4.3.3 Labels
Labels are used extensively within the system to define objects, such as
audio sources, channel names, etc., and to visualize these objects in various
windows within the GC.
Please note that all labels are saved within snapshots and presets, together
with all audio settings.
There are various ways to work with labels within the system. For a descrip-
tion of how to use labels, refer to chapter 4.4.2.6. Basic label types are descri-
bed below:
Fixed Labels These are generated automatically at the time of system configuration, and
are used to identify hardware-oriented objects. For example:
Fixed Label Meaning
AES In 4L (Local)
AES/EBU, physical input no. 4, left channel, on internal (‘local’) AES/EBU
I/O module
Line Output 07
(Local)
Line, physical output no. 7, on internal (‘local’) analog line output
module
Fixed labels cannot be modified by standard user, only the system administ-
rator is allowed to do so. However this is not recommended.
User Labels These by default are identical to the fixed labels when starting a new title
using one of the pre-configured templates. The user is allowed to rename these
User labels in the GC to make the system environment more user-friendly.
User labels are used to give the objects a useful, application-oriented name.
For example:
Fixed Label User Label Meaning
AES In 4L (Local)
DAT 1
DAT Player 1, coming in via AES/EBU, physical input
no. 4, left channel, on internal (‘local’) AES/EBU I/O module
Line Output 07
(Local)
Foldback 1
Line, physical output no. 7, on internal (‘local’) analog
line output module, is the foldback Send 1 to the
Studio Floor
Inherited (or Device) Labels Inherited labels are used primarily to identify the Source Signal that is con-
nected to the Channel Strip, rather than the user label of the Channel. In this
way, as soon as the signal is connected to a channel’s input, the channel strip
display inherits the Label from the actual Source.
