Our Setup
The specifics of BBC's rig — what's plugged in where, how the channels are laid out, and the scene and monitor conventions. This is the page that turns a generic X32 guide into our desk's manual.
Every field below is a blank for the team to complete (shown as —). Nothing here is invented — the real values are whatever's actually patched and saved on the console. Fill them in from your desk, and update whenever the stage or routing changes. The DCA and mute-group names are the suggested layout from the how-tos; edit them to match what you actually run.
Input & patch list
What's physically plugged in, and where the signal arrives. (From the stage and the Routing screen. Extend past 16 as needed — up to 32 local inputs plus the stagebox.)
