Connecting Elements

All elements on the layout area must be connected to a mixer. The

logic for handling elements is done mixer-by-mixer, so elements that

need to work together should be connected to the same mixer. In cases

where channel counts or proximity make this difficult, network channels

and controls are used, but this should be kept to a minimum to prevent

overloading network resources.

To connect placement elements to a mixer, right-click on the element to

be connected, and select ‘Connect’. The cursor will change to a crosshair,

and the software is placed into a polyline mode, ready for the first point in

the polyline. Place points sequentially from the element to the mixer, and

a line will appear as the points are placed. The initial point is by default

on the placement element, with the first point the user places as the second

point in the line. The final point must always be somewhere on the mixer

icon. When the final point is placed on a mixer icon, the software exits

polyline mode, and the mouse cursor becomes a pointer again.

Panning/Zooming

To pan the view of the layout area, left-click in an open space within the

layout and drag the view to the desired position.

The view can be zoomed using three methods:

1. Use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out in

fixed increments.

2. Left-click on the zoom window icon and

drag a rectangular area to zoom
