When a SnapShot is recalled you will notice a number of red indicators on the
console light up. As you recall a SnapShot, the audio electronics in the Tower
instantly reset to match the SnapShot audio levels. These levels may be
different from the actual physical positions of the controls, in which case a red
"null" indicator lights up next to the control. At this point the audio is under
computer control. Green means a control is aligned with the computer level
and red means the control is not aligned.
Try recalling any SnapShot that lights one of the fader red null indicators. Go
to that fader and move the fader in the direction of the red arrow. As the fader
passes through the null point, control is regained and the red indicator will go
out (in Auto-Null mode only – see below).
There are two options available for nulling recalled controls; Manual Null and
Auto Null. These modes can be switched from the DSC Assignable Keys (see
bottom of page 3-10) or by pressing [F2] from the SnapShot menu. This toggles
between the different modes:
Auto Null
**SS=10
F1
Manual Null **SS=10
F1
The "a" indicates Auto Null, "m" indicates Manual Null.
In Auto Null, the fader or knob automatically regains control of the audio when
it passes through the null point. For fader nulling, the red arrow indicates
which direction the fader needs to be moved to reach the null point.
With Manual Null, the fader null indicator goes green when the fader matches
the audio. You must press the block key to regain control of the nulled fader.
For fast operation the Auto Null option is better. The Manual Null mode is
most useful when you just want to exactly match all the faders to the
SnapShot position. When you have moved the faders to the null, rather than
having to hit all the individual block keys, you can simply switch to the Auto
Null mode. When you move the faders away from the null they will automati-
cally activate.
In some instances, nulling does not operate as described above when used
with motorized faders. See the motorized faders portion of the Automation
Section for more information.
