Adjusting Main Bus Controls
Main Bus Output Levels
The Main bus output levels are controlled from the single
Mains Fader located to the right of the Output faders.
The Left, Right, and Center/Mono busses can be controlled in-
dependently or in tandem. You can create an offset between
any of the Main bus levels, and it will be preserved when con-
trolling any combination of the Main busses. The offset be-
tween the busses is maintained until at least one of the busses
is minimized or maximized.
Linking Mains
You can link any of the three Mains faders for grouped-con-
trol of level, mute and solo.
To control the Main bus output levels:
1
In the Outputs page, click the on-screen channel Link but-
tons for any combination of Left, Right, or Center/Mono out-
put strips to assign control of the corresponding busses to the
Mains Fader.
2
Move the Mains fader to change the level of the assigned
busses.
Main Bus Mute
The mute status of the Main busses is controlled from the
Mute switch located above the Mains Fader. When at least one
of the Main busses is not muted, the Mains mute switch
flashes.
To control the mute status of the Main busses:
1
In the Outputs page, click the on-screen channel Link but-
tons for any combination of Left, Right, or Center/Mono out-
put strips to assign control of the corresponding busses to the
Mains Fader.
2
Press the Mute switch to toggle the mute status of the as-
signed busses.
Main Bus Delay
A variable delay (from 0 to 500 ms) can be applied to any of
the Main busses.
To apply delay to a Main bus:
1
Target the Main bus where you want to apply delay by re-
peatedly pressing the Select switch in the Mains section, or by
selecting it on-screen.
2
Adjust the Delay value by turning the on-screen Delay ro-
tary encoder.
Main Bus Center Divergence Options
When the Main busses are set to L–C–R (Left-Center-Right)
mode, the Center Divergence setting determines amount of
center-panned signal sent to the center output.
◆
When Center Divergence is set to 100%, a channel panned
to center is sent to the center output only.
◆
When Center Divergence is set to 0%, a channel panned to
center is sent equally to the left and right outputs only (phan-
tom center).
◆
A Center Divergence setting between 0% and 100% sends a
center-panned channel to the left, center, and right outputs
with the center channel more prominent as the value in-
creases towards 100%.
To set Center Divergence:
■
Enter a value or drag in the Center Divergence text box and
press Return.
Main Bus Automatic Delay Compensation
D-Show automatically compensates for delays incurred by the
use of Groups and insertion of plug-ins in the signal path to
the Main busses. Delays are automatically applied to signals
arriving at the Main busses from multiple destinations to
maintain the proper time alignment.
