The control matches back to the play pass using the Manual Glide time.• Auto Glide: This is when a control matches back to the play pass automatically when it is released.The Auto Glide time is used.• Manual Match: This is when the GLIDE key is pressed while a control that is recording automationis being touched. The alpha associated with the control will display an arrow indicating the directionto move the control to match to the play pass. The control will drop out of record when the playpass position is matched. If the control is released before it is matched, it will remain in positionwaiting to be matched. If the play pass goes through the control position then the control will returnto play back. If the transport is stopped before the control is matched then the control will drop outof record and snap back, the same as any control in record when transport is stopped.Initial Snapshot (ISS)The Initial Snapshot (ISS) list contains the initial state of all controls which are not in Isolate when thesystem is put into Play or which are taken out of Isolate while the system is in Play.There is also an option in Automation Preferences (First Mode Change Updates ISS) that will force theInitial Snapshot to be updated with the current setting for a control when it is taken out of Isolate for thefirst time.The Initial Snapshot settings are stored as automation events at the beginning of a Mix/Pass.MIOSAcronym for Modular Input / Output System.Each MIOS rack can consist of up to 6 (in total) of the following modules in any configuration:• Mic/Line (4 Mic A, 4 Mic B and 4 Line Input)• Input (16 Line Inputs)• Output (16 Line Outputs)• AES (8 Inputs & 8 Outputs)The audio from the rack is converted into Madi for the Quad-Madi II card.Each rack has a headphone socket for monitoring Inputs & Outputs and 2 stereo monitor outputs(as L & R XLRs).- 12 -
