8.6.10.9 Alternate Signal to N–X Outputs (CUE)
The new N–X bus type allows defining an “alternate N–X bus assign-
ment”. It is possible to select any console channel (or multiples) to be the
alternate N–X output signal. This signal is activated by the ALT n–1 key on
the channel strip. This can be done only if the owner channel’s fader is
closed.
If you don’t want to use normal console channels to be the alternate signal,
feel free to configure simple input channels not used otherwise during the
production. Such a channel can be the “alternate cue signal” source for all
N–X buses – or you can define a different alternate source for each N–X
bus separately.
Set-up an “alternate N–X signal” for a specific N–X bus:
• Open the “Option: N–1 Assignment” menu in the graphic controller
screen
• Select the N–X bus you want to define the alternate signal for
• Check the Edit Alt. Source checkbox
• Select any channel (or multiple) to be the alternate signal source for the
selected N–X bus (their pre-fader signal will be used that can be
weighted with the “N–1 send level” to form the alternate signal for this
N–X bus).
