Assigned Area Indicator – When a channel has been made available in an area (or all areas) a

number will show which area the channel is assigned to.

Assigned to this Area Highlight – To make a channel available in an area, click on the channel in

the display and it will be highlighted in orange.

Assignment Options – There are 3 options available which are only available if the first one is

active:

• Prevent Assignment to Multiple Areas – if this option is selected, channels can only be made

available in one area.

 NOTE: If channels are already assigned to areas, activating this option will remove all channels

that haven’t already been selected as being assignable to a particular area.

It is recommended that channels are assigned to be available in the required areas before this option

is activated

• Reset Bussing on Area Change – if this option is available (prevent Assignment to Multiple Areas

is active) and set, changing the area assignment of a channel will reset all of its buss routes to default

settings. This avoids channels that are routed to busses in one area retaining that buss routing when

the channel is moved to another area.

• Set Area Safes on Area Change - if this option is available (prevent Assignment to Multiple Areas

is active) and set, changing the area assignment of a channel will set relevant Snapshot Area Safes

accordingly.

Eg If a channel is made available in Area 2, it will automatically be made safe from snapshot recall

in Areas 1, 2 and 3.

9.7 Audio / I/O Settings

These tabs display information on the fitted card in the DMI and A3232 Ports and gives access to any

relevant options.

See Appendix D for module specific information.

 Note that DMI Cards and SD Rack (Local) cards must not be “hot swapped” – to insert or remove cards,

please power down the 4REA4 Unit first

 Note that clock, redundancy and other options for the Dante and Waves DMI cards are accessed by the

Audinate and Waves software respectively. Access to these settings is not provided by the 4REA4 interface.

9.8 Audio / Audio Sync

Use the Audio Sync page to set the audio clock options for the system.

Audio Clock Source – Select the clock source for the 4REA4 system. Set to Internal (96kHz) to use

the internal audio clock, this is the default setting. Set to a DMI Port to sync from an audio networking card,

or Engine Ext BNC to sync from a 96kHz Wordclock provided at the BNC input of the 4REA4.

 When linking two or multiple systems together using audio networking cards, the ‘Master’ system

(typically the one that has control over the preamps) is set to Internal and all other systems are set to sync

from the relevant I/O Port.

 Only sync from 96kHz sources.
