4.1 Console Editions
ruby standard configuration is available in two editions: Fader Start (FS) and Button Start (BT). They differ in
the following ways.
Fader Strip Controls
The two large keys at the bottom of the fader strip provide:
·
Fader Start (FS) - channel ON /off and PFL
·
Button Start (BT) - channel ON and OFF
The soft key MF2b provides:
·
Fader Start (FS) - AMix (auto mix enable).
·
Button Start (BT) - CUE (pre-fade listen).
On a Button Start console, Auto Mix can be enabled from DisplayDock (or the surface
Dynamics controls) when a source is in access. See
AutoMix .
Channel On/Off Operation
On Fader Start consoles, the fader motors are active and the channel "on" state is
conditional on the fader position.
On Button Start consoles, the fader motors are inactive and the channel "on" state is
independent of the fader position.
The behavior is described in more detail later .
PFL / CUE
The pre-fade listen function is named PFL on Fader Start console and CUE on Button
Start consoles. There are also some differences in the default behaviour (explained
later ).
Reference Levels
The editions use different reference levels as follows:
·
Fader Start (FS) = DIN
·
Button Start (BT) = SMPTE
