SOURCE OwNERSHIP
There may be circumstances when
a source’s ownership needs to be
overridden, for example, a microphone
is needed for the next show but has
not been released from the previous
show. “Force Ownership to be Dropped”
releases the source from its owner,
allowing another console to control it.
This function is necessary for the situation
where grabbing the ownership is not
sufficient. This could be because the
user wants to load a memory using ports
it does not own. Upon loading a memory,
any gain settings saved for ports the
console does not own will be ignored, and
the gain settings applied by the owner
will be applied. In this case, it would be
necessary to force the ownership to be
dropped before loading the memory, such
that the correct gain settings are recalled.
