11 - Cascade—Using the cascade
11–4
the monitor signal on the master unit with the PFL
signal.
The
PFL
indicators on all units will flash, showing
that a PFL signal is currently being monitored. The
indicators will go out (and monitoring will revert to
the monitor source selected on the master unit) when
all PFL solos are cleared on all cascaded units.
11.2.6Soloing (IPS)
When the IPS solo mode is selected, soloing a chan-
nel on any console will mute all other channels on all
other cascaded units, unless they have been solo
defeated (see 5.4.1, “Inplace solo defeat”).
The solo defeat function is set for each unit in the
cascade independently.
11.2.7SOLO all clear
When a number of channels are soloed, including
channels on a number of different units in the cas-
caded, the soloing can be cleared from any unit in the
chain, following the procedure described in 5.4.4,
“To clear all soloed channels” (press and hold down
the
CLR
key of the numeric keypad and press any
channel’s
SOLO
key).
11.2.8Snapshot library functions
When a snapshot is recalled from any unit in the cas-
cade (see 8.1.2, “Recalling a snapshot”), all units in
the cascade will attempt to recall snapshots with the
same number.
If no data has been previously stored to the snapshot
memory, a unit attempting to recall the snapshot will
display the appropriate message.
When a snapshot is stored, using any unit in the cas-
cade (see 8.1.3, “Storing a snapshot”), the current
settings will be stored on all units in the cascade. The
existing snapshot memories in that memory location
are automatically overwritten in all units other than
the one from which the store operation was
requested.
If store operation is to be confirmed on the unit from
which the store operation was requested (i.e. the
snapshot data will overwrite an existing library
entry), no data will be overwritten in the other units
until the
ENTER
key is pressed to confirm the over-
write operation.
When a snapshot is named from a unit in the cascade,
that name will be copied over the cascade, so that all
units in the cascade will use the same name for that
snapshot number.
Snapshot undo and redo functions (see 8.1.2,
“Recalling a snapshot” also work for all units in the
cascade, if performed from any unit in the cascade
chain.
11.2.9Talkback in the cascade
Pressing the
TO SLATE
key of any unit in the cascade
will activate the talkback microphone of that unit,
routing the microphone to slate, and will also dim the
CR
outputs of the master unit.
However, pressing either the
STUDIO
or the
TO AUX
1-2
key of a slave unit only outputs the signal of the
slave’s talkback microphone from the slave’s outputs
(which will almost certainly not be connected to the
monitoring systems).
Accordingly, the master unit is effectively the only
unit in the cascade where the
STUDIO
and the
TO
AUX 1-2
keys can be used.
