button and flashing of all source and destination
displays, to remind the operator that these would
be the intended settings when the change is made.
Pressing the PREVIEW button a second time will
cancel the preview. It should be noted that no
audio signals are changed in any way by the
preview feature.
Event Default Button
This control allows rapid access to a default or
home control surface setting. Push it, and the TAKE button in the Preview
section will flash. Hit the TAKE button and the default setting will be
executed.
Establishing the Default Setting
This setting would normally be set only once. For example, it may be
desirable to have all controls set to zero, or everything programmed to
typical nominal settings. To establish the default setting, adjust all the
control surface controls to their desired settings, press the MODIFY button
and then the DEFAULT button. The default setting is stored.
Naming an Event
When events are saved, they receive a default event designation
number. This way events can be saved quickly without having to name
them. However, an event may be custom named when saved, or at a later
time. To rename the displayed event, press the ALPHA SCROLL knob.
The CURSOR LT and CURSOR RT buttons will light and the cursor,
indicated by a flashing character, will be at the beginning of the name. Also,
the SAVE button will begin to flash. At any time you can use CURSOR LT
and CURSOR RT to move to a character you want to change. Once the
cursor is at the desired character, rotate the ALPHA SCROLL encoder until
the desired new character is displayed. Once all desired characters have
been changed, simply press SAVE to save your changes. The event is stored
with the desired name. At any time you can cancel the name edit by pressing
the ALPHA SCROLL knob. Also, if you stop making name changes but fail
to press the SAVE button, the name edit process will automatically cancel
after a delay of several seconds.
Control Modes
The D-12 control surface is operated in one of three modes. In Admin-
istrator mode access is allowed to all surface functions. In User mode a
limited set of user functions is allowed. The set of functions allowed in User
mode is set independently for each console using the Bridge XPoint
software (see the Bridge Router manual for details). The third mode, Guest,
blocks out MXM level, MXM assign, Event takes, and visibility changes
from being controlled by the surface.
