Appendix C: Grouped Ports<br />
Appendix C: Grouped Ports<br />
Grouping ports is a one-off setup operation, usually performed when commissioning the console.<br />
It allows outputs from the desk to be 'mirrored' to other ports, and is achieved by simply copying the timeslots<br />
from the 'master' to its 'slaves'. This is useful for example, where a Main Output is always required to be fed to a<br />
number of external sources at the same time, such as CDR, dat, cassette or other tape machines.<br />
When this has been set up, the ports acting as 'slave' outputs will not appear in any of the Encore pages where a<br />
list of available system ports is shown. (This differs from the convention of 'port-in-use' where a port that is<br />
assigned to a path is greyed out on screen).<br />
Because of the nature of grouping ports, these settings will apply to all desk setups regardless of which<br />
particular setup loaded on the console. It is a console wide function and is not dependent on who the logged-in<br />
operator is.<br />
There is no limit to the number of groups you can set.<br />
To set up port grouping, go to Start/Programs/<strong>AMS</strong> <strong>Neve</strong>/System/IO Designer.<br />
Type in the password, and click on the tab for Grouped Ports.<br />
This will show a list of all the valid ports in the system. In the left hand screen, select the ports to be grouped by<br />
either:<br />
Clicking a port, holding shift and clicking another port to select all ports inbetween.<br />
Or<br />
Holding Alt and clicking ports for a non-sequential selection.<br />
Once you have made the selection, click the >> button to add this into the system.<br />
The selection will appear in the right hand window. A master can have up to 5 slave ports.<br />
The top most port on any selection of grouped ports will appear on the porting logicators. It will not be possible<br />
to dial up any of the slave ports.<br />
To remove a selection from the system, select the port (or ports) to be removed, and click the
