Details
Controls: Custom low-depth light-action paddle switches, bank key for stem/track access, record/monitor select (track/stem/all), solo, mute, source/playback switching
I/O: 2x RS422 (in/out, configurable), Ethernet for PDStem software connectivity, multiple units daisy-chainable via RS-422
Notable use: Film mixing PEC/Direct-style record/monitor panel; compatible with Pro Tools 7.2+ and Pyramix 5.XX.XSP2+; automatic stem/track assignment from DAW track names
Notes: FLAG - borderline device: PD-1net does not switch audio itself, it sends record/monitor commands to the DAW (which performs the actual audio switching). Included under CB Electronics' own 'Studio Monitoring' category as a monitor panel rather than a general DAW/transport controller, so kept in-scope as Monitor Controller, but this leans toward control-surface territory — flagged per instructions.
