off	By closing the fader, the channel is automatically switched `OFF` (`ON` key is deactivated).

Advanced

option	description
Timer Reset	If this check box is selected, opening this fader will reset and start the `Auto` timer of the stopwatch.

Channel Logics

option	description
Channel On Logic	Select a Logic Function from the `Logic Sources` window, which sets the channel to ON. You can choose, for example, a GPI to open a channel.
Channel Off Logic	Select a Logic Function from the `Logic Sources` window, which sets the channel to OFF. You can choose, for example, a GPI to close a channel.
Mute Condition Logic	Click `Source` to select a Logic source, that mutes the input, if the logic source becomes true.

Fader Function Logics

option	description
Activate Fader Function	Enable fader function for this channel. Default value is `off`. Fader Function correlates with key function `fader function` (See Console - Key Elements for more information). Fader function keys can serve as a logical source, e.g. for `Talk` purposes.
Lamp Source 1	• If you have assigned the `Fader Function` key function to a key of a fader module, here you can select a logic source which causes the LED of this key to light up. • The default logic source is the fader function of the selected fader channel itself (Fader Function/FF <Faderchname>). In this case, the key is lighting up when the fader function is active. • To change the logic source, click Select, the Logic Sources window opens. Select the desired logic source and click Assign. Alternatively, you can double-click on the logic source or drag the logic source to the Source box. • Examples: As talk key for clean feeds or as talk key for headphones, which are assigned to certain microphones (configuration via output functions), fader start on/off for play-out devices (configuration via logic function).
Lamp Source 2	• If you have assigned the `Fader Function` key function to a key of a fader module, here you can select a logic source which causes the LED of this key to light up. • To change the logic source, click Select, the Logic Sources window opens. Select the desired logic source and click Assign. Alternatively, you can double-click on the logic source or drag the logic source to the Source box. • If lamp source 1 is active, lamp source 2 will be ignored. If lamp source 1 is not active, lamp source 2 will be used.

Preamp Default Values

option	description
Analog Gain	Default value for analog gain. Note Some analog I/O cards do not provide all gain values
P48V	Turn Phantom Power On/Off by default

Mute Logics

option	description
Mute Logic 1,2	Here, you can define which mute logics are enabled when opening a fader. Mostly, this assignment is used to mute speakers when opening microphone channels. You can control up to two mute logics. To do this, select the corresponding check boxes. To assign a mute logic to an output select the mute logic checkbox at a selected output on this tab.

Selector Lists

option	description
Selector List 1	Select this check box to add this audio source to source list 1. This Source will be available in the monitor source list, which is assigned to the `SEL` key on 52-5614 central module.
Selector List 2	Select this check box to add this audio source to source list 2. This Source will be available for monitoring in the `Monitor 2` list, which is available on the `Monitor Selector` view of the TFT/Touch Display.
