Why, what is the advantage (s) of powering the TIU
via the AUX input????

If you have a short on the track on Fixed Output #1, you don't lose control of all the tracks with the TIU losing all it's power. If you're powering it from Fixed #1, a loss of that power loses the DCS on Fixed #2. and the variable channels will stop passing any power.
If you just running one loop off fixed 1 no need for aux power. Otherwise it is beneficial for continuity of TIU operation, and also allows the TIU input power via F1/F2/ etc to be devoted to the track. Helpful if your using a smaller power source like Z-1000 or PW1033. G
Adding to what GRJ said, if you lose power on Fixed 1, power will continue to flow to Fixed 2 and any variables set to fixed, but you'll have no control and even the red button won't stop things.
I believe any variable channels set to fixed will still lose power when you stop powering the TIU, but you are certainly correct that the other fixed channel will continue to pass whatever power is on it's input.
