Motorized Joystick Panel - Calrec SIGMA Operator's Manual

MOTORIzEd JOySTICk PANEL

The motorized joystick panel can
be either a single joystick, or twin
joysticks. The joysticks are touch-
sensitive, and the TOUCh lED lights
when the joystick is touched.
The joysticks allow accurate stereo
and surround panning of channels,
groups or mains. Please note that
the joystick is unavailable for use on
5.1 surround channels and groups;
or their spill legs.
In normal operation, the joystick controls
the currently selected fader path. LOCK
allows the joystick to be fixed to a
specific path. Pressing LOCK again will
unlock the panel.
The fader display shows the path
currently assigned to the joystick panel
and LEDs indicate the type of path
being controlled.

SS - Indicates a 5. 1 surround main
GP - Indicates a group
Front/Back pan, L/R Pan and Front
Divergence each have a set of dedicated
controls. Each has an IN button to
enable the function. The IN buttons and
L-C-R button work in parallel with the
buttons on the Input/Output panel.

CONTROLS ACTIVE must be selected
for the joystick controls to take effect.

De-selecting Controls Active does not
restore any previous Rear Level or Rear
Pan controls, but leaves the Rear Level
switched out, and the Rear Pan at the
same setting and IN/OUT status as the
Front Pan.
If a blank fader or a main path is assigned,
Controls Active is disabled. The divergence
display will be blank and the buttons will
not take effect. If the joystick is engaged, it
will default to the central position, unless it
is being touched, in which case it will stay
where it is.
Similarly, if a path is assigned where
Controls Active is off, the joystick (if
engaged) will default to the central
position, unless it is being touched, in
which case it will stay where it is.
Freeze
When freeze is pressed on either axis,
the joystick ceases to alter that axis.
Freeze does not affect the Input/Output
