5.8.2 Channel Format
The channel format is not fixed as it usually is in a production console, but
it automatically follows the format of the routed input source instead. This
means that when routing a mono input source to a console channel forces the
channel to operate in mono mode, and routing a stereo input source forces
the channel to operate in stereo mode.
The channel format affects the controls in the channel page. This is visible in
the channel input page, where the LR/RL/LL/RR/Mono buttons are shown
for stereo channels only, and in the channel FDR/Bus page, where either a
PAN field is shown for mono channels or a BAL field for stereo channels.
Formats are automatically adjusted. This means that if a channel is currently
in stereo mode and its signal is routed to a mono AUX output, the system
automatically inserts a mono summing matrix into the signal path between
the channel and this AUX output.
5.8.3 Routing Protection
If a channel is currently on-air (i.e., channel ON, channel fader open, channel
routed to a master being on-air, master fader open), the input source cannot
be changed before the channel becomes inactive. However, hot-swapping of
channels is always allowed.
Connections can be protected in the configuration tool (e.g. the master chan-
nels).
