Digital Broadcast Production Console
To change the layer of faders shown,
touch the ‘Select Layer’ button and select
the required layer from the popup. The
A, B and A/B buttons below the list allow
only the A faders only, B faders only or A
and B faders to be shown.
To connect an autofader to one or more
faders, select the required autofader in
the left list, and the target faders in the
right list and touch the ‘Patch’ button. To
remove a connection, select the relevant
autofader and touch the ‘Remove’ button.
Autofader levels
When an autofader is attached to a fader
and is enabled, providing the trigger signal
is not present, the fader will go to the
OUT LEVEL complying with the Fade-Out
Duration parameter, rather than snapping
the audio to the Fade-Out level. If an
autofader is enabled, either from path or
global enable, for a path whose GPI is
currently triggered, the audio should fade
(up or down) to the Fade-In Level (if it
is not there already), complying with the
Fade-In Duration parameter, rather than
snapping the audio to the Fade-In level.
When the trigger signal is present, the
fader will follow the settings made on the
PROCESSING-AUTOFADER screen.
Autofader parameter settings
The AUTOFADER screen allows
the settings of the autofaders to be
configured. The available settings for all
the Time based controls are :
• 0 to 100ms in 10ms steps
• 100ms to 1s in 100ms steps
• 1s to 5s in 500ms steps.
The IN and OUT gain level settings are
-100dB to +10dB in 1dB steps.

Global Bypass button which effectively
disables all Autofaders.
Autofader indicators

the fader will show the EXT and FDR
indicators as shown in Fig 4.
FDR indicates that the fader is automated
and EXT indicates that the control is an
external source.
