The input fader panel can be used as a conventional channel fader or as part of the
automation system.

switches disable any remote control over the channel as selected:

- The channel mute will not be affected by automute or snapshot automation

- The channel fader will not be affected by virtual fader automation or the VCA

master fader (including VCA mutes).

- The channel will not be affected by snapshot automation. Automutes, VCA

masters and assignment systems will remain active.

- The set switch is a momentary switch that toggles the VCA and mute assignments for

the channel.

In the central console, either mute or VCA operation can be selected. Then using the assign
keys, the appropriate VCA or automute can be selected. Pressing the channel set switch for
more than half a second will erase the existing VCA or automute assignments and then
accept the new ones. A quick press will simply toggle the new settings.

i.e. If the channel is assigned to VCA 1,3 and 4 and the assign keys are then set to 1 and 2
and the channel set button is pressed quickly. The resulting VCA assignment for the channel
would be VCA’s 2,3 and 4.

When setting mute or VCA assignments, the current assignment will be shown in the ten (10)
LED’s adjacent to the fader.

- The SOLO switch sends the input channel signal to the PFL mono and AFL stereo

busses. If the switch is pressed for a short time it will latch on or off, but if it is held on for
more than 1 second the latching is disabled and when the switch is released the channel solo
will turn off. As a default the solo system is auto cancelling so each new solo cancels the last.
This function is time dependant which allows several solos to be active as long as they are
switched on at approximately the same time. The SOLO ADD MODE switch on the MONITOR
module defeats the auto cancelling and allows multiple channel monitoring. In this mode
input solos have priority over outputs and will temporarily override any active output solos.
The input solos also override any active VCA solos.

The

function varies according to the virtual fader setting. Normally, the fader gives continuous

adjustment of the input channel level from off (-inf) to +10dB.

In Virtual fader mode, the ‘real’ fader is used to trim the ‘virtual’ fader shown on the fader LEDs. When taken to
0dB the fader trims the virtual fader level (i.e. at 0dB the channel level is that of the virtual fader snapshot
memory but can be trimmed to +10dB or down to -inf).

In addition to showing VCA and mute assignments, the ten (10) LED’s adjacent to the channel fader perform a
number of different operations depending upon the settings on the central console.

In this mode, the STATUS LEDs are used to prompt the operator where to move the fader. If the fader is not at the
position stored in the current recalled snap shot, one/two LEDs will flash to indicate where the fader should be. A
single flashing LED indicates that the fader should positioned next to that LED, if two LEDs are flashing the fader
should be between the two LEDs. As the fader is moved closer to the required position the LED(s) will stop flashing
and will be replaced by a single continuously lit LED. Once the fader is at the correct position all LEDs will
extinguish.

When a scene's contents are being "checked" (see automation operation) the STATUS LEDs will indicate the fader
position stored in the scene by continuously illuminating one or two LEDs as appropriate.

When in VIRTUAL FADER mode (see automation operation) the automation system will generate a "virtual" fader,
set to the level of the input fader at the time the snap shot was stored. The level of the virtual fader is added to the
level of the physical input fader. In this mode the STATUS LEDs indicate the "position" of the virtual fader by
illuminating a bar of LEDs starting at off (-inf).
