6.10 diamond - Bus Assign
Once a source is assigned to the surface, it can be routed to any of the available summing
buses.
The list of available summing buses is defined by the configuration. Up to 32 buses are
supported, where
each one can be
mono, stereo or 5.1. The configuration defines the name of each bus plus whether the bus can be assigned pre or post-
fader, or post-fader only; and which page the bus assignment is made from.
Up to eight bus assign pages can be configured, where each page can access up to four buses.
From each source, the operator can adjust:
Bus assign on/off.
Bus assign pre/post (if the bus is configured for pre or post-fader assignments).
Bus send level -
from
-120dB to +9dB.
Operation
The standard configuration defines 8 stereo summing buses and two bus assign pages: PGM and Aux.
Page 1 (PGM) - handles the assignments to the four main buses: PGM 1 to 3 & REC.
Page 2 (Aux) - handles the assignments to the four auxiliary buses: Aux 1 to 4.
The assignments can be either pre- or post-fader for Aux 1 to 4, and post-fader only for PGM 1 to 3 & REC.
The 'Channel Strip' page (on the GUI) provides the best overview of the current assignments. Note that this page is for
information only; you cannot edit the bus assignments from here.
To edit the assignments, you can use either the surface or 'Source Parameter' dialog box as follows.
On the surface...
1.
From
the central controls, press
Bus
and
select a page (e.g.
1
).
The upper controls on each fader strip switch into "bus assign" mode. The four soft key labels show the name of the
available buses. If a soft key has no label, then there is no bus allocated (in the configuration).
The soft key colors show the assignment status:
Dim white = source is not assigned (off).
Yellow = source is assigned (post-fader).
Red = source is assigned (pre-fader).
At any time, you can select a different page to access more assignments. If a page key is unlit, then there are no buses
allocated to the page (in the configuration).
