Level Map All modes Cross-connects levels (typically in the same
physical router). Typically used to shuffle audio
channels, for example, to connect AES1/2 to AES3/
4. When an Info button is configured, you can view
current cross-connects. The ‘Level’ mode is
cancelled when the next normal “take” is performed
involving the selected devices. (The Level Map
button becomes enabled only when there is a valid
preset.)
