Router Component

The Router allows you to route any of the available audio Inputs to any of the available Outputs. You can choose Mono to route inputs to outputs one at a time, Stereo to simultaneously route the left and right Channels of an Input to the left and right Channels of any available Output, or Multi-channel to simultaneously route up to 256 Channels of a single Input to any Output. The Outputs can be individually muted. When a Stereo or Multi-channel Output is muted, all the Channels associated with that Output are muted. You can choose one of three Selection Controls: Crosspoint buttons, Knobs or Combo boxes. In addition, you can select between Source Select Mode and Destination Select Mode.

Controls

Control	Function	Default/Range
Mute (button)	In the Source Selection Mode, the Mute button mutes the associated Output. In the Destination Select Mode, the Mute buttons mute the Input, and are On by default.	Off/On
Input	In the Source Selection Mode, you select the Input row (source) for each Output column. You can have one Input feeding multiple Outputs. In the Destination Selection Mode, you select the Output row (destination) for each Input column. If you multiple Inputs assigned to the same Output, the Mute buttons act as radio buttons.	Default = 1 Range = 1 through n up to 512

Router Properties

Property	Function	Choices
Input Count	Sets the number of Inputs on the component. One Input can have up to 256 Channels. See Type below.	1 to 512 ¹
Output Count	Sets the number of Outputs on the component. One Output can have up to 256 Channels. See Type below.	1 to 512 ¹
Selection Controls	In the Router Control Panel you can have one of four different type of controls. Knobs, Combo boxes, Cross-point and Output Select Mode. Knobs provide a knob and a text edit box for each Output. When you adjust the value of the knob, you are selecting the Input you want for that Output. You can select the same Input for multiple Outputs. Combo boxes provides a drop-down list for each Output. You can select the same Input for multiple Outputs. Crosspoint buttons provide a button matrix and a text edit box. You can click the button for the Input you want for that Output, or click the text edit box and enter the number of the Input. You can select the same Input for multiple Outputs. Output Select Mode provides a knob and a text edit box for each Input. When you adjust the value of the knob, you are selecting the Output you want for that Input. You can select the same Output for multiple Inputs, but when you do, the Mute buttons act like radio buttons.You cannot actually route different inputs to the same output at the same time - the Router does not mix or sum signals.	Knobs Combo boxes ¹ Cross-point buttons ¹ Output Select Mode
Selection Mode	In the Source Mode, you select the output for each Input (source). The Inputs are rows, the Outputs columns. In the Destination Mode, you select the Input for each Output (destination). The Outputs are rows, the Inputs columns. The Mute buttons act as radio buttons when more than one Input is selected for an Output.
