Section 2 — Installation
For a particular studio session, three Kaleidoscope channels could be
acquired from the pool in the order D, E, A, which would be logical
channels 1, 2, 3. This mapping information is passed from the DPM to the
switcher via the control connection. Switcher output routing ensures that
the logical channels 1, 2, 3 appear to the user on logical Aux Buses 1, 2, 3
and switcher input routing ensures that DPM logical channels 1, 2, 3
appear on the crosspoints configured for these logical channels. For the
above configuration, the selection of
[CHANNEL ROUTING] in the DPM Setup
menu should be set to
BOTH.
There are circumstances where output routing is not desirable. For
example, the DPM may have more than 5 channels. In that case, a router or
patch panel may be inserted between the switcher and Kaleidoscope
(Figure 2-27). In this example, switcher output routing is turned off, so the
menu selection for
[CHANNEL ROUTING] in the DPM Setup menu should be set
to
SWR IN. This still provides the return video from the switcher being on a
consistent crosspoint.
