SAM1-3GM and SAM1 MADI Combined User Handbook Version One Issue 1
2.6 Source Selection
Key to the ease of operation of SAM1 is the simplicity by which audio may be monitored and/or
mixed. SAM1 is equipped with a 10 pair / 20 channel mixer/monitor system that can be configured
with an entirely bespoke user setup and can be used in many diverse applications.
Setting up the monitor for use is simple and intuitive yet incredibly powerful. The SAM1 boasts
several means to route audio to the bargraph pairs with a quick and simple configuration tool called
Hot Source List designed for hands-on fast track use and Main Sources Menu intended for more
complex setup processes.
2.6.1 Input selection using the Hot Source List
The Hot Source selector menu is a user configurable list of the most commonly used inputs
associated with a specific application – perhaps a TV Show or Production. The entire total of 54
SDI, MADI, AES or analogue signal pairs may be contained within the Hot Source List however it
is the ability to restrict the list to just those relevant to the operator that makes this function unique.
Use the Scroll / Select encoder to choose the bargraph pair you wish to configure; Access to the
Hot Source List is made by a single short press of the ‘Source’ button to the left of the left hand
display.
The default Hot Source List displayed on the right hand screen is configured as shown with a
subtle variation between SAM1 3GM and SAM1 MADI. Now use the encoder to highlight the
required source and it will be routed automatically to the chosen bargraph channel pair.
