6. Operation
6.2 Fader Strip Control
Any fader strip can control any type of source (or summing bus) and, depending on the configuration, support
layer switching and fader mapping. This enables lots of signals to be controlled from very few physical faders.
All MF Keys are programed by the configuration and are defined per source. MF Key 5 is only available if Layer
2 is disabled. All other controls provide the same fixed functionality regardless of the configuration.
1 Input Gain, Pan & Stream Selection
Tap down on the rotary control to step through the available parameters,
and then turn to adjust the current value - the parameter name and value
appear briefly in the electronic display.
The available parameters vary depending on the type of source. For more
details, see
Input Gain & Pan and RAVENNA Source Stream Selection .
2 Source-Specific Functions (MF Keys 1, 1b, 2, 2b)
The four small MF keys are labeled by the electronic display. They are
programed by the configuration and are defined per source. Typical
functions include Conference enable, AutoGain, AutoMix and Talkback.
3 ACCESS / ACCESS 2 (MF Key 5)
Use the ACCESS keys to switch the fader strip between its two layers,
select a source (for parameter control ) or activate strip assign mode.
If Layer 2 is disabled by the configuration, then ACCESS 2 operates as
MF Key 5. In this instance, there is no layer switching and the button can
perform a different function such as PFL or talkback.
4 Fader
Use the fader to adjust the source's mix level to the summing bus outputs.
The level can be adjusted from - to +9dB.
5 Signal Present / Source Type Indicator
For summing buses, the backlight always indicates the type of bus. The
colors are defined by the configuration.
For input sources, the backlight can indicate the type of source or show
when signal is present. There are three possibilities:
·
Signal Present only – the backlight illuminates when signal is
present. Up to 8 level thresholds can be configured, each with its
own color code and state.
·
Source Color only – the backlight indicates the source type. The
source color can be static, or individual colors can be driven by
logical triggers - for example, to indicate a change of status such as assigned to PGM, off-air recording,
incoming call, etc.
·
Mix Mode – combines both options, where signal present takes priority.
6 Source Label
This display always shows the name of the source (or summing bus) controlled by the fader strip.
In addition, you may see two lines of user labels (if user labels are enabled in the configuration). There are three
possibilities: user labels on, off or toggle. Once enabled, the text can be edited using either
VisTool MK2 or the
User Labels software.
7 MF Keys 3 & 4
The two large MF keys are programed by the configuration and are defined per source. In our example, they are
channel
ON and PFL .
