closed’ position on one of the two and vice versa allows using one GPI to
control opening
and
closing of different channels at the same time.
Speed ON: Determines the time used for fading in the corresponding channel.
Speed OFF: Determines the time used for fading out the corresponding channel.
Activation: The fade actions may be activated by different events. Several events may
be enabled at the same time. The fade will take place whenever one of the
activated events is detected:
GPI: Select one of the general-purpose inputs available on the console for trigger-
ing the fade.
Fader Touch: Touch-and-release the fader in order to activate the fade.
Note: If the fader is moved while being touched, no automatic fade is being exe-
cuted. This prevents from accidental fading.
User Key 1/2: The fade is activated when pressing the corresponding USER 1 or USER 2 key
on each channel.
Note: In case adjusted values should constantly jump back to their previous values,
check that the
C:\D950System\Sig...ini
file is not write protected.
4.4.4 Snapshot Page
The snapshot page of the graphical controller can be called up in three different
ways:
• From the View button , by clicking on the appropriate icon
• Using the Quick Access Toolbar icons, by clicking on the appropriate icon;
• Using the
SNAPSHOT
function key on the console – which is probably the
fastest way.
The snapshot page deals with snapshot and preset management. Snapshots
and presets are extremely helpful when working with a digital console as they
contain the static values for all console parameters. The difference between
snapshots and presets is simple: While snapshots can be edited freely, presets
are accessible for editing in system administration mode only (refer to chapter
4.7 ).
Snapshots are saved within titles, and presets are provided with configura-
tions. Because of this, snapshots are readily available only while using the
title in which they were created. On the other hand, all presets that were
created for a particular configuration are available in any title that uses that
configuration. This allows presets to be used as templates (based upon that
configuration), while snapshots are specific to individual projects or sessions.
An other difference between snapshots and presets is that any filtering mecha-
nism is active for snapshots only, but not for presets. This means that after
having recalled a preset , the user can always be sure to have all audio settings
of this preset applied.
Using the Import facility from the Application menu, it is possible to use
snapshots and presets from other titles and configurations, refer to chapter
4.5.4 .
Because it is possible to save an unlimited number of snapshots, Vista ope-
rators will probably find themselves using them more and more every day.
