Sound Devices 788T - Manual (Page 148)

Track LED Track Status Description
Off Track is disabled and will not be recorded. Track is disabled in the Track Setup Window or by pressing
the CL-9 Track Button. This is useful when using a track as
an output or monitoring bus, without having to record it.
Flashing Blue Track is enabled but will not be recorded. Track is enabled in the Track Setup Window or by pressing
the CL-9 Track Button but the track is not armed for any one
of the following reasons:
• No inputs are routed to the track
• Inputs routed to the track are not turned on. Turn on inputs
by clicking the 788T Trim pots clockwise
• Track is not routed to a media in the Track-to-Media menu.
Solid Blue Track is enabled and will be recorded. Track has been enabled in the Track Setup Window or by
pressing the CL-9 Track Button and there is one or more ac-
tive inputs routed to it.
Flashing Green Input-to-Track Routing and Track Solo The Track is soloed in the headphone monitor. Input-to-Track
routing is active. Press a rotary encoder to route the input to
the track. Press and hold a rotary encoder to toggle pre- and
post-fade routing. CL-9 Ring LEDs that are green are routed
pre-fade to the track. CL-9 Ring LEDs that are red are routed
post-fade to the track.
To activate Input-to-Track Routing Mode on the CL-9, press and hold any Track Button for 1 second
or longer. The Track LED fl ashes green when the track is selected for input routing. The selected
track is soloed in the headphone monitor. To exit Input-to-Track Routing Mode, press and release
the selected Track Button again. Input-to-Track Routing Mode can be accessed from any mode and
always exits to Trim (default) Mode.
When in Input-to-Track Routing Mode, press any input’s Rotary Encoder to route that input to the
selected track. The CL-9 Ring LEDs indicate input-to-track routing status. An input’s Ring LED il-
luminates if the input is routed to the selected track. The color of the LED indicates pre- or post-fade
routing status. Green LEDs indicated pre-fade routing and red LEDs indicate post-fade routing. To
toggle pre- and post-fade routing status, press and hold an input’s Rotary Encoder for .5 seconds or
longer. Pre- and post-fade assignments are applied to all inputs routed to that track.
CL-9 Communications
The CL-9 provides access to the 788T Communication Systems. This allows the Sound Mixer to have
a Slating System for slating takes and making general announcements and two separate bidirectional
Talk Back (COM1 and COM2) Systems, typically used as a private communication line between the
Sound Mixer and another member of the crew, such as a Boom Op. Each system has its own fl exible
routing and control of levels.
The term Slate Mic is commonly used in the industry when referring to a microphone used to com-
municate. To avoid confusion in the following text, the term Slate Mic will refer to the Slate routing,
and the term Com Send Source will refer to the source used to communicate in all of the Communi-
cation Systems.
Com Send Source
The Com Send Source is defi ned in the Setup Menu option COMMS: COM SOURCE as:
• Disabled,
• Built-In,
• or, External (Input 8)
The selected source serves as the send for the Slate, COM1, and COM2 systems. At Factory Default,
the Com Send Source is disabled. When set to disabled the Slate, COM1, and COM2 toggles are
disabled. The Com Send Source shares Input 8’s signal path. When the Slate, COM1, or COM2 is
active the Input 8 destinations will be silent. The audio performance of the 788T’s Built-In Mic is not
suitable for critical recording applications.
