Components of the channel ganging configuration

The following table describes the main components in the Ganging Configuration window.
Feature Description
Gang 1, Gang 2 Allows you to select which channels to gang together. You can have up to two gangs on any one K2 Summit/Solo system.
Record/Play same clip on all channels of gang

If this box is checked:

Ganged channels can record multi-track audio and video. The controls on the first channel affect all the channels in the gang, including settings for loop playback, continuous record, and E-to-E.

Starting a record causes the same clip to be recorded on all the record channels in the gang. The first channel displays the name of the clip and the number of the gang, G1 or G2. The other record channels in the gang display “The channel is currently used by” in the channel pane.

If you configure a gang of play channels and load a multi-track clip onto one channel, the rtacks are automatically loaded on the other channels in the gang. For example, if you have four ganged play channels and load a clip with three tracks, the first three channels load the three tracks.

If this box is not checked:

The settings on the first channel for loop playback, continuous record, and E-to-E affect all the channels in the gang. Though the channels are labeled as a gang (G1 or G2), if recording each channel functions as a single record channel. To begin recording, eject any existing clip, select New Clip and press the Record button on each channel.

If playing, the ganged channels can play different clips on each channel. The play and stop controls are synchronized, but each clip must be loaded or ejected on a each channel. Adding cue points to one clip does not affect the cue points on different clips in the other channels.

This box is disabled if any of the channels in the gang are configured as ChannelFlex channels.

Record audio from all channels to same clip

If this box is checked:

The audio from more than one channel in the gang is recorded. Up to 32 audio tracks can be recorded on one clip: for example tracks 1-16 from the first channel and tracks 17-32 from the second channel, or four tracks from each channel in a gang of four channels, and so on. To direct the routing, you can assign label tags to the audio tracks before or after the clip is recorded. When you play the clip, unless you specify otherwise, the first 16 audio tracks play on the first channel and the second 16 audio tracks (tracks 17-32) play on the second channel. If there is only one video track and you play the clip on a gang of player channels, the video plays on the first channel only. The other video channels, if any, play black.

If this box is not checked:

The audio from the first channel in the gang is recorded, up to a total of 16 audio tracks. If there is only one video track and you play the clip on a gang of player channels, the video plays on all the channels in the gang.

This box is disabled if any of the channels in the gang are configured as ChannelFlex channels

Record video from all channels to same clip

If this box is checked:

Video from all channels in the gang is recorded. You can record up to four video tracks on one clip. The order of video tracks in the clip is determined by the order of channels in the group.

If this box is not checked:

Only video from the first channel in the gang is recorded.

This box is disabled if any of the channels in the gang are configured as ChannelFlex channels.
