Channel Options
| option | description |
|---|---|
| Shared Channels On | • Allows the assignment of a fader channel to multiple physical faders at the console within the same Virtual Mixer. Accessible via Button List with function input select directly at the console. Note Minimum Firmware version is 8.2.3 / Toolbox8 version 8.2.2 . Note Requires License 52-8588 Shared Channels, must be enabled at <device> page, Options tab. Note The use of Shared Channels requires motorized faders. Note There is a hierarchy when controlling the same fader channel from different physical faders: The first fader which is touched is in control of the fader value, all other touched and moved faders will be ignored. When the first fader will be released, the second touched fader is in control. Important All configuration on the surface and TFT regarding channels that may be shared has to be done channel based, not fader based. Important Any external control (via the DHD External Control Protocol) like playout systems, need to operate on channel based commands. |
| Flash Channel Name when 'Ready' is 'On' | • When the Ready Signalisation Logic assigned to a fader channel becomes true, all appearances of the channel name (OLED Displays, Label Elements on TFT) will start flashing slowly. • Useful for e.g., playout systems or phone channels. |
| Extend Channel On when | • With this function a logic can be used to switch between Channel Start ON/OFF or Channel ON/OFF functionality. This function corresponds with the key functions Channel ON (Ext), Channel OFF (Ext) and Channel ON/OFF (Ext).• Click Select, the Logic window opens. Select a logic from the list and click Assign to assign a logic source that switches between the Channel ON/OFF functionality and Channel Start ON/OFF. See Key Functions - Channel Functions for more information about the different Channel ON/OFF functions |
