A Note About Source Sharing: Element’s
source sharing protocol keeps sources from
being controlled by more than one console at a
time.
If an operator tries to assign a source that’s
already in use on another console and has a
backfeed or logic control enabled, the ID box in
the Channel Options screen informs him that
he has “Listen Only” rights to the source (as
seen in the righthand box above) - no backfeed
will be sent from his console, and no machine
logic is tied to the fader’s ON/OFF keys.
If the source is not in use anywhere else, the
operator is informed that they have “Full Con-
trol” of the source (as shown in the lefthand
box above), and backfeed and logic operate
normally.

screen also indicates the amount of cut/boost applied,
and the center frequency of each band.
