When the function is used with digital inputs, it is also possible to
detect whether the device has locked to the digital source signal or
not (Þ «Mode» Þ «Lock»).
Finally, the Input monitoring mode «DS data» permanently
monitors the meta data information sent by a d&b DS-Series device
and the «Fallback» function can be triggered if the Dante channel
is not available on either the Primary or the Secondary network.
