Manual Match
This is when the GLIDE key is pressed while a control that is recording automation is being
touched. The alpha associated with the control will display an arrow indicating the direction to
move the control to match to the play pass. The control will drop out of record when the play
pass position is matched. If the control is released before it is matched, it will remain in
position waiting to be matched. If the play pass goes through the control position then the
control will return to play back. If the transport is stopped before the control is matched then
the control will drop out of record and snap back, the same as any control in record when
transport is stopped.
Layers
The concept of layers is used to allow a digital console to control more signal paths
(Channels, Tracks, etc.) than there are fader strips on the control surface. Switching between
layers is instant and reduces the size of a console so that all controls are in reach all the time.
Mix/Pass
A Mix/Pass stores the data for one complete automation pass. Each Mix/Pass contains:
An Event List containing an Initial Snapshot (ISS) followed by Automation Events
Automation Modes and Automation Scope as they were when timecode stopped at the
end of the pass
A Label List
A Safety Snapshot
Mix/Pass Tree
Mix/Passes are organised in a Mix/Pass Tree. The Mix/Pass Tree stores the structure of
dependence between Mix/Passes - this means that it shows the order in which Mix/Passes
were created and the lines of revision used to create each Mix/Pass. The Mix/Pass Tree is
displayed graphically so that Mix/Pass dependencies are shown clearly. A Mix/Pass Tree
always starts with Mix/Pass 1.1. A Mix/Pass Tree is displayed graphically for selecting a
Mix/Pass revision as the Play Pass or for editing the Tree.
Pan Designators
A pan designator is used to determine which portion of a panned signal will be received by a
Track (bus) or Group. For example: Channel 1 is routed to Track 1, Track 2 and some other
destinations. Track 1 is pan designated as Mono (i.e. true mono) and Track 2 is pan
designated as Front Left. Panning of Channel 1 will not affect Track 1 because it is a true
mono destination. However, Track 2 will only receive the portion of Channel 1 for Front Left,
according to the panning on Channel 1.
Mono: This is a normal mono path. The signal received Track or Group will not be affected by
surround panning. A Track designated as Mono would not normally be used in a Film Stem.
Centre Mono This causes a Track to act as a normal mono routing destination (i.e. un-
affected by surround panning), but is routed to the Centre film monitor when used in a stem. If
the Centre Mono designator is used in Surround Sound Manager then the Tracks it is applied
to are auto-routed to the Centre film monitor. This can be applied to Groups, but only has the
same effect as normal Mono.
Left and Right: These are normal stereo left leg and right leg routing destinations. The signal
received by a Track or Group is only affected by left/right panning (i.e. front/back, surround
left/right and divergence controls have no effect). These should be used when Stereo is
selected for Film paths in the Desk Edit Config page.
Front Centre, Front Left and Front Right: These are the surround destinations corresponding
to the front speakers. Front Centre is often fed directly by dialogue to 'lock' dialogue to the
screen.
Surround Mono: This panning destination has two different uses. In LCRS format, it is the
panning destination for rear surround. In wider formats (5.1 and 7.1) it is the destination
corresponding to the sub-woofer.
