CALREC Putting Sound in the Picture 125
Hydra ports are always treated as pairs.
They can be used for two mono signals,
a stereo signal, or as part of a surround
signal. Hydra port labels consist of the 4
character unit name (user-defined) plus
the module letter (A-N), plus the port
number (1-4), plus L or R.
HyDRA I/O SOURCE LISTS
Please note that Hydra inputs cannot be
patched to Hydra outputs.
Port Lists
Once the network is configured, Hydra
input and output ports can be allocated to
lists along with local I/O using the Options
- Port Lists screens. These lists are saved
as list configurations.
List configurations are linked to network
configurations. When a network
configuration is saved, it is associated with
the current list configuration. When the
network configuration is restored at a later
date, and the system does not match the
expected list configuration, the user will
be prompted to load it, or to re-save the
network configuration with the new list
configuration.
If a network configuration is edited to
remove ports, the list configuration should
be re-sent to the console before the
changes to the lists will take effect.
