When the LOCK switch is illuminated all assignment changes are disabled and virtual fader operation is locked (either on or off). The console will automatically revert to a locked state if no assignment controls are operated within a 90 second period.

  • Page 46: Snapshot Automation System

    Snapshot Automation System Snapshots can be stored in the automation system as ACTs or SCENEs. There is no difference between an ACT or a SCENE apart from the numbering; scenes are just sub sets within acts. The AUTO MUTE GROUP MASTER switches (1 to 10) activate the mute circuits on any, mute group assigned, input channels.

Navigation of the menu is achieved by using the UP/DOWN switches to select an entry and then pressing CONFIRM to execute the selected function or sub menu. To exit a menu or sub menu press CANCEL. The system menu contains LOCK which defines the level of console operation.

In REAL FADER MODE all of the internal VCA systems are controlled safe’s by the real (physical) faders. The automation system can assist in the MUTE control of the real faders by prompting the operator using the 11 LED's next to each fader.
