Global Functions Window
The “Global Functions” window provides control over three different automation
areas:
•
Global Automation Functions: Non-channel oriented automation functions
•
Function Enables: Enable buttons for Faders, Groups, Switches, Timecode,
Leave Write, and Control Surface (DAW control)
•
Automation Safe Modes: Safe buttons prevent changes to Switches, Mute
2, Mute 1, Fader 2 and Fader 1
The “global automation function” and “enable” buttons are mirrored by buttons on
the Vision Control Panel (VCP).
The Global Function window will be discussed in detail in section 26.6 Global
Functions.
The automation modes determine the basic
automation system function:
•
Manual: No automation control
•
Read: Playback of recorded moves
•
Update: Records fader moves only while it is
being touched. Records MUTES and switches
the they are engaged
•
Write: Records moves from the time the
faders are touched or switches are engaged
until the mode is changed to Read or
Timecode is stopped
The submodes determine how the automation data
is written to a mix pass:
•
None: Clears submodes from the selected
channel sections
•
Latch: Writes the last recorded position to the
end of Timecode
•
Touch Intro Write: Faders in Update change
to Write when touched
•
Update from Start: Applies the last value of
the control back to the start of Timecode
00:00:00.00
•
Update from Touch: Applies the last value of
the control back to the point the fader was
touched or switch was changed
•
Update to Next Move: Applies the last value
of the control until the next recorded move
for that control
