Working with XF Cues
Note:
The Chase menu is only
available when the desk is
set to RECORD mode.
Console output can be recorded to the crossfade (XF) section in the same
way as Scenes are recorded. There are 10 XF stacks each comprising 100
cue (Q) numbers.
The XF Controls
Fader
The fader is used to take manual control of a crossfade. The fader should
be fully up (at the 10 position) for the crossfade to run normally.
Flash Button
This button corresponds to the XF fader and performs two functions:
1
GO. The button is used to begin a crossfade.
2
Record. To Record a Q, set up the desired output, hold the Record
button down and press the XF Flash button.
LCD Display
The display above the XF fader shows the current XF stack / Q number
and the Next XF / Q number Press the flash button to begin a timed
dipless crossfade from one to the other. When a crossfade is running the
display shows the time to run in seconds and the elapsed fade percentage.
If the display shows 5 / 50% it indicates that there is 5 seconds to run and
the fade is 50% complete.
