Vi5000/7000 User Manual 5.5: BUTTONS OVERVIEW
OPS OVERVIEW > CONSOLE BUTTONS
Lower [FLW] Button
Input faders follow master bus selection.
The fader FOLLOW OUTPUT SOLO [FLW] button located near the bottom of the Master Bay buttons strip (not
the VISTONICS encoder [FLW] buttons) causes the input faders to become contributions to an output bus when
its [SOLO/SEL] button is pressed (often known as 'Sends on Faders mode').
Matrix (MTX) [SOLO/SEL] buttons work differently. If a Matrix Output Solo/Sel is pressed, regardless of the set-
ting of Follow Solo modes, the Output Solo will be activated, the EQ/Dyn/Misc touch screen for the Matrix Output
displayed, and the channel faders will be assigned to the contribution levels from the Outputs to the Soloed
Matrix Output.
Note: the lower [FLW] key has an additional function in allowing VCAs to control the Aux sends of input channels.
See the Mute & VCA reference chapter 9 for details.
Main Menu Button
Brings up the Main Menu screen in the Master Bay.
Settings and preferences for a variety console functions are arranged in tabbed pages in the main menu. For more
information, see the Main Menu reference chapter 16.
Input Priority
Allow an Output Solo to remain active, whilst an Input Solo is temporarily activated 'over the top'
of it.
For more information see the SOLO System reference chapter 8.
Lock Meters
Locks the Meter section of the Master Bay touch screen onto the screen.
The meter section will be safe from output selections bringing the channel up on the touch screen, for example.
[SETUP] buttons still takeover the screen though.
