Forced 4-Wire Connection When assigning the (net) logical codec input to a fader strip on the desk
surface, the return line is connected to the codec’s patch output immediately,
and the key will then be bright. This connection type is automatically
established if the Codec Return Activation is set to Connect Always.
If the return line should be used by another system already, it is automatically
taken away from the other system without further user action. A user warning
is created on the other system’s main screen and in the log file of the central
log screen.
Note: Codec return line control is currently not supported by the user GUI. Opera-
tion is possible with the hardware controls only, as described above. How-
ever, codec return lines may be remotely connected and disconnected in the
Routing - Output page of the producer system, i.e., the system to which the
codec is physically connected.
Producer System Status The three different return line control modes described above can, of course,
only work out properly if the producer system is operative. If this should not
be the case, the following restrictions must be considered:
  • Codecreturnlinescanbe(automaticallyormanually)activatedonlywhile
the producer system is running.
  • Iftheproducersystemshutsdown,thestatusofall4-wireconnectionsis
forced to 2-wire connection.
  • Iftheproducersystemstartsupwhileanetlogicalinputoftheconsumer
system is in 2-wire connection status, this status is retained.
