Global Filter
ISO Key Functionality
[ISO] keys on the consoles input and output channel strips have 3 states: 2 ON states and 1 OFF state.
Pressing the key will cycle round the states in the order OFF, ON1, ON2, OFF, ON1 etc.
Note that state ON2 will only exist if a partial Isolation has been set up on the strip (using the press &
hold functionality – see below).
OFF state: (key not illuminated): No Isolation of any parameters.
ON1 state: (key illuminated): Full channel Isolation – purple border around channel/bus
ON2 state: (key illuminated): Partial Isolation activated on strip, if this has been set up using one of
two methods : Press & Hold or Edit Global Filter mode. Indicated by the selected individual parameters
displayed in purple.
Press & Hold ISO Key Functionality
To make a partial isolation: hold down an [ISO] key and make a short press on the VST function block to
select the whole block. A wide purple LED-style indicator on the screen shows the isolated block state.
If the function block is NOT already zoomed, it is possible to hold down the [ISO] key and then press &
hold the function block for 2 secs, in order to activate the zoom mode.
If the function block is already zoomed, individual parameters can be touched, (or the adjacent VST key
pressed) and the parameter label text will change to purple to indicate selection.
The colour of that parameter in the function block touch field will change to purple to indicate parameter-
level isolation.
Global Filter ON/OFF switch
A set of master controls for the Global Filter is located in the VST area in the Cue List screen.
The Global Filter master {ON} key allows the complete Global Filter settings on all channels to be
temporarily switched off if required.
The Global Filter Master {ON} key switches ON as soon as any ISO buttons on the console are pressed
If Global Filter On is then switched OFF, the isolation state and all indications of it on the surface will be
removed (including illuminated [ISO] keys and purple Vistonics graphics). The state of these will be held in
memory however, enabling it to be switched back on again later.
If Global Filter On is switched ON again, without pressing any [ISO] keys in the meantime, then the state of
the filter will be restored from memory to the surface.
Clearing The Global Filter
If the Global Filter {On} key is OFF, pressing any local [ISO] key (either short or long press) will clear any
previously set Global Filter, which may be being held in memory, and start a ‘new’ Global Filter on the
surface with the newly-selected parameters.
The Global Filter On switch in the Cue List page will automatically change to the ON state when the first
parameter is selected.
