2-0 Desk Operation
SETUP: GROUPS
Pressing this key will enter/exit GROUPS (control or mute groups) setup mode.
After having entered SETUP: GROUPS, the user selects the group he wants to
edit by pressing LINK / SEL on the corresponding group master channel. Then
the desired channels are added to or removed from the group by pressing their
LINK / SEL key.
Note: The MULTISEL key is active as standard, thus allowing to select and de-
select individual channels. Clearing the entire definition of a control group is
easily done by pressing the MULTI SEL key, so that it gets dark. After that, any
press on LINK / SEL of any channel will clear all others. It is also possible to
add multiple channels to a control group: Press and hold one LINK / SEL key
and press another one on a different channel. All channels in between will be
added to the control group.
SETUP: CONF
If the DSP configuration contains n-x buses, it is possible to setup an off-air
conference between n-x owner channels. After pressing this key, all n-x owner
channels become half-lit, and members of a conference can be selected (fully-
lit). As soon as their fader is closed, they will be able to talk to each other.
The conference setup is immediately edited, also while the console is still in
setup mode. This allows for frequent changes of the conference members, e.g.
during election reports. Talking to a member of the conference will activate
talkback to the whole conference at the same time.
CONF: ON
The CONF: ON key is lit as soon as a conference is set up. The conferencing
may temporarily be deactivated by clicking on the conference icon in the
toolbar or by pressing CONF: ON on the control bay. In this case the conference
defi nition is retained. As soon as the conference is reactivated globally (by
pressing CONF: ON or clicking on the conference icon in the toolbar again),
the previously selected channels may talk to each other again.
The conference icon in the toolbar has three states:
Colored: Conference active (if member faders closed)
closed).
