Automation Operation - Panasonic WR-DA7 User Manual

14-4 AUTOMATION Operation

Preparations
Before starting Automation you need to prepare by connecting any external
input signals for timecode reference, such as SMPTE, MTC, or MIDI CLK. Or,
you select INT as the time reference. You also need to make sure that all of
your audio sources are connected and operational.
Connect the master timecode device to the DA7 such as MTC, SMPTE or
1
MIDI CLK.
Route the signals as necessary from inputs, equalizer and dynamics, and
2
to outputs.
AUTOMATION SETUP
Press the AUTOMATION button in the SETUP section of the Top Panel
1
to display the [AUTOMATION SETUP] window. Depending on which
screen you were on the last time you accessed this area, you may have
to press the AUTOMATION button to cycle through the windows.
If you wish specific channels to stay non-automated, cursor to the
2
channels that you wish to operate manually during the play-back of
Automation in the [MANUAL CHANNEL SELECT] area of the
[AUTOMATION SETUP] window. Press the ENTER button to select
them. The selected channels will appear as inverse video.
To begin to store a new mix, cursor to the [NEW MIX] button in the
3
[MEMORY] area, and press the ENTER button. This will save all of the
current settings of the DA7 as SCENE MEMORY 00. This setting is where
the DA7 will begin recording of the automation data.
