Machine Control
Film environments often require both operators to share control over the machines. A single synchronizer (such as a CB RM6 or
SoundMaster) can combine the machine control commands from two consoles.
Track Arming
Up to 48 tracks of a single machine can be track armed via MIDI or P2. The 48 mix busses are hard-mapped to the 48 tracks. To
support arming over multiple P2 machines (i.e., eight 6-track, six 8-track, or two 24-track machines), a third-party device is required
to distribute 48 tracks from one P2 port to multiple P2 ports. Contact Avid customer support for more information.
Solo-In-Place
Whenever a channel is in solo, any sources currently assigned to the monitors are temporarily removed (i.e., externals and returns).
The monitors automatically source the direct outputs from the console busses. When the channel is no longer in solo, the mon-
itors revert to their setup prior to the solo.
