The vca MUTE switches act on any post
fader input channels or audio sub groups
which are assigned to be controlled from
the corresponding VCA masters. The
switches can be controlled from snapshot
automation.
The AUTO SAFE switches disable
snapshot automation control of the VCA
master faders and VCA mutes.
The STATUS LEDs are off when the
console is in VCA or MUTE assignment
modes (see assignment operation). When
the console is in FADER mode the
STATUS LEDs can indicate one of
three states: -
FADER MANUAL RECALL AND NULL
In this mode, the STATUS LEDs are used
to prompt the operator where to move the
fader. If the fader is not at the position
stored in the current recalled snap shot,
one/two LEDs will flash to indicate
where the fader should be. A single
flashing LED indicates that the fader
should positioned next to that LED, if
two LEDs are flashing the fader should
be between the two LEDs. As the fader is
moved closer to the required position the
LED(s) will stop flashing and will be
replaced by a single continuously lite
LED. Once the fader is at the correct
position all LEDs will extinguish.
FADER POSITION CHECK
When a scene's contents are being
"checked" (see automation operation) the
STATUS LEDs will indicate the fader
position stored in the scene by
continuously illuminating one or two
LEDs as appropriate.

The vca SOLO switches are used to
monitor the VCA master faders by
creating a mix on the solo busses which
consists of all input channels and audio
sub groups which are assigned to
control from the corresponding VCA
masters. If a VCA solo switch is pressed
for a short time it will latch on or off,
but if it is held on for more than 1
second the latching is disabled and
when the switch is released the solo
will turn off. When the console is
operating in SOLO ADD MODE input
channels have priority over VCA solos
and will temporarily override them.
VIRTUAL FADER RECALL
When in VIRTUAL FADER mode (see
automation operation) the automation
system will generate a "virtual" fader, set
to the level of the input fader at the time
the snap shot was stored. The level of the
virtual fader is added to the level of the
physical input fader. In this mode the
STATUS LEDs indicate the "position" of
the virtual fader by illuminating a bar of
LEDs starting at - . ¥
