4-12 Chapter 4 Signal PathsChapter 4 Signal Paths4-9 Broadcast ModeGeneralIn ‘Broadcast Mode’ the operator is able simultaneously to:a) Mix individual inputs to the Main Output Busandb) Record a multitrack backup as a parallel operation.The multitrack output can be monitored separately via a stereo busaccessed by the External Source Selector in the Monitor panel in the centresection of the console.Setting upAt the Input Channel & Inserts panel, set the channel path as for Mix-down. Although a signal will be recorded to the multitrack, MULTIshould not be selected in any of the 8 channel path windows. Select {MIC}or {LINE} and make sure {MAIN} is selected, at the Routing panel, for eachchannel required to feed the Main Output bus. Cross patch input sourcesvia the LCD screens above the Channels sections.(Refer to Chapter 5, Control Screens for further details).To send the signal for each channel to the Multitrack as well as to the Mixbus:1. Press the {ACCESS} button on the first channel to be routed. Route tothe track required using the Routing panel.2. On the Multitrack panel, toggle the { + } and { - } buttons either side ofthe window labelled SOURCE, below the Group Trim knob, until thedesired source point is displayed. This can be taken from any of the 10junctions within the signal path displayed on the Input Channel &Inserts panel. The source point for the multitrack feed will be takenfrom directly after the process displayed in the SOURCE window.In the first diagram, CH INPUT is shown in the SOURCE window,enabling a ‘clean’ line level signal to be sent from a point immediatelyfollowing the input stage.In the second diagram, CH OUTPUT is shown in the SOURCE window,enabling a signal to be sent which includes the effects of all selectedprocessing and adjustments made on the channel fader.Further ExamplesWith EQ selected in the SOURCE window, the feed to the multitrackwould be affected by the high and low pass filters (FILTER), dynamicssection (DYN) and the equaliser section (EQ), but not by the INSERTprocessing. If FILTER was the source, then just filters would affect thesignal and so on. All processes affect the mix feeding the Main Outputbus.4-9 Broadcast Mode
