Performing a Broadcast Take — Limited X-Y Mode
Follow these steps:
1 Select a destination and route a source to it. The source becomes the master because the
router is in data forward mode. This destination is the slave and communicates bidirection-
ally with the master on the machine control level.
2 Press ‘Broadcast’ (so that it is high-tally).
3 Choose a destination and route the same source to it. This destination only receives control
commands; it will not return status.
4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 to connect additional slave destinations.
5 To remove one slave from the group, turn off ‘Broadcast’ and route a source to it that is not
the master (e.g., the free source). This new device must have a machine control connection.
6 To clear the entire broadcast route, turn off ‘Broadcast’ and select the master device as the
destination in a new route. (We recommend that you use the free source as the new source).
The entire broadcast route is cleared, and data connections are removed from all slaves.
Performing a Broadcast Take — Multi-Destination Mode
Follow these steps:
1 Press a source. That source becomes the master because the router is in data forward mode.
This destination (configured on the source button) is the slave and communicates bidirec-
tionally with the master on the machine control level.
2 Press ‘Broadcast’ (so that it is high-tally).
3 Press another source button that has the same source but a different destination. This desti-
nation only receives control commands; it will not return status.
4 Repeat step 2 and 3 to connect additional slave destinations.
5 To remove one slave from the group, turn off ‘Broadcast’ and route a source to it that is not
the master (e.g., the free source). This new device must have a machine control connection.
6 To clear the entire broadcast route, turn off ‘Broadcast’ and select the master device as the
destination in a new route. (We recommend that you use the free source as the new source).
The entire broadcast route is cleared, and data connections are removed from all slaves.
Important Points
• After you perform the complete take, you must start the playback of the source device man-
ually.
• The panel provides no way to determine which devices belong to the “broadcast group.” You
must keep track of this yourself.
• If another operator takes either your master device or the first slave device, the entire broad-
cast group collapses. Any other slave can be removed from the group, however, without col-
lapsing the entire group. Only the primary pair is critical to the group’s integrity.
Data Routing
There are 3 data routing options that affect sources and destinations that have a machine
control level (i.e., a data level). These options govern what happens when a source or destina-
tion device is to be used.
