[. . . ] » DM-4800 Digital Mixing Console D00936910B OWNER'S MANUAL ­IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS : For U. S. A TO THE USER This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residental area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. [. . . ] The input sources are as follows, as listed at the lower right of the screen (1 in Figure 4. 1, Routing inputs): M/L TDIF1/TDIF2/ TDIF3 ADAT DIN Mic/line input channels (see "Mic/line connections" on page 49). The three built-in TDIF 8-channel input ports (see "TDIF I/O" on page 50). The eight optical "lightpipe" inputs (see"ADAT "lightpipe" OUT & IN" on page 50). The two stereo digital inputs (see "Digital inputs and outputs" on page 50). Table 4. 2: Input sources Table 4. 3: Destination layers If either of the first two options is selected, each destination module is shown in the list with an INP (input) and RTN (return) available for routing selection. Channels 49 through 64 only present the input (though this has only the capabilities of returns in other channels). 3 Use the cursor keys to select the source field (either the input or return in the case of channels 1 through 48), and use the wheel to select TASCAM DM-4800 User's Manual 59 4 ­ Routing & assignment : Routing the input source (from the available sources within the selected source block). 4 You must then press ENTER to confirm the routing selection. TIP only be done for channels 1 through 48, as these are the only ones for which the input and return sources may be selected. 1 Use the wheel to select the destination field (the left field) and confirm with ENTER. 2 Move to the on-screen button SOURCE INVERT (inverts the sources) and press ENTER. Press ENTER again to flip the selected eight channels (a cursor key cancels). Note that linked modules allow you to select independent sources. Also note that while the same source may be routed to more than one destination layer (you might want to try recording a vocal line with different compression settings, for example), a channel destination can only accept one source (of course!). Batch routing It may be a little troublesome at times to select eight consecutive inputs and then route them to eight separate consecutive destinations. To set up eight input/destinations at one time, move the cursor down to the batch setup area at the bottom center of the screen (3 in Figure 4. 1, Routing inputs). 1 Move the cursor to the destination field and use the wheel and ENTER key to select eight destinations (not in dynamic trigger layer selection) from the destination source selected with POD 3. 3 Use the wheel to select a group of eight inputs from the input source selected using POD 4 (some input sources have only eight inputs anyway and in double-frequency mode some sources may only have four inputs). When you press ENTER, the eight input sources are assigned in order to the eight destinations. Loopback options The loopback options provide even more flexibility in internal routing, but they should be approached with caution. They allow the 24 busses, aux 1 through 12 or stereo buss, or the direct channel outputs of the first 48 channels (similar to direct outputs on an analog console) to be used as input sources to channels. The display shows Bx/Dy (x can be from 1 through 24 and is repeated twice, while y is from 1 through 48, e. g. B1/D25) or BUSS 1 through BUSS 24 or AUX 1 through AUX 12 or STEREO L or STEREO R when a loopback routing is selected. When a channel has a direct output selected, the direct output from that channel overrides the correspondingly-numbered buss. The direct option allows the selection of only the direct module outputs (1­48) as sources. Note that the selection of DIRECT as a channel destination, using the selection keys, removes the channel from the busses. WARNING Flipping the channels It is possible to "flip" individual channel inputs between the input and return sources (so that the "input" source becomes the "return" and vice versa) on an individual basis within the MODULE screens (see "INPUT/RETURN selection" on page 83), but it is sometimes convenient to be able to do this for batches of eight channels at a time. This is done from this INPUT screen using the BATCH SETUP at the bottom of the screen. Of course this can As the name of these loopback options suggests, they allow flexible internal repatching, which could result in a loop whereby the output of a buss also acts as an input to the same buss, resulting in a feedback loop.
