Channel Signal Flow - Sony OXF-R3 Brochure & Specs

The OXF-R3 uses an 'Input Channel & Inserts' panel to configure the
audio processing and signal flow for each of the input channels. Each
channel has eight processing boxes that allow the audio processing
blocks (e.g. EQ, dynamics, etc.) to be connected in any order. This
permits a high level of flexibility, as each channel can be individually
set up for a specific task. Comprehensive Copy modes, together with
Snapshot Save and Load functions, allow the complete console to be
set up in custom configurations simply and quickly.

In the table above, Multitracking is achieved with the MULTI block. This provides access to the 48
L & R
Multitrack Busses via the multitrack fader, pan and group trim controls. It also activates the Send/Return
Monitoring function. The OXF-R3 can also operate in a broadcast mode where it generates a stereo 'on-air'
PAN
mix along with a parallel multitrack output, with simultaneous provision for a multitrack confidence check.
CH OUTPUT
FADER refers to the channel fader. Normally this is not allocated to one of the boxes, but positioned after it.
However it can be positioned in one of the boxes to provide post fader processing (e.g. to facilitate a post
fader limiter or other process).

The INSERT block is used in conjunction with the system I/O GUIs
to route the channels insert send and return signals to selected
I/O connectors.
Aux Sends can be selected from the 11 discrete positions in the
channel path. These are post the input gain control, post boxes 1 to 8,
post the multitrack send level controls and post the channel fader.
This provides greatly enhanced functionality compared to the pre/post
fader selection on traditional analogue mixers.
