Rate override
Rate override allows you to control both the fade’s rate and percentage of
completion. When you play back a cue using rate override, the console
controls the percentage of completion, but you control the rate. 25
Rate override allows you to play back a cue faster or slower than the rate
at which it was recorded. The rate wheel adjusts the fade rate.
Fade rate is expressed as a percentage. A cue with a fade rate of 100
percent plays back at its recorded fade time. A fade rate of 300 plays the
cue back three times faster than its recorded fade time. A fade rate of 50
plays the cue back half as fast as its recorded fade time. For example, if
you record a cue with a 10 second fade time, a rate of 200 causes it to
play back in five seconds. A fade rate of 50 causes it to play back in 20
seconds.
You may take control of a cue’s fade rate while the cue is running. In
addition, you may press both [Rate] keys to control rate of both fades.
Follow this example to place a cue in a fader under rate override:
Keystrokes:
Action:
1. Press [Rate] key for the
fader in which the cue is
running. (Press both [Rate]
keys if you wish to control
both faders.)
Activates rate control
2. Move the rate wheel. Fades are placed under control of the
rate wheel. Fader Status window
shows the current rate
25.
When finished with the manual rate override, you can record the
modified fade rate into the cue if you wish. See Using Update to
modify fade rate, page 104.
