Chapter 9: Control Groups and

Multi Format Masters

9.1Control Groups

System 5-B supports Control Groups which allow a Group Master channel to control multiple slave channels. Control Groups are similar to traditional VCA Groups. The Group Master channel can be assigned to a strip just like any other channel. The most common use of a Control Group is to control similar channels from one strip. For ex- ample, a single master fader can be used to change the fader level of all announcer mics. System 5-B allows up to 48 Control Groups, each of which can control the following channel settings: Fader, On/Off, Pan, Aux, Filters, EQ, Dynamics and Input.

The relative fader level of each slave channel can be individually set and the master channel preserves these relative fader levels as the master fader is altered. This allows all slave channels to be smoothly faded out by bringing down the master fader. The Groups Panel (Figure 9-1)provides the interface to configure the settings. Empty Con- trol Groups are displayed with dim illumination (G5–G24). Press the Page keys to dis- play the two sets of 24 Control Groups.
