The operation of the Procon II two-scene may be best understood by dividing the various controls
into groups. The groups for the purpose of this manual are: The Master Section (1), The
Crossfader Section (2). The Submaster Section (3). The Channel Sectiona (4). The Effects
Section (5) (see page 7 for diagram).
MASTER SECTION (1)
The controls grouped into the master section are the Grand Master slider and the Blackout
switch. These two controls have a global effect on the rest of the console. The Grand Master
slider proportionally adjusts the level of the scene selected by the crossfader.
When the Blackout switch is in the up position, the console is in normal operation with the
indicator LED showing green. When in the down position, the console is in Blackout mode,
taking all channel outputs to a level of zero. The LED changes to red when the console is in the
Blackout mode.
CROSSFADER SECTION (2)
The controls grouped into the crossfader section are the X scene slider and the Y scene slider. In
a two scene console typically one scene is 'active' while the other scene is being pre-set for the
next lighting cue. The crossfader controls select which is the active scene, and which is the
inactive scene (which may be altered without affecting the outputs). The X scene slider affects
the top row of channel controls (the X scene) whereas the Y scene slider affects the bottom row
of channel controls (the Y scene). The Y scene slider is 'up-side-down' from all other sliders on
the console in that it's output is at maximum when the slider is all the way down (toward the
operator) and is at zero when the slider is all the way up (toward the chase control). The Y scene
slider is oriented this way so that smooth fades from one scene to the other may be made by
moving both the X and the Y scene sliders together. However, the two scene sliders do not have
to be moved together. By splitting the crossfaders, one scene may be faded out before the other
scene is faded in, or the inactive scene may be faded in before the active scene is faded out.
