Physical and Virtual FadersThe alphanumeric keyboard is used to access functions when no physical controls are present, orshould the operator prefer to do so.examples of keystrokes Activates the blackout function: this toggles the blackout function on and off. Whenblackout is activated there is no output from the desk, the LED in the B/O key flashes, and “B-O”in red is displayed in the GM box on monitor 1. Increases the level of the grand master. Decreases the level of the grand master.3.4 The Override FaderThe override fader is controlled by a pair of keys, and , on all hardware platformsexcept PHOENIX 2, VISION 10 RB and PHOENIX RB, in which case it is entirely virtual. The overridefacility forces intensities beyond 100% of their current level, up to 140%, but works on all channelsproportionally. Intensities that are at FF cannot go beyond 100%, but intensities that are less than100% can be proportionally increased until they reach 140% of their original level or absolute 100%,whichever comes first. This is the opposite function of the grand master fader: where the grand masterproportionally decreases intensities, the over-ride fader proportionally increases them. is usedto return the level back to 100%, but not lower.examples of keystrokes Proportionally increases the output of all channels until they reach 140% of their initialvalue. Proportionally decreases the output of all channels until they return to their initial value.OR 3.5 The Auditorium FaderThe auditorium is a special group, or list of channels, which is allocated to the auditorium fader.This group can then be manually faded down or out at any time, as the fader has an inhibitive effect.One example of using this feature would be to allocate all the front of house lights in a traditionalproscenium theatre to the auditorium fader.Then, whenever the house curtain is lowered, all lights that would otherwise spill onto it can be fadedout as and when required.3.5.1 Allocating channels to the auditorium faderThe channel list assigned to the auditorium fader can be added to or changed at any time.Page:8Issue 1.01www.adblighting.com
