Exercise 2

SIDE NOTE:

Engaging MBR mode

3 - 14
MBR mode can be applied to both moving and non-motorized fader
MBR
systems, and in absolute as well as trim modes. Normally, in order
to automate a fader, you would press the [Mix On] key to activate
the mix system, select the [Fdr] object key, play the time code
source (see Pass Rec light) and press any fader's punch (attention) key
to immediately begin writing automation data. By first pressing the
[MBR] button, you instruct the console to put any fader into a monitor
"preview" mode when it is first punched-in. This suspends automation control
of that fader, allowing you to have manual control over its level in advance of
writing any automation data. The fader operates manually as if it were in Set
mode even though it is still in Dynamic mode ready to record automation. A
look at the Template screen will confirm its red Dynamic status. Once you have
set your new level, pressing the fader's punch key a second time, begins
writing automation data.
In this exercise, we will show how to engage and abort MBR mode, both for a
single motorized fader and standard non-motorized fader. Using MBR assumes
that you know how to set up the console, load titles and record automation.
You will also need a valid mix containing previous fader automation data. You
can use one of your existing mixes or create a new mix and write fader moves
prior to performing this exercise. For more information on these subjects, see
the Tutorial and Automation sections of the CS3000/2000 Operation Manual.
Be sure you have a title loaded, the [Mix On] key is active, the [Punch] key is
illuminated and the [Fdr] object key on the DSC is selected (illuminated).
Press the [MBR] key and start your time code source or use the console's VTM
(Virtual Tape Machine). The descriptions which follow cover consoles with and
without Moving Faders.
Moving Fader
If the Motors menu option is set On, Moving Faders caps will start to
follow the fader's automation data.
Non-motorized fader
For non-motorized faders, the null LEDs will begin to indicate relative
fader levels.
To engage MBR mode, either touch a moving fader's cap or press the standard
fader's punch (attention) key.
Moving Fader
You will notice two events. First, the fader cap will stop following the
automation data for that channel. Secondly, the fader's null LEDs will
begin blinking at a fast rate. This signifies that fader is now in MBR
mode.
