Forced monitor select

Hi Guys,

Is there a way to force the control room monitors & headphones to a source via pathfinder?

I would like to change the monitoring to PGM1 in a stacking event.

We are running pathfinder PC PRO version 4.51 RC7

Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Chris

There is no protocol for changing what is selected on the monitor section. The monitor selection was designed to be a control interface for an operator, and thus it was not considered to create a protocol for remote control of those user interfaces. The only option you have is to change a source profile and to have that profile configured with PGM 1 selected for the monitor section.

Hi Milos,

Thanks for your quick reply. Is there any way to 'push' the PGM1' bus monitoring button from a telnet session to the Element?

There is no protocol. Meaning there is no command. If there was a command, then pathfinder could do it.

Hi Chris,
This may not be exactly what your trying to accomplish but I have in a few installs used a vmix out to feed the ext 1 source on the monitor section. This allows pathfinder to control vmix inputs on / off and fade levels of source inputs.
