The previous section described how to make a simple recording
for immediate replay. However, M.A.R.S. and Eclipse support a
number of additional functions as follows:
Patching Ethersound Channels
A standard Eclipse system is shipped with one DioCore fitted with
56 microphone channels. The diagram below shows the audio
streaming for a standard Eclipse configuration:
In this configuration M.A.R.S. records downstream Ethersound
channels, with Ethersound channel 1 recorded to track 1,
Ethersound channel 2 to track 2 and so on. With standard
patching, the result is:
• Tracks 1 to 56 = DIO Mic Inputs 1 to 56
• Tracks 57 to 64 = free.
The following examples show how to patch the spare 8 channels.
However, you could use this method to alter any Ethersound
channel patching, and thereby route different signals to M.A.R.S.
