General Fader Controls

Although any Element faders can handle any type of
audio source, some fader functions change their
behavior depending upon the type of source as-
signed. Also, certain fader modules have "extra"
controls for specific uses. The controls found on
the Element 4-Fader Line Module (Figure 5-1)
are common to all Element modules, so we'll look
at these first.
•
Fader Assignment Display
The 10 character alpha display shows the
source presently assigned to this channel. If the
fader's button is pressed and the opera-
Options
tor changes sources, this display changes too.
If a channel is ON and the operator changes
its source, the display will flash between the
source currently on-air and the newly selected
source. The fader will not "take" the new source
until the operator has turned the channel off, pre-
venting on-air errors. If a Show Profile is loaded
that specifies an unavailable source, the display
reads
Requested source not
Just above the alpha display is a Status Symbol
display. This display indicates the fader's channel
number or presents a Status Symbol to indicate
when backfeed or talkback is active.

by holding the Options key and pressing the OFF key.
Each time the OFF key is pressed, the fader will take the
next source from that fader's list of available sources.

Each channel is assigned to any of the three main
keys. Generally, PGM-1 is the main air bus and
other buses are used for production or other pro-
gramming requirements. All program outputs are
post-fader and post on-off function.
