Flip to Faders
When enabled, the current encoder parameter is mapped to
the channel faders. It can still be controlled from the encoder
row, so the channel fader mirrors the setting. When Flip is en-
gaged, all channel name display backlights turn yellow, the
same color as the flip switch. Channel name is displayed in
the upper row of the LCD, with the flipped parameter dis-
played in the lower row (mirroring the effect of Flip to Faders).
Flip to Faders provides a special mode when working with
stereo Aux sends. For information, see Chapter 10, "Auxes
and Variable Groups."
Input Channel LCD Display
There are a total of three Input Channel LCD displays, one
each for Inputs 1–8, 9–16 and 17–24.
Each LCD provides two rows of data with six characters per
row, per input channel. The upper and lower rows let you see
more than one type of channel data simultaneously, such as
channel name in the lower row and fader dB level in the upper
row while you adjust the fader. Data display depends on the
current encoder assignment.
Input Encoder Assignments and Values
The current encoder assignment, parameter or value is dis-
played in the top row of the input displays. There are two
states the top row can be in: Parameter Value mode and Pa-
rameter Name mode.
When necessary, the display abbreviates displayed functions
as shown in the following table.

Source Switch
The Source switch in the Display section changes the Channel
Name display to show the source input which is feeding each
channel. For example, "S1 17" indicates the channel source is
Stage Rack 1, Input 17.
Select Switch
The Select switch on each channel is used to target the chan-
nel in the Selected Channel sections, and to include the chan-
nel in Multi-Select and Multi-Assign functions. A lit Select
switch indicates the channel is selected. The name of the cur-
rently selected channel is displayed in the Channel Name dis-
play and in the Selected Channel display. When multiple
channels are selected, the Channel Name display indicates
which channel is the ACS target.
Solo Switch
The Solo switch toggles the solo state of that channel. When
enabled, the Solo switch LED is lit. When the channel is in
Solo Safe mode, the Solo switch LED flashes. Channel Solo
latches on a momentary press, and automatically releases if
held for 2 seconds or more and released.
Mute Switch
The Mute switch mutes the channel at the (pre-fader) mute
point. Channel pre-fader pickoff is post-mute.
Input Faders and Banking
Each channel fader is a 100mm motorized, touch-sensitive
fader.
The Options > Interaction screen lets you enable touch-sensi-
tive channel selection. When enabled, touching a channel
fader automatically selects that channel and makes it the Se-
lected Channel
The faders on D-Show can be moved even when they do not
sense a touch. This allows use of the faders while wearing
gloves. It also lets you "throw" a fader and have it stay
where it lands, and not snap back to the point it was last
touched.
Fader Banking Controls
Bank A–D Banks the Input strips. Up to four banks (A through
D) can be used to access up to 96 inputs from the 24 Input
Channel faders. Bank A is channels 1–24, Bank B is channels
25–48, and so on.
FX Returns Banks FX Return channels 1–8 to Input faders 1–8,
or FX Returns 9–16 to Input faders 9–16.
