OnAir 2000M2 Digital Mixing Console
Date printed: 12.11.03 SW V 4.0
Automation 10-3
10.3.3 Output Selection
The CAB is able to control the output assignment (program/record bus) of
the currently selected input of any channel. This allows, for instance, to
route speech to the program output, and music to the record output.
10.3.4 Start a New Title from Schedule
In automatic mode, the CAB can start a new title automatically (it is also
possible to start new titles manually; then, the operator opens the fader
while the channel is already switched ON, or switches the desired channel
ON while the fader is already open).
Automatic New Title Start: The CAB can control the console automatically. This automatic mode
must be activated from within the CAB and can, for example, be used for
controlling a program during the night without any assistance.
If the CAB runs in automatic mode, it starts playback of the source and
opens the appropriate channel with the pre-defined level and fade-in time.
This will send a new audio level to the DSP, and switch the channel ON in
any case.
If a take ends, the CAB performs a cross-fade on its audio card, the se-
lected channels on the console remain open.
If the CAB changes the audio level, the mechanical position of the fader
knob differs from the “electrical” fader position, i.e. the level set by the
CAB. Moving the fader knob will have no effect on the level unless the
electrical fader position is “caught” with the fader knob.
This is simplified by the touch screen indication, as shown below.
The large arrow at the bottom (or top) indicates the direction in which the
fader has to be moved. The narrow horizontal line indicates the current
mechanical fader position. It follows the fader knob when it is moved to-
wards the two small left-and-right arrows indicating the electrical fader
position.
