Configuring XStudio 35

If you are connecting to a DCS or Maestro, playback channel 1 on the host unit
will be used for log playback and channels 2 and 3 map to the DCS or Maestro
channels of the same number, as applicable. Refer to the topic on Using
XStudio with DCS or Maestro for more information.
Map each XStudio playback deck using the drop-down list of available audio outputs. If a PC has a
single sound card with a single audio output available, there will usually be two items in the list. The
first item is typically named "Microsoft Sound Mapper" and corresponds to the audio device you have
set as the default device to play Windows sounds - OS startup, close, etc. The second device will be
the actual sound card in the PC. In this example, the two entries end up at the same place - the single
audio output on the PC.
If your PC is equipped with only one sound card, be aware that Windows will be
using the same device to play system sounds. It is highly recommended that
you disable all system sounds in this case. This will prevent unwanted sound
from appearing on your "on-air" channel.
If you have more than one sound card or a sound card equipped with multiple audio outputs, the list of
available devices will be larger. It is highly recommended that you select a device other than the
"Microsoft Sound Mapper" or the audio device that is set as the default audio device in Windows.
If you have a single sound card with a single output, you can still use the second, third and fourth audio
decks in XStudio, if desired. Simply assign the same audio output as used for the Log Playback
Device. At playback time, the audio playing on decks 1, 2, 3 and/or 4 will be mixed to the single output
device.
Many standard sound cards will support 12 streams of audio mixed together (3
from each playback deck) on a single output. However, not all support that
many streams. Consult your sound card documentation for information on how
many streams are supported by the sound card.
Items with a check mark in the REQ column require user entry, while unchecked items have default
values which can optionally be changed. Note that if no audio output channel is mapped to a deck,
playback for that deck will be routed to the default Windows playback device.
Audio Output for Log
(Deck 1)
Select the audio output channel that will be used with
Deck 1, the primary audio playback channel, from the
drop-down list. As a default, all log items will play through
this deck.
Select the audio output channel that will be used with
Deck 2 from the drop-down list.
Select the audio output channel that will be used with
Deck 3 from the drop-down list.
Select the audio output channel that will be used with
Deck 4 from the drop-down list.
Select the audio playback deck that will be used with hot
buttons from the drop-down list. When a blank (non-
configured) button is configured using the hot button
