Assigning Sources to Input Channels

Once Sources have been created, they must be assigned to input channels on the Quasar Engine and then saved to a Show Profile.

Show Profiles can be created in one of two ways:

  • Sources can be assigned directly from the console and the resulting configuration captured as a Show.

  • A Show Profile can be created from the web GUI by assigning sources to channels.

Creating a Show Profile from the Console

  • Push the top encoder of the channel strip to which you want to assign a source, then select the "Source" tab in the Master Touchscreen module.

  • All configured and active sources on the network will appear; it may be necessary to use the touchscreen to scroll down to show more sources.

  • Push the "Load Source" button.

Note - Inactive sources - that is, those generated by devices that are disconnected from the network or turned off - will not be detected by Quasar and will therefore not appear in the list.

Creating a Show Profile from the Web GUI

  • Using a PC connected to your studio network, enter the IP address of the Quasar Surface to display the web GUI.

  • Navigate to the Profiles menu, then to the Shows menu.

  • Click on the Create new show profile button.

  • Enter a name for the new Profile and confirm.

A new Show Profile diagnostics page will appear where Sources can be assigned to input channels from a dropdown menu.

For more detailed information on how to create and configure Network sources, please refer to the Quasar User Manual.
