FIGURE 1 - HYDRA PATCHBAY OPERATIONPort SharingSource and destination protection works as normal when dealing with HPBs for both console and H2O users. Insituations when two or more consoles are using the same feed from a HPB it is possible for one console to change thepatching of the other by changing the I/O box port which is feeding the shared Hydra patchbay input, either through amemory load, or through changing the individual patch. In these circumstances it is important that you understand thecontents of the source and destination protection pop-up before accepting any changes, as these changes directly affectother network users.To create a fully flexible system, you can change the source feeding an HPB, which is also feeding other consoles.However, we advise that all I/O box port to Hydra patchbay input patching is controlled from H2O or a third partycontroller to avoid unwanted changes to other consoles’ source feeds.FIGURE 2 - HYDRA PATCHBAY PATCH CHANGE40 SUMMA Networked Audio Production System SYSTEM OVERVIEW
