Timed faders and LED displays
If you like, you can use the fader sliders to take manual control of fades.
For information on taking manual control of fades, see the section titled
Controlling fades manually later in this lesson.
Clearing faders
Each timed fader is equipped with a blue [Clear] key
. To remove a cue
from the fader, press the appropriate [Clear] key. Press [Clear] twice to
clear an effect cue. Pressing [Clear] removes the cue from the fader
immediately unless you have reset the default fader clear time
. For
instructions on changing fader clear time, see
Setting default fader clear
time on page 18.
Insight 2x has two timed faders that allow you
to play back recorded cues
. In each fader, the
left slider (A and C) controls upfades. The right
sliders (B and D) control downfades. You may
play back a cue automatically, using the timing
information programmed into it, or you may
take manual control.
You can play back cues one at a time through a
single fader, or you can play back a different
cue in each fader simultaneously. You can also
play a cue in one fader, leave it there, and then
play another cue in the second fader.
For example, you may want to play a ten-
minute sunset cyc cue in one fader and play
several cues during the same period in the
other fader.
Each fader slider has a strip of LEDs next to it
.
When running a timed crossfade cue, the lit
LEDs indicate the progress of the cue. This is
displayed as a percentage
. For example, when
the LEDs are at 5 , 50 percent of the cue has
run.
Insight 2x’s faders function in level override
mode. This means that the fader sliders control
the percentage of completion of the fade.
