Once the VDIP form is open, click on the SIGNAL button to change the VDIP
mode from the default global to per source, and then scroll through the INPUT
SIGNAL LIST until you highlight and double click the name of the audio source
(the mic signal) you wish to activate the muting. The source name should appear
in the SIGNAL window. Click on the CR Mute check box and hit the APPLY
button. The control surface has now been programmed to automatically mute the
control room output signal whenever any fader channel that has the mic signal
routed to it is turned ON. A caveat: this feature does not actually mute the speakers,
but only mutes the control room output signal. If, as is normal, you have connected
the speakers to an amplifier whose input is connected to the control room output
signal, this feature will work as expected; however, if for some reason the speakers
are connected to some other output signal, they will not be muted.
Repeat the process for any other mic signals that could cause feedback with the
control room speakers.
In similar fashion you can activate any of the other VDIP functions as you see
fit. Some of these, such as the mutes and tallys, may need to be set on a per signal
basis, while others, such as Timer Restart or PFL/Cue Drop Out, are better suited
to the default Global (i.e. for any signal) setting.
