Chapter 11: Matrix Mixers 115
Snapshots
All matrix settings, including Pan but excluding the stereo link
status, are stored and recalled with snapshots. The stereo link sta-
tus of Matrix outputs is not snapshottable.
Compatibility
Show files created in previous versions of software preserve all
mono matrix settings in working memory and snapshots. Loading
a Show file containing stereo-linked Matrixes in a previous ver-
sion of software preserves all data except Matrix output link sta-
tus.
Settings
You can copy and paste settings between mono and stereo Ma-
trixes, and use the Replace with Mix command, by right-clicking
on the Matrix and choosing
Copy, Paste, or Replace with Mix
from the menu.
Copy and Paste
Copy/paste only applies to output strip settings (fader, mute, po-
larity, delay, direct out). Mix parameters and mix sources are han-
dled separately.
Replace
You can use the right-click menu to Replace mixer settings be-
tween mono and stereo Matrixes.

Linking and Unlinking Adjacent Matrix
Inputs
Adjacent inputs to Matrix mixers can be linked or unlinked on a
per input pair basis. Link status can be specified on a per Matrix
basis (for example, inputs 1 and 2 can be linked for Matrix 1, but
unlinked for Matrix 2). This gives you the ability to control inputs
as either a stereo-linked pair or as independent mono inputs.
• When linked, level and source on/off controls are linked.
• When unlinked, discrete level and on/off controls affect
each individual channel.
Stereo inputs (such as stereo groups, Mains LR, and stereo-linked
auxes) are linked by default, such as after a Clear Console opera-
tion. Adjacent inputs can be linked or unlinked at any time, in
Config or Show mode.
To link or unlink inputs to Matrix mixers:
1 Go to the Outputs page and select a Matrix mixer to display
that Matrix on-screen.
2 Click the checkboxes below any adjacent inputs to link or un-
link them. A check mark in the checkbox indicates a linked in-
put source; an empty checkbox indicates unlinked sources.
Relinking and Offsets
When inputs are relinked, their level and on/off state will change
as follows:
Level Each channel maintains any offset between the two chan-
nels. This offset is not maintained if both linked controls are ad-
justed beyond their maximum or minimum.
On/Off Each channel maintains its discrete on/off state at the time
the sources are relinked. For example, if one channel is on and the
other is off the stereo input will maintain these settings after
relinking, thus providing a stereo source with one channel on, and
the other off. Toggling one channel from Off to On results in both
channels switching On; toggling one of the linked channels from
On to Off results in both channels switching Off.
