Host Channel Monitoring

Print this Topic Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

To access host channel monitoring settings, select the "Host Channel Monitoring" item in the navigation tree, located at the left side of the display. In this area, you select the host audio output channels to monitor for posting.

You can choose which of the audio channels on the host XStudio, DCS or Maestro unit to monitor and post information from. Typically, only channel 1 would be used as it would be viewed as the "on-air" channel. If desired, though, you can also monitor other channels. Channel 4 is available on XStudio or Maestro, channel 5 is available on Maestro units only (if so equipped).

For Maestro units with more than 3 available audio channels, only the first 3 channels are supported for remote serial data on earlier Maestro versions. If you have more than 3 audio channels, channels 4 and up cannot be monitored. If you are using later version of Maestro, channels 4 & 5 can be monitored, if available.

For XStudio, channel 4 is available for monitoring beginning with version 3.0.

To monitor a channel, check the channel number item. To ignore data from a particular channel, uncheck the channel number.
