Fader linking (GUI only)
The link fader section (matrix only), has an ST and
a MON button for linking the matrix channel fader
to the stereo or mono master faders, respectively.
Control of the stereo master faders reverts to the
highest fader.
Bus trim (GUI only)
The bus trim section (all output channels except
return) has a control for fine adjustment of the
gain, in the range -12 dB to +6 dB.
Direct input (GUI only)
The direct input section (all output channels
except return) provides an internal connection to
effects etc. or an external input into the output
from an effect or line I/O unit. It allows you to take
a signal directly out of a defined point in the input
channel’s signal path and route it to either an
internal assignable effect or to one of the physical
outputs (a physical connection at one of the line I/O
boxes). This function is optional and assigned on a
channel-by-channel basis.
This section is deliberately distanced from main
channel panel controls because it is a limited resource and unused on many channels.
Selection of signal path source can only be carried out via the GUI.
This section has similar functionality to the direct output section on each input
channel, see “Direct input (GUI only)” on page 303.
For routing information, see Table 22 “Navigating to the Patching screen” on page 376.
Safes
Each output channel (except return) has six types of output channel safes that each
each protects a specific control/area from the automation system.
The safes on the return channel are input channel types, of which there are only five
available (there is no dynamics).
You can only operate the safe switches via the channel strips (control surface and GUI),
which also provide on/off status information. The status of some of the safes is
displayed via LEDs in the output fast strips and master strips on the control surface.
For more information on what areas are protected by each safe, see Table 35 “Channel
and group safe areas” on page 415.
Insert (GUI only)
You can configure the send and return points of the
aux, matrix and master outputs in the insert
section of the configuration processing area. The
returns have a separate insert processing area,
which has the same function.
For routing information, see Table 22 “Navigating to
the Patching screen” on page 376.
