Master Level 

 
Overall light intensity to the stage is controlled by the Master Level slide control. While the Master Level is usually 
kept in the in the maximum position (fully up), all light levels can be increased or decreased proportionally by 
adjusting this slide control. It should be noted that the Master Level control only affects the output levels and has 
no effect on the LED channel level indicators. 

Audio 

 
The Audio slide control adjusts the input sensitivity of the audio circuitry. Adjust the audio sensitivity by starting this 
slide control at minimum and increasing until the desired effects have been achieved. 
 
 

Chase Rate 

 
The Chase Rate slide control adjusts the step rate of the chase effect. The step rate is indicated by the red LED 
located directly below the Chase Rate slide control. This LED will flash every time the chase is sequenced. 
 
 

Fade Rate 

 
The NCM 6200 has an autofader to provide automatic dipless crossfades from one scene to another. The Fade 
Rate slide control determines the speed at which the fade will occur. The fade will happen instantly when this 
control is in the fully down position and causes increasingly slower fades as the control is raised. 
 

 
Crossfade 

 
A crossfade slide control is provided to allow manual crossfades to be performed by the operator. Both memory 
and manual scenes may be loaded into the slide control to accomplish dipless crossfades. 
 
 

Page 

 
The NCM 6200 memory scenes are structured into 16 pages. Each page contains 8 memory scenes that can be 
accessed with the 8 scene select buttons. Pages are selected by using the Page button. Each tap of the Page 
button sequences to the next page. The active page is indicated on the two character LED display. 
 
 

Scene Select 

 
The 8 Scene Select buttons are used to select memory scenes, flash scenes, chases and configuration modes. 
Memory scenes and chases will fade in at the current fade rate unless the button is held down, in which case the 
fade rate is overridden and an instant fade is performed. 
 

 
Flash 

 
A Flash scene will cause preprogrammed channels to flash to full intensity. There are 8 Flash scenes available 
and may be brought up by tapping the Scene Select buttons when in Flash mode. When the LED display reads 
"FL", Flash mode is active. Simply tap the Flash button to toggle this mode on and off. 
 
 

Program 

 
The Program button is used to program memory scenes, flash scenes, chases and audio trigger effects. Simply 
press the Program button followed by the function desired to initiate programming.
